Food and fun!
With the fresh and shiny Fall season upon us, there are plenty of events that are in the works.
It's the time for charitable events, and here is one that I love and am involved with.
On September 20th, it's the annual Share event: Share is a self help group for women with breast and ovarian cancer. And every year, their amazing foodie event takes place in a beautiful space at the Chelsea Piers.
During this event, celebrities are paired with celebrity chefs, and help the chefs to plate and serve tastings from some marvelous restaurants. All the chefs featured are women and the celebrities are too.
You can go and mingle with Broadway stars, media celebrities and well known authors.
