Simple, right? Of course, the seasonal flavors and aromas are anything but. This Sunday, July 28, Chef Cruz Goler of <a title=\"Lupa\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luparestaurant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lupa Osteria Romana<\/a> teams with Chef Frank Langello of <a title=\"Babbo NYC\" href=\"http:\/\/www.babbonyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Babbo<\/a>, creating a kitchen super group in the <a title=\"The New York Botanical Garden\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\">NYBG<\/a>&#8216;s own <a title=\"Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/gardens\/family-garden\/\">Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If Mozzarella di Bufala, marinated strip steak, pistachio olive oil cake, and the fresh, kaleidoscopic flavors created by two of New York&#8217;s best restaurants pique your appetite, this <a title=\"NYBG -- Priceless NY\" href=\"https:\/\/www.priceless.com\/newyork\/offer\/Kids-family-activity-food-Mario-Batali-NYBG-New-York-cook?productNumber=3172&amp;preview=&amp;cid=76038\" target=\"_blank\">MasterCard<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Priceless event<\/a> isn&#8217;t something you&#8217;ll settle for missing.<\/p>\n<p>The three-course, family-style meal doesn&#8217;t skimp, providing expertly-paired wines, sparkling Italian water, and all the fixings necessary for a picture perfect night around the table. But it wouldn&#8217;t be a proper Garden event without some extra variety, so we&#8217;ve gone ahead and flushed out the evening with a romp in the Family Garden. Expect plenty of hands-on gardening crafts and activities to keep the little ones occupied, while we encourage adults to get their hands dirty, too. We&#8217;re also bookending the dinner service with cooking demonstrations by Mario&#8217;s Chefs, giving you a glimpse into the expertise that creates each gourmet recipe. Even better, you&#8217;ll be able to ask them questions as they go!<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<a title=\"NYBG -- Priceless NY\" href=\"https:\/\/www.priceless.com\/newyork\/offer\/Kids-family-activity-food-Mario-Batali-NYBG-New-York-cook?productNumber=3172&amp;preview=&amp;cid=76038\" target=\"_blank\">There are still some tickets left<\/a> for this July&#8217;s Family Dinner, and while we&#8217;d love it if everyone could join us for an intimate evening of outdoor eats, space is limited.
