A Worldwide Movement

"Rami Zurayk, a founder of Slow Food’s Beirut chapter, will attend a Lebanese dinner on June 19 at 6:30 p.m. at Ilili, 236 Fifth Avenue (27th Street). Wines from Paumanok Vineyards in Aquebogue, N.Y., and the Massaya winery of Lebanon will be poured. Tickets, $90 for Slow Food members, $100 for others, will benefit the Slow Food Harvest Time program in New York schools and a program at the American University in Beirut that supports small farms: (212) 481-1840. " (Thanks Philippe)
