“If music be the food of love, play on.” And rock out. Tonight, food and music lovers will get their fill of both. At Midnight Music and Munchies, top chefs who have been featured on dailycandy.com will create late night treats in unusual twists and daring combinations. To wash it down, New York’s most sought-after bartenders will create custom cocktails that reflect the evening’s rock-out mood – and many will be on hand to shake them up. And, finally, a this-never-happens treat: a rare, musical appearance by Tom Colicchio, who will play a set with downtown band Milton. Invite your gang. Make it a night. Proceeds benefit Share our Strength and the Food Bank for New York City.
