SUMMARY:Carmine's Kitchen Takeover at the Meadowlands
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Carmine’s NYC at the Meadowlands in honor of the late\, great Carmine Abbatiello!\nThis event is a one-night celebration that brings Carmine’s signature abundant\, family-style favorites to the Meadowlands community\, while honoring Carmine Abbatiello. Carmine’s was named in his honor by restaurateur Arthur J. Cutler —making this partnership and tribute especially meaningful for fans and guests.   \nThe Buffet is a display of Carmine’s favorites: \n\nCaesar Salad\nSpaghetti & Meatballs\nGuest Favorite – Chicken Parm\nTiramisu\n\nDinner is $54.95 plus tax and gratuity ($70.13 total) and includes a live racing program. \nTickets \nA portion of the proceeds ($20 per ticket) will be donated to the Purple Haze Adoption Program – created to ensure that retired\nStandardbred horses find a second career. Alicart/Carmine’s has generously donated the food for this one-time event. \nThe Meadowlands will also have a tribute to Abbatiello and speak to some of his family and friends throughout the evening. \nHorsemen and Trotters members looking to dine in Trotters can call 201-460-4079. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Carmine Abbatiello \nHall of Fame driver Carmine Abbatiello\, one of harness racing’s most successful and popular drivers throughout a career that spanned more than four decades\, passed away Tuesday (Jan. 27)\, his family announced. He was 89.\nMr. Abbatiello\, who drove in his first race in 1956\, was a fixture on the New York-New Jersey circuits\, and over the years captured numerous driving titles in the region – most notably a combined total of nearly 20 at Roosevelt and Yonkers. He attended high school on Staten Island and from there worked eight years with his brother Anthony\, another Hall of Famer\, before going on his own in 1964.\nIn 1959\, Mr. Abbatiello tied for the driving title at Freehold Raceway before winning multiple crowns there in the early 1960s. He also was a driving champion at Monticello Raceway during the early days of his career.\nMr. Abbatiello enjoyed his first top-25 finish in the national driver standings in 1962\, with his 83 victories ranking No. 21. He ranked in the top 20 the next four seasons before breaking out in 1968 with 237 triumphs and $854\,482 in purses to finish No. 3 and No. 6\, respectively\, in those categories in the national standings.\nMr. Abbatiello led the sport in purses in 1975 ($2.27 million) and again in 1978 ($3.34 million)\, when he shared Harness Tracks of America’s Driver of the Year Award with Herve Filion. In addition\, Mr. Abbatiello ranked among the top five in purses on 11 other occasions. He had a total of nine years among the top-five winningest drivers\, including second-place finishes in 1970 (with 294 victories)\, 1978 (387) and 1979 (393).\nHis final year with more than 1\,000 drives came in 1989. At the end of that season\, Mr. Abbatiello ranked No. 2 all-time in wins\, with 6\,944\, and No. 4 in purses\, with nearly $47.7 million. He ended his career with 7\,170 victories and $50.3 million in purses.\nKnown as “The Red Man” because of his bright red driving colors\, Mr. Abbatiello was elected to the Harness Racing Hall of Fame in 1985. Among other accolades\, he received Harness Horsemen International’s Man of the Year Award in 1982\, the same year he was feted with Carmine Abbatiello Night at Roosevelt Raceway – only the second driver\, after Billy Haughton – to receive the honor.\nSuch was Mr. Abbatiello’s popularity that he appeared in a beer commercial and had a restaurant – the famed Carmine’s in New York City\, launched by Arthur J. Cutler – named in his honor. \n  \nTickets \n
