CARNAVAL FOR A CAUSE: A NIGHT WITH CITY HARVEST THAT RAISED OVER 8.5 MILLION MEALS

It was an unforgettable evening as we joined City Harvest for their 2025 Gala: Carnaval—a celebration that brought the color and energy of Latin America straight to New York City.

Held in support of City Harvest’s mission to rescue and deliver fresh, nutritious food to New Yorkers in need, the night raised enough to provide more than 8.5 million meals across the five boroughs. As New York City’s first and largest food rescue organization, City Harvest continues to set the standard for community-powered impact, and we were honored to be part of this incredible effort.

Guests were welcomed with Casa Dragones Joven before the night gave way to an immersive Carnaval-inspired experience. Colin Cowie and his team transformed the space with lush, transportive décor, while On The Move Events kept the energy high with live entertainment. Once-in-a-lifetime experiences donated by culinary icons including Enrique Olvera, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Cédric Vongerichten, Esther Choi, JP Park, Stefano Secchi, Rich Torrisi, Simon Kim, Eric Ripert, and many more. The Gala was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a city comes together with heart.
