Some Special Chicken Salad
Through July 12, Num Pang sandwich shops, at 21 East 12th Street and 140 East 41st Street, will serve a special sandwich devised by Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Dan Kluger: chicken salad with Thai basil and chili mayonnaise on a semolina baguette. It is $9.25, with $6 being donated to the Edible Schoolyard, which helps improve children’s eating habits, and the Double H Ranch, a camp in the Adirondacks for children with life-threatening illnesses.
