The Columbus Avenue Business Improvement District (BID) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, and one of New York City’s official business districts. The area, from West 67th Street to West 82nd Street, is a continuous stretch of shops and restaurants, including the American Museum of Natural History. All commercial properties within the area are members of the BID. Our focus is on making our area a superb public space, so that business thrives and the quality of life for visitors and those living in the area is enhanced.

This event is in celebration of all the prominent chefs who have flocked to the Upper West Side in recent years. All funds raised will be dedicated to neighborhood beautification projects. In 2010, we donated funds to the schools housed within the I.S.44 campus (Anderson School, Computer School, West Prep Academy and Intermediate School 44) to beautify their school cafeteria and kitchen.
