Chefs Daniel Boulud and Marco Moreira turned Wednesday's book launch for Dining in New York City into a fund-raiser for Citymeals-on-Wheels. Held at the new condominium 15 Union Square West, the event showcased 13 of the 40 restaurants featured in the guide—as well as the venue itself—and more than 300 guests raised an estimated $30,000 while sampling dishes from such restaurants as Per Se, Nobu, Boulud’s Daniel, and Moreira’s Tocqueville and 15 East.

“This is an event that benefits everyone,” said Jan Bartelsman, the photographer and publisher of the guide. “We’re raising a lot of money for Citymeals and displaying the space, which is good for the developer. The chefs get to showcase their food, and I get to showcase my book.” Bartelsman was encouraged by Moreira and Boulud to introduce the guide with an event to benefit a charity that has been serving some of the city’s neediest residents for 28 years.
