Where are you having brunch today? Cattivella is hosting a benefit for Ukraine relief......if you can still get a seat.
, the Italian restaurant in Central Park owned by Else Wiggins, who funded the project herself after heading up the kitchen at Panzano for over a decade. Although the restaurant briefly offered brunch when it first opened, at the time it proved a difficult sell in the still up-and-coming neighborhood.
On April 16, Wiggins and her staffers, who have been busy perfecting the art of the omelet, will launch a new brunch menu, available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The inaugural brunch will also be a fundraiser for Ukraine, with 10 percent of the proceeds going to, the José Andrés-led organization that is on the front lines, helping to feed Ukrainian refugees.
"Politically, the world has me shaken up. It scares me," she admits."I politically believe that Putin is part of the disinformation that's here, and we've got to stop it. ... I was literally, in the beginning [of the attack on Ukraine], like, 'I'm gonna go fight.' I'm scrappy. I was raised up hunting. I'm gonna fight."
Wiggins also feels totally confident in her team, which is supportive of her upcoming trip and ready to bring her brunch vision to life without her on site. The new menu includes a lineup of omelets, of course."I just love tender eggs, French style," she says."The secret of training these guys is that the eggs do go into a hot pan, but then you cut that off and you're shaking, shaking until it sets. That way the egg is so tender; there's no brown.
