“NYC FoodFlood Dinner at Aldea”

NYC FoodFlood, an effort from New York City's top chefs to provide relief for those affected by Hurricane Sandy, will host a five-course dinner on Wednesday, November 7th at Aldea Restaurant.

Chef/owner George Mendes, Marco Canora (Hearth and Terroir), Seamus Mullen (Tertulia) and Andrew Carmellini (Locanda Verde and The Dutch), will each contribute a dish with ALDEA's own pastry chef Shelly Acuna preparing dessert.

The price per person is $300, though guests are invited to donate additional funds to help the cause.

All proceeds from the dinner will go towards the chefs' goal to reach local communities in need. In the days following the dinner, they will rent a truck and drive to the outer boroughs to bring hot food to the people whose homes and lives have been impacted by the storm.

The night will begin with a cocktail reception at 7pm followed by dinner and wine pairings at 7:30pm. Email nycfoodflood@gmail.com to make a reservation.

And, stay tuned for an announcement next week on which communities the chefs will be visiting.
