Monaco Gala: It was a fantastic evening at New York City’s elegant University Club last month when the Principality of Monaco hosted a Monegasque-inspired Gala Dinner prepared by Chef Marcel Ravin, executive chef of The Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort and Robert Bagli, executive chef of The University Club of New York.
