Mayor Frankel Announces Winner of Northwood Village Chef's Challenge


Hundreds of people come out to enjoy the free Art & Wine Promenade on Friday, February 25th featuring the Northwood Village Chef’s Challenge. Five restaurants located in Northwood Village participated in the friendly competition by showcasing a special dish.

Attendees enjoyed delicious samplings from China Beach Bistro, Fresh Catch Seafood, Jade Kitchen, Malakor Thai Café and Supe’s Jamaican Restaurant and then voted for their favorite. Mayor Lois Frankel and Commissioner Jeri Muoio enjoyed the event and were pleased to announce the winner, Chef Noopy from Malakor Thai Café.

“This was a fun event showcasing the unique feel of Northwood Village.” said Mayor Lois Frankel. “This once blighted neighborhood has transformed into a vibrant ‘SoHo-like’ business district.”

In addition to the Chef’s Challenge, everyone also enjoyed the brand new Sip N’ Sweets area featuring complimentary dessert wines and cupcakes from Hello Cupcake and experiencing a little taste of Paris in their own backyard by visiting “Paris in Northwood” at Something Lively.

The Art & Wine Promenade is a monthly event free to the public and is held on the last Friday of every month from 6-10pm. For more information about the event or Northwood Village, go to www.NorthWoodVillage.org.
