With summer now in full swing, Zabar’s and zabars.com announces a special partnership with Lincoln Center. For another summer, Zabar’s is proud to be providing much-valued in-kind support of two series at Summer at Lincoln Center– Midsummer Night Swing and Lincoln Center Out of Doors – as Artist Hospitality Provider.
Artists performing as part of these two series will be treated to an array of gourmet food and drink backstage. We at Zabar’s are delighted to sponsor this legendary Upper West Side stalwart, bringing world class food to world class performing artists.
With Zabar’s now in its 77th year of service and Lincoln Center in its 52nd, it is a wonderful time to continue to bring these two institutions together – each a byword for excellence in their fields, and at the heart of New York City. In the words of Stanley Zabar, “I believe that Lincoln Center is integral to the city, and represents the best of the best – exactly what Zabar’s has always stood for.”
Watch a sample of this week’s performers and find out what’s coming up in this video with Bill Bragin, Producer of Midsummer Night Swing at Lincoln Center:
