Citymeals-on-Wheels 21st Annual Chefs’ Tribute
June 12
As he has for over two decades, Restaurant Associates CEO Nick Valenti selflessly donates space and staff to support this popular event, and this year he gets honored for it. The theme, “Tutto Italia,” celebrates Valenti’s heritage and provides a convenient excuse to assemble top Italian chefs from near (Batali, Carmellini, Casella) and far (Chris Bianco, whose Phoenix pizzeria is the holy grail for the crust cognoscenti). Tickets, which begin at $500, are available at 212-687-1290.
