Attendees of the Tribeca Film Festival arrived to a trendy new restaurant called China Blue (located at 135 Watts Street) late Sunday night for an after party for the film “In Your Eyes”, directed by Brin Hill and written by Joss Whedon, who also serves as executive producer. Some of the stars of the film, including Zoe Kazan and Michael Feuerstein as well as director Hill chatted with guests at the event while enjoying signature cocktails courtesy of Bombay Sapphire Gin.
The bartenders put a different spin on the traditional gin and tonic with the Gin & Tonic Reimagined, using Bombay Sapphire East and Fevertree tonic. This was a big hit during the evening, as I chatted with a few patrons who enjoyed the unique taste of Bombay Sapphire East, a new product launched three years ago. It features two additional botanicals, lemongrass and black peppercorns to combine with the 10 that are in the original Bombay Sapphire. The additional botanicals were added to counteract the sweetness of American tonic water.
The first drink I sampled was called Sapphire Peppered Peach Tea Collins, and is a fresh and exciting take on the classic Tom Collins cocktail. This refreshing drink, which is a great summertime drink to enjoy on a rooftop in New York City, included the original Bombay Sapphire with lemon juice, simple syrup, peach ice tea, club soda and a pinch of black pepper. The bar also featured complimentary Asahi beer, a popular Japanese brew for those who wanted to take it light on a Sunday night.
China Blue served food off of its menu and the biggest hit of the night was the Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, which seemed to disappear as soon as they emerged from the kitchen. The Shanghai Spring Rolls were also delicious, and I also enjoyed sampling the Scallion Pancakes.
When you have the opportunity, sit down and order a Gin and Tonic Reimagined with Bombay Sapphire East or try it neat or on the rocks. The drink and the gin itself are fresh takes on old classics, and, if you are in Tribeca, why not do it at China Blue over dinner or appetizers? It is a great way to enjoy an evening in New York City.
Always remember to drink responsibly!

Burton launched its 2013 collection at the Angel Orensanz Foundation on September 13. This launch was an all-around event that started with people filing into the church like venue where they were treated to food and drinks. As people ate DJ Roofeeo did his thing on the ones and twos creating an energy that could be felt for the remainder of the evening. As the music played people mingled and took pictures in front of a Burton backdrop.
Any time you arrive at a gathering an are greeted by women in masks and a shirtless man in a hoood, chances are you are in for a wild night. Approaching the entry of the temporary “Hotel Skovgaard he first thing we notice was the ominous hooded figure beckoning us inward. His shirtless frame stood out in the night sky amid the sea of well dresses party goers. Upon entry the dimly lit foggy room was devoid of furniture and held only a few portraits on the walls as well as several small podiums which held the latest footwear from the Skovgaard collection. Lead designer and namesake Camille Skovgaard has designed shoes for royalty, pop stars and actresses all over the world. Her shoes have been worn by Halle Berry and Kristen stewart to name a few. The Denmark native has also won several awards for her considerable talents. She is also one of the precious few to have sold a collection while still in school. There are very few words that adequately describe the unique aestetic of Skovgaard shoes. From stilettos to flats she creates wearable art.
