On The Town:
Harvest in the Square
September 23, 2004
 StarChefs
editors were out and about at this year’s Harvest in
the Square celebration. This annual culinary showcase offers
New Yorkers a chance to sample dishes from 45 of the neighborhood’s
best restaurants with proceeds benefiting the Capital Campaign
for the Completion of Union Square Park.
The mood was casual and festive, a far cry
from the hustle and bustle of the park’s usual daytime
traffic. Throughout the evening, we rubbed elbows with the
likes of Danny Meyer from Union Square Hospitality Group,
Eric Petterson of The Coffee Shop, and Alfred Portale
of Gotham Bar & Grill. We also bumped into Cyril
Renaud of Fleur de Sel and Marco Moreira of Tocqueville,
whose recipes we recently featured in an article about the
Union
Square Farmers’ Market.
Some of the best restaurants in the country, as well as the
StarChefs offices, surround Union Square Park. We were proud
to support our culinary community and participate in this
special event to raise funds for the park.
