http://www.newyorkcares.org/events/winters-eve-lincoln-square On Monday, December 2, 2013 the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District and presenting sponsor Time Warner will host the Fourteenth Annual Winter's Eve at Lincoln Square - New York's largest holiday festival - which will feature FREE live entertainment, food tastings from over 30 local eateries at nominal cost, and family fun along Broadway from Time Warner Center to 68th Street. Starting at 5:30pm in Dante Park, Tony Award-winning, Broadway legend Brian Stokes Mitchell will help light the Upper West Side's Holiday Tree. This year's 35 foot Norway Spruce and lighting have been made possible by generous local restaurateur P.J. Clarke's. Old-fashioned silver glass glitter ornaments have been designed by Wendy Addison and Tinsel Trading and the tree will be installed by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. Brian Stokes Mitchell will be joined by Rosie's Theater Kids and WABC-TV's Sade Baderinwa, who will lead the countdown. Also at Dante Park's stage will be Frank London's Klezmer Brass All-stars and Bond Street Theatre's Shinbone Alley Stilt Band ensuring an exciting evening for the whole family. The streets, sidewalks, and public spaces will come alive with free music, children's performances and food tastings at three outdoor venues: Time Warner Center, East Broadway and Richard Tucker Park. The food tastings will feature flavors from over 30 different eateries including Atlantic Grill, Rosa Mexicano, The Smith, Bar Boulud, Boulud Sud, MASA & Bar MASA, Asiate, Lincoln Ristorante, American Table Cafe and Bar, P.J. Clarke's and many others. Admission to Winter’s Eve is free, but event attendees are encouraged to bring and donate gently used or new coats of all sizes to Dante Park at 63rd Street and Broadway as part of the 25th Annual New York Cares Coat Drive. Other locations for dropping off coats on the night of Winter’s Eve will be posted here as the event approaches.
