This May, the Greenburgh Public Library Foundation hosted their annual Books & Cooks, a “literary feast” combining some of the area’s best restaurants (and beverages!) with local authors. IntoxiKate was proud to be this year’s media sponsor, promoting the event and coordinating with the incredible food and beverage sponsors who so graciously donated to the event. (Pictured above is the tuna tartare from Village Social in Mount Kisco.)
Guests received the first ever IntoxiKate Black Card, giving them an all-access pass to discounts at places like Chutney Masala, Penny Lick Ice Cream, Hastings Tea, Broken Bow Brewery, RiverMarket Bar + Kitchen and Recologie’s Vistro Café.
IntoxiKate also created the event’s first ever interactive journal, designed to showcase the sponsors, partners and collaborators in a new and innovative way. Viewers can connect digitally with websites and social media outlets to learn more about their favorite vendors. To view the journal, please click here.
Below is a quick photo recap of the event. For more event photos, visit the IntoxiKate: Living Life Deliciously Facebook page or the Books & Cooks Event Facebook Page.
Wait a minute? Is this Burger Bash? Nooo… that’s next week. But Restaurant Sponsor RiverMarket Bar + Kitchen (Tarrytown) certainly has a contender with these mini lamb sliders. They paired this with a duo of “milk and cookies” (see below).
Guests enjoy a sweet dessert from Hudson Grille (White Plains).
Chutney Masala (Irvington) offered dahi aloo paapdi—a cold layered combination of semolina crisps, savory yogurt, spiced potato and chickpeas and tangy chutneys.
Spiked Seltzer, available in orange, grapefruit and lime, and The Seeker Wines joined Broken Bow Brewery, Bonjo Coffee and Hastings Tea as the beverage sponsors for the evening.
Recologie’s Vistro Café offered a few dishes to sample, including a few sweet treats.
Chef Eric Korn, of Good-Life Gourmet, helped raise money during the live auction, offering a special dinner for eight at his new restaurant (name coming soon) on Main Street in Irvington.
Penny Lick Ice Cream Company‘s return to nostalgic flavors wooed guests (as did her tasty ice cream root beer floats!).
