9th Annual CityFeast: Dining Out to Conquer Diabetes

It’s that time of year again! The Seaport District and the South End will once again join the North End for the 9th Annual CityFeast! CityFeast is a fun-filled evening hosted by ten of the most exclusive restaurants in Boston: Antico Forno, Aria Trattoria, The Gallows, Lucca, Lucia, TAMO, Taranta, Temazcal, Terramia Ristorante, and Tresca. CityFeast is pleased to recognize Mayor Thomas M. Menino this year as the event Honoree for his outstanding passion and long-time commitment to supporting CityFeast, championing city-wide health and wellness initiatives and helping to promote diabetes awareness.

Tickets include a five-course dinner with wine pairings (or tequila pairings at Temazcal) at the choice of the participating restaurant, and proceeds will benefit Joslin Diabetes Center’s High Hopes Fund, which supports the Center’s greatest needs in research, education and clinical care.

The North End’s own Carla Agrippino Gomes established this spectacular event in 2005 to show her dedication and appreciation to Joslin after her son David was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on his first birthday.  David has received care at Joslin for 22 years.
