My Dad is my hero. He also happens to be a Veteran who served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, which makes supporting foundations like Operation Warrior Shield even more special to me. Operation Warrior Shield is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, whose primary mission is to provide comprehensive support programs for service members, veterans, and first responders, with a focus on “Healing Their Hidden Wounds” through no-cost holistic wellness services. No matter the age, type of service, or years of service, it is imperative that veterans, first responders, and their families receive the help they need for wounds both visible and within.

Though the name is clear, the annual Taste of the Upper West Side doesn’t just resonate with those living in the neighborhood. As an Upper East Side gal, I make it a mission to hop on the bus and attend this unforgettable culinary experience each year after discovering it pre-pandemic. Now in its 14th year, the Taste of the Upper West Side is proudly hosted by The Columbus Avenue Business Improvement District and ensures that the proceeds from the annual fundraiser go back into the community and help fund neighborhood projects.
