Chefs from the city’s top restaurants gather together every year at one of summer’s most unforgettable bashes: Boston magazine’s Best of Boston event. On Thursday, July 18th, join them to celebrate with 20 “Best Of” winners (past and present) including Bar Mezzana, Citrus & Salt, Eastern Standard, Fox & the Knife, Grill 23 & Bar, Island Creek Oyster Bar, Lincoln Tavern & Restaurant, The Salty Pig, Shore Leave, The Smoke Shop, The Table at Season to Taste, Terra, Tiger Mama, UNI and Whaling in Oklahoma.

You can sample morsels from all of the fabulous spots listed above while enjoying entertainment from violinist Mei Ohara and three DJs — J-Wall, Frank White and Ryan Brown — throughout the night. There’ll be tons of craft cocktails, brews from local beermakers and sommelier-approved wines on which to sip. Best of all? A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales go towards the Emerald Necklace Conservancy, a nonprofit that protects the parks of Boston (yay for greenery!). Snag your spot for $149 (plus a few processing fees). Get ’em before they’re gone.
