Smithtown Cooks At Annual Long Island Hospitality Ball

Smithtown Represents at the 5^th Annual Long Island Hospitality Ball

By Nancy Vallarella of What’s Cookin’? – Smithtown

The 2015 Long Island Hospitality Ball held on the evening of June 1, 2015 at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, was tremendously successful due to the generosity of many Long Island individuals and hospitality businesses. Early projections estimate nearly half of a million dollars were raised for the Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund. The Fund has made possible research grants totaling over 4.5 million dollars to Stony Brook Medicine.

Alec and Billy Baldwin were on board to host and kicked off the evening.  Even with a last minute move indoors due to the evening’s inclement weather numerous entertainers, culinary and spirit businesses performed for and served an estimated 3,000 attendees. Many were challenged to see, taste and enjoy all that was available even over a five and a half hour period.

If you missed attending Monday night’s event, you could experience the tastes and sounds here in Smithtown.  Among the many featured restaurants at the 5^th annual LIHB were Andrea’s 25, Ciao Baby, H20, Insignia Prime Steak and Sushi, Ragazzi Italian Kitchen & Bar and the Watermill Caterers.
