As we walked towards the Carltun located in beautiful Eishenhower Park, we were graciously welcomed by the sounds of violins and a cello. This set the stage for the 14th Annual Culinary Delights. This event was hosted by the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce to support America's Vet Dogs "Veteran's K-9 Corp", Kiwanis Club of East Meadow "Kamp Kiwanis" , Nassau/Suffolk Autism Society and Nassau University Medical Center Pediatric Department. Attendees were treated to a night filled with delightful music and delicious cuisine from local restaurants, eateries and bakeries.

Guests were served buffet-style by East Meadow's finest restaurants including Borrelli's, Empress Diner, Sal's Lunchbox, Pietro's, and The Carltun who served their most exquisite dishes.

To satisfy guests' sweet tooth, several vendors including All American Ice Cream, Philadelphia Pretzel Factory and Valencia Bakery were there to serve desserts that had us going back for seconds!

The night drew to a conclusion with a raffle of lovely prizes. For it's 14th consecutive year, Culinary Delights continues to be an inspiring fundraiser that lends a helping hand to various charitable organizations.
