As far as thrift shops go, Housing Works has always had great taste. At its many retail outlets throughout the city, midcentury modern furnishings rub shoulders with second hand Philip Lim jackets and Marc by Marc Jacobs bags. On Monday, the organization will host its fourth annual chef’s tasting benefit at the Housing Works SoHo bookstore, where high profile chefs like Joe Tarasco from Maialino and Brian Yurko from Saxon + Parole provide ample opportunity to put your money where your mouth is: all proceeds benefit Housing Works’ efforts to end AIDS and homelessness.
Housing Works Taste of Home Monday, March 11 126 Crosby Street 7PM-9PM (VIP entry 6PM) General Admission: $100; VIP Admission: $250 Buy tickets here: housingworks.org
