The Illy Coffee Kick Off Party

Macaroni and Cheese in mini portions

The New York Wine and Food Festival officially starts tonight but the kick off party sponsored by Illy Coffee was held last night in MPD. In a buzzy environment and under the influence of espresso martinis and pinot grigios, guests browsed Claire Robinson's new cookbook and even talked to her, tasted the delightful canapes all from Robinson's recipes and welcomed for another year the Illy good looking guys! During the following four days and while the NYWFF lasts, you can have an Illy coffee at their Authentic City Illy Lounge (Hudson 632, open from 11am to 10pm) while admiring exotic beauty...
