Here's an invitation to a "garden party" sponsored by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center :

Join us at our 26th annual Garden Party - the only LGBT tasting event in the country benefiting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center. This year we celebrate the Center with more than 30 restaurants, an open bar and dancing under the stars!
Once again, we are thrilled to welcome back Gourmet Editor-in-Chief Ruth Reichl as our Event Chair. And we will be returning to Pier 54 with lots of tasty and delicious food from some of New York's finest and greatest culinary destinations.

Garden Party is NYC's official kick-off to Pride Week, raising much-needed funds that allow the Center to keep its doors open 365 days a year. Most importantly, the money raised at Garden Party allows the Center to build and support our community through advocacy, culture and health programs, as well as meeting and conference services.
