The 22nd Annual ARTWALK NY (a fundraiser supporting the Coalition for the Homeless, NYC) was held on Thursday, November 3rd at the Metropolitan Pavilion ,125 West 18th Street. Doors opened at 6:30 p.m. and lasted until 11p.m. The evening included a cocktail mixer for the art lovers of New York City and included passed appetizers as attendees bid on the silent auction artworks. Between 8:30 and 9 p.m. the crowd moved into the main seated auction auditorium, where 10 top level artworks were sold for very "reasonable prices" for the buyers, and since the art was all donated, raising major funds the "Coalition for the Homeless." The evening ended with passed desserts and cocktails as the final bids were placed on the many silent auction artworks.

• Strips of tuna rolled and coated in herb dust.
• Strips of roasted fillet mignon were also rolled to form a small tower shape.
• Small hearts of romaine lettuce, loaded with cheese and herbs.
• Squares of bacon and Romano cheese pizzas.
• Tiny puffed cheese balloons filled with a liquid cheese and macaroni puree.
• House made rice flakes supported an eggplant and tomato mixture.

This is by far one of the best places to hang with friends, have great drinks (amazing beer selection), eat some great food, including the great lunch I had there. Prices at San Francisco venues are very reasonable and the pizza was awesome.
