Wednesday, July 14, 2010
A special thanks to the evening's sponsors Vincent and Josephine Corso of Blue |
Gloomy weather and a little rain did nothing to hamper the wonderful evening planned at One City Place for Savor & Support, a summer event benefitting My Sisters' Place.
In attendance were more than 300 guests eager to sample culinary delights from a wide variety of Westchester restaurants. With music provided by Sonny on the Piano and Augie of Planet DJ Augostino, everyone mingled among the tables featuring the expertise of the chefs at Blue, 42, BLT Steak, Graziella's, Legal Seafood, Milonga, Season's Bistro and Westchester Burger Company. To enhance each dish, Aries Fine Wines & Spirits, Evian Water, D. Bertolinni (Budweiser), and Harrison Beverage presented a range of drink options to satisfy any tastebud. Additionally, the participating restaurants graciously provided coupons for future dining experiences at your favorites.
With the help of One City Place and our sponsors, we were able to raise awarness about Domestic Violence in White Plains and build relationships within the community.
Many thanks to all of our individual and corporate sponsors and supporters.
