What has 19 superstar chefs, inspiring food and speakers, the hostess with the most-est Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, amazing auction items, spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty and hope by the plateful?

Lemon: NYC, of course!

Lemon: NYC is New York City’s premier culinary event benefiting Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. In its third year, Lemon:NYC brings together foodies, superstar chefs, sublime culinary creations and hope for children battling cancer into one spectacular evening.

Whether you are a foodie veteran or someone just out for a fabulous night for a great cause, Lemon:NYC has it all. Our host Chef Alex Guarnaschelli of New York’s Butter Restaurant and the Food Network has put together a beautiful and delicious evening guaranteed to wow your palate and fill your spirit with hope for cures for children battling cancer. This year’s event is a super social, interactive evening. Instead of sitting down for a formal meal, take a culinary tour with chefs from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Orleans.

In addition to incredible food and drinks, there are both silent and live auction items up for bid, including the chance to score a Private Cooking Class with Geoffrey Zakaria in his Iron Chef Food Studio.

Special honorees for Lemon: NYC are Anabelle and Daniel Bean, a dynamic sister and brother duo who have hosted five lemonade stands for ALSF in Manhattan, raising over $10,000 for childhood cancer research. Anabelle was just 7 and Daniel, 3, when they hosted their first lemonade stand in Manhattan. Anabelle and her mother, Dina, read about Alex’s story in a food magazine and the rest is lemonade history!
