The event also had live cultural performances, lucky draws, a photo booth and interactive games.

 All the proceeds from ticket sales are donated by the TMI Charitable Foundation to the Food Bank For New York City.

What a wonderful way to spend a day, sampling tasty bites that help support such a worthy cause.
