A Night of Culinary Stars

Treat the epicurean in you to a decadent night downtown at the expansive Vibiana for "A Night of Culinary Stars"—a lavish dining event taking place as a part of the James Beard Foundation's national Taste America culinary series. The evening begins with a ritzy reception brimming with bites and sips from local chefs, including République's Walter Manzke. Properly cocktailed, guests will then take their seats for an extravagant multi-course dinner, prepared by NYC's renowned Chef Aarón Sánchez, as well as star LA Chefs Nancy Silverton, Matt Molina and Dahlia Narvaez of the Mozza Restaurant Group. Individual tickets to the sumptuous evening will run you $275, and just might be worth the splurge.
