CITY HARVEST’S 2012 SUMMER
IN THE CITY
RESTAURANT TASTING AND COCKTAIL PARTY
City Harvest’s young professionals group, Generation
Harvest, will host its eleventh annual Summer in the City
restaurant tasting and cocktail party at the Metropolitan
Pavilion (125 West 18th Street, New York, NY) on Wednesday,
June 20th. The VIP Hour will begin at 6:30 p.m. and the
tasting & silent auction will take place from
7:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Summer in the City provides guests with the opportunity to
see some of the city’s newest culinary stars in action. It
is Generation Harvest’s biggest fundraising event of the
year and is attended by New York City’s young
philanthropists and tastemakers. Last year’s event featured
a musical performance by Savoir Adore and attracted over 600
guests, raising $270,000 to support City Harvest’s work
feeding New York’s hungry. Summer in the City will be a
success in 2012 thanks in part to Infiniti, the official
automobile sponsor, and all other event sponsors including
AriZona Beverages, Empire Merchants, Nespresso, Valiant, and
Vegware.
Ticket prices range from $150 - $250 and ticket packages
from $5,000 - $15,000. For more information, please call
