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.

Le Dîner en Blanc has become a worldwide epicurean phenomenon and after a brief breaking due to that virus we won’t mention, is returning to the big apple. It’s one of our favorite experiences to attend. Le Diner en Blac is roughly attended by over 5000 guests dressed Head-To-Toe in white to experience the Culinary Event of the Year.
