Blythedale Children's Hospital: Restaurant 42 Continues Chef's Tasting Menu Benefit for BCH

Restaurant 42 Continues Chef's Tasting Menu Benefit for BCH

42, Westchester’s stunning restaurant perched atop The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester, has announced it is continuing its popular “Chef’s Tasting Menus” that also benefit Blythedale Children’s Hospital. A donation of $10 is made to the Valhalla hospital for each tasting menu served. The extraordinary promotion has already raised more than $3,000 for Blythedale.

Both the five-course and seven-course tasting menus consist of some of Chef Anthony Goncalves’ favorites from the a la carte menu, and some of his new creations.   “We are constantly updating our menu with new ingredients, using new techniques to create dishes or updating classic techniques with a new twist,” said Goncalves. “Not only can we can share these experiences with our guests, but at the same time we can also provide support to a wonderful local organization. I am inspired by the dedication and perseverance of Blythedale's patients, staff and supporters; and feel it is more important than ever to give to those in need."

The tasting menu includes such delicacies as Bluefin Tuna Cru, Smoked Scallop, Foie Gras served with apple butter, apple chutney, bacon, pacen brittle and five-spice gingerbread, and many more mouth-watering offerings.

“We are so grateful to Anthony and everyone at Restaurant 42 for making our hospital the beneficiary of this exciting promotion,” said Betsy Bowman, Chief Development Office for Blythedale Children’s Hospital. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us and we’re so pleased to be associated with one of Westchester’s top dining destinations.”
 
In addition to the spectacular panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and lower Hudson Valley for which 42 has become famous, guests can also enjoy a market special four-course menu, priced at $42, as well as lighter fare and live music with local jazz talent on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
 
The five-course “Chef’s Tasting Menu” is $65 per person, and a wine pairing is available for an extra $30. The seven-course menu is $85 per person, with a wine pairing for an additional $42. Taxes and gratuities are not included.
