There's No Business Like Snow Business at the Yelp Snow Ball (PHOTOS)

The event, which benefited the NYC Coalition Against Hunger was a match made in heaven; local eateries served an avalanche of samples to the people who love to eat and talk about eating.

'Tis the season of giving, and what better way to feed the less fortunate than by stuffing yourself? Last night, Yelp hosted a foodie's dream come true -- more than 2,500 Yelpers braved the cold to enjoy the Snow Ball at the 69th Regiment Armory on 26th and Lexington, NYC. The event, which benefited NYC Coalition Against Hunger, was a match made in heaven; local eateries served an avalanche of samples to the people who love to eat and talk about eating.

While the event didn't feel like much of a ball (it was a mishmash of Yelpers dressed to impress and Yelp staff dressed as reindeer) or feature any snow, the Regiment Armory was packed with vendors, photobooths, hand massages, Wii bowling, and live music. The event raised more than $4,800 for charity.
