Kellogg's Diner pastry chef Jackie Carnesi is offering a Filipino peppermint baked Alaska in a monthlong collaboration with Abi Balingit, with signed copies of Mayumu available. Chef Tara Monosod and Eric Valdez present a six-course Unapologetically Filipino dinner December 7–8 for $135. I Cavallini is open seven nights at 284 Grand Street.
