A SUGAR AND CHAMPAGNE AFFAIR
May 24, 2004
Join New York’s hottest pastry chefs as
they transform a hip bar in Chelsea into a sugar wonderland on behalf
of animal welfare at this year’s “A Sugar and Champagne
Affair.” Proceeds will benefit the Humane Law Enforcement
Department of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals (ASPCA). An all-star lineup of pastry chefs will be paired
up with handpicked champagne producers for this intimate evening
of sumptuous sweets and delicious bubbly.
“A Sugar and Champagne Affair” debuted
in Washington, D.C. two years ago, spearheaded by Ellen and Todd
Gray of Equinox (http://www.equinoxrestaurant.com). This year they
are bringing the event to New York and featuring the sweet sensations
of Lisa Scruggs of Equinox; Jean François Bonnet of Daniel;
Jason Licker of The Peninsula Hotel; John Miele of Aureole; Susan
Punturieri of Chanterelle; Vicki Wells of Mesa Grill; and William
Yosses of Citarella.
Tickets are $75 and may be purchased by calling
(212) 876-7700 ext. 4652. Additional funds will be raised at the
event through the sale of boxed chocolates donated by pastry instructors
of the French Culinary Institute. For more information, go to: www.sugarandchampagne.com
ABOUT THE ASPCA
