Last May’s inaugural event brought over 40 of the neighborhood’s top restaurants together along with over 1,500 hungry participants to eat and drink for a great cause.

We were able to raise close to $100,000 toward renovating the historic Engine 212 firehouse on Wythe Ave, getting one step closer to the $2 million needed to make it a reality.

We need your help to make this year’s event better than last’s...

If you would like to be a participating restaurant, sponsor, or volunteer, sign up now!!
