The third annual Cook. Eat. Drink. Live., a food and wine event benefiting Action Against Hunger, transpired this weekend at The Tunnel/la.venue. Several local restaurants and specialty food and beverage purveyors were on hand to present samples of their most appetizing products. The event was crowded with individuals looking to witness demonstrations by New York's culinary elite (Cook.), indulge in gourmet foods (Eat.), discover new cocktails and wines (Drink.), and experience an afternoon in one of Manhattan's trendiest venues (Live.).
