Westside Loft
25 September 2008, 1900
Taste For Hope is a fundraiser that supports the New York City Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. For a very reasonable donation of $100, patrons were invited to ascend to the 6th floor of the Westside Loft, a lovely open space on West 37th Street that can be rented for fundraising events, trade shows and holiday parties, and enjoy an evening of sampling delicacies from New York's finest. Taste For Hope benefits everyone involved. The MS society invites restaurants and beverage producers and distributors to set up tables in the loft and hand out samples of their wares. For those showcasing, the evening is a great means of publicity and the donation of their time and treats is for a great cause. For the attendees, nibbling and sipping the evening away makes the $100 donation worth every penny and, if I didn't already mention, it is for a great cause.
I attended Taste For Hope as a volunteer for Stout's sister-restaurant, F.A.T.S. (my homes away from home). Lucky for me when traffic around the table was slow, I was able to wander the loft and sample some wonderful goodies myself provided by Penn Brewery, Tommy Bahama Rum, Zipang Sparkling Sake, Becco, Stand, The Indian Bread Company, Hard Rock Cafe, and Terra Medi, to name a few. Definitely a delicious, wonderful, and inspiring evening.
