More than 375 women -- leaders of industry, media, government, and the arts -- attended the Citymeals-on-Wheels 27th Annual "Power Lunch for Women" at The Plaza Hotel on November 22, 2013. This by- invitation-only benefit, emceed by Katie Couric, is raised enough to provide more than 171,000 meals for New York's frail homebound aged. BroadwayWorld was there for the special event and you can check out complete coverage below!

Cyndi Lauper, award-winning singer, songwriter and actress, performed at the Lunch. Among this year's lunching ladies were Nina Arianda, Cécilia Attias, Jennifer Baum, Aliyyah Baylor, Samantha Boardman, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Bobbi Brown, Sharon Bush, Mary Higgins Clark, Joan Ganz Cooney, Dana Cowin, Laura Day, Elisabeth de Kergorlay, Patricia Duff, Dasha Epstein, Tovah Feldshuh, Ruth Finley, Anne Fulenwider, Linda Gibbs, Kathie Lee Gifford, Trish Goff, Gael Greene, Donna Hanover, Caroline Hirsch, Jenny Holzer, Dana Ivey, Harriette Rose Katz, Rikki Klieman, Alexandra Lebenthal, Stephanie March, Margo MacNabb Nederlander, Debra Messing, Liz Neumark, Norah O'Donnell, Bernadette Peters, Ruth Reichl, Deborah Roberts, Betty Rollin, Brooke Shields, Silda Wall Spitzer, Christina Steinbrenner, Gloria Steinem, Marcy Syms, Diana Taylor, Laurie Tisch, Lizzie Tisch, Barbara Tober, Kathleen Turner, Lillian Vernon, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Patricia Wexler, Audrey Wilf and Leslie Ziff, among others.

A few adventurous men are allowed the privilege of lunching with these powerful and famous women for an admission price of $10,000. This year's "$10K Men" who will attend the Lunch include Michel Bernardaud, Joseph Cohen, Bill Fischer, Robert S. Grimes, Rich Krawiec, Daniel Levin, Michael Lynne, Craig Pfeiffer, John Pomerantz, Michel Roux, John Shapiro, Bob Shaye, Myron Stein, Hal Steinbrenner, Jonathan Tisch and Steven Zavagli.

One hundred percent of the money raised from ticket sales at Power Lunch, and all Citymeals' events, goes to the preparation and delivery of nutritious meals to homebound elderly in the five boroughs of New York City.
