CBID hosted its 39th Annual Dinner on Sunday, May 18th, at The Montauk Club in Park Slope. The room was packed, we had to add more tables than ever this year, and a great time was had by all!! Our five honorees were Hon. Joan Millman (NYS Assembly, 52nd District), Hon. Cesar Perales (Former Deputy Mayor; Founder, Puerto Rican Legal Defense Fund), Ms. Bhairavi Desai (NYC Taxi Workers' Alliance), Mr. Josh Skaller (former President of CBID and City Council candidate, 39th District), and the Park Slope Food Coop. Oh, yes! This year's Tarnished Fork winner was City Council Speaker Christine Quinn! Read about a dubious distinction on the NY Daily News blog. You can also read blogger Mole333's coverage of the evening here. Our thanks go to Amy Greer for these photographs. More photos and details of the event will follow.
