Governor Andrew Cuomo & Sandra Lee Get Sweet At The New York Food & Wine Festival

by Francesca Borgognone

Lee and Cuomo

The hautest place to be over this past weekend was most definitely The New York Food & Wine Festival. Yours truly wined, dined, and had a fabulous time.

I stopped in in at Godiva’s Wine & Food Festival event, SWEET, hosted by Food Network famous face Sandra Lee.

Also in attendance? None other than Governor Cuomo, who was there to support his lady. An ecstatic Sandra Lee walked arm in arm with Andrew, introducing him to her culinary crew of chefs and foodie friends.

Lee and Cuomo were joined by other celebrities including Bobby Flay and Anne Burrell as they sampled desserts from some of the top bakeries and restaurants in the city.

The event was in honor of Godiva’s newest truffle piece Chocolate Éclair from its soon to be launched Ultimate Dessert Truffles Collection. From sultry cupcakes to sexy crème brulee, all the stops
