Help Deaf Highschoolers Meet Their Meat

Dine at Candle 79 and Make Dreams Come True for Compassionate Kids!

It’s always a beautiful experience when city kids (some of whom have never seen a farm animal in person) can visit Farm Sanctuary. Students from the Lexington School for the Deaf in New York City are trying to raise funds to make their dream to meet the animals come true with a Fundraiser for Deaf Students at Candle 79 on Wednesday, April 30 from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. Simply make reservations for that evening at Candle 79, and a portion of your bill will go directly toward the children’s visit to Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, New York. Additional donations for the kids can also be made at the restaurant.

Where: Candle 79, 154 East 79th St.(near Lexington Avenue), New York, NY 10021

Benefit Dinner: Candle 79

 

Renowned restaurant, Candle 79 will host a fundraising dinner for DB’s favorite animal advocacy organization, Farm Sanctuary on Wednesday, January 30th.

Candle 79 is an elegant, organic, vegan escape in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. A favorite of local regulars and eco-chic celebrities like Sir Paul McCartney, Alicia Silverstone and Woody Harrelson, Candle 79 was voted best Vegetarian in the Zagat’s Guides for 2007 and 2008, and Reader’s Choice in this year’s VegNews. A gorgeous duplex space, beautifully presented, healthful and delicious seasonal cuisine and superb organic wines keeps Candle 79 at the forefront of a movement to bring the concept of local, seasonal, organic vegan cuisine into the culinary mainstream. Delightful dishes like “Live Coconut Pad Thai” and “Seitan Piccata,” and decadent desserts like “Chocolate Peanut Butter Bliss” convince their guests that at Candle 79, dining with a conscience is truly a pleasure!

DB’s Etiquette Recommendation: Dining out for a good cause with a date or your friends is both sophisticated and sexy. Dress to impress – if you are single, benefits are a perfect place to meet other people with similar values. Always remember to treat your servers with respect and tip generously if you are treated well. Don’t talk about yourself the whole time and avoid getting into heated debates (save those for after dinner, especially if there are many people present). You’re all there for a good reason, so chill out and enjoy.
