"The 14th Annual Winter's Eve promises to light up the Upper West Side with holiday cheer, joy and excitement for our neighbors and visitors, families and grandparents, students and professionals, arts lovers, foodies and shoppers. This year, we are honored to support and collaborate with The Actors Fund. A number of restaurants will be donating a portion of proceeds from culinary tastings towards their nationwide efforts and programs that help all professionals in performing arts and entertainment."
