SLOW FOOD NYC FUNDRAISER


For all you foodies out there, there's a great benefit tomorrow night, November 16, in Brooklyn at The Invisible Dog Gallery that you should consider. It will feature artisanal cocktails by some of the finest mixologists in town, a whole pig roasted for us by Fatty ‘Cue other seasonal treats. My good friend, Mary Cleaver — a pioneer in the sustainable food movement and founder NYC's preeminent green caterer, Cleaver & Co (photos above come from Cleaver & Co events) — will be recognized as the 2011 Snailblazer Honoree awarded by Slow Food NYC. Slow Food is a non-profit, member-supported organization founded in 1989 to counteract the culture of fast food.

Money will raised through door admission ($100 general/$200 for VIP Hour) and via an auction. Party Proceeds benefit Urban Harvest programs which focus on kids in communities with limited access to fresh, healthful food – helping them learn about good food and their health, the health of their communities and the the health of the planet.
