STREETS International is an innovative social enterprise initiative with the purpose of developing and operating sustainable programs for street kids and disadvantaged youth in Southeast Asia and throughout the world. Held at The Astor Center, acclaimed chefs such as James Beard winner Jamie Bissonnette from Toro NYC, Anita Lo from Annisa, Daniel Boulud from DBGB, Michael Chernow and Daniel Holzman from The Meatball Shop, and Jean-Paul Bourgeois from Blue Smoke, among others, served their interpretation of Southeast Asian street foods complimented by signature cocktails throughout the evening. A short documentary about the program and the kids it benefits in Vietnam was shown, and guests participated in a silent auction featuring such prizes such as a 14-day trip to Vietnam, private cooking lessons, and rare vintage wines.
