If you’re on the east coast then you can feel my pain when I say that mother nature has not been so kind to us, especially in New York. However, thanks to our wonderful friends at Chandon, we were able to dismiss our despair for the unkind climate as they celebrated the official kick off to Summer!
Moët & Chandon founded the brand back in 1973 and was the first American sparkling wine venture established by a French Champagne house in Napa Valley. Chandon kicked off “American Summer” with the launch of their third limited-edition bottle. To commence this special occasion, the sparkling wine company has partnered with renowned New York designer Jonathan Adler to release two exclusive items available only for summer 2014.
Now that the weather has finally improved, its is finally time to take our party to the harbor. Spirit Cruises offers several daily cruises aboard the posh Spirit of New York yacht. We recently had the privilege of enjoying the season’s maiden voyage aboard the newly renovated vessel. Last week we attended a press showcase which allowed media and industry insiders the chance to experience a two hour tour complete with dinner buffet and DJ. Since our last visit with Spirit Cruises there have been several fabulous changes.
For the 3rd year in the row, The Olevolos Project hosted their annual cocktail brunch with the support of actor and philanthropist Bryan Greenberg. The brunch was in support to raise funds for The Olevolos Project, a 501c3 organization that provides educational opportunities to disadvantaged young people in the Olevolos village of Tanzania.
Gallow Green of the McKittrick Hotel, was the perfect setting for this special occasion.
Notables included Greenberg’s fiance Jamie Chung, James Lafferty, Hill Harper, Eddie K Thomas, Josh Pais, Jessica Hart, Teresa Moore, Lily Lane, Wallis Day, Kira Dikhtyar, DJ Jus Ske, DJ Mel Debarge, and many more.
Guests, through out the day munched on a gourmet brunch, specialty cocktails, and had the chance to bid on luxury items during the silent auction.
Before the brunch came to a close, Bryan Greenberg shared his gratitude with attendees; “I want to personally thank everyone who made it out to The Olevolos Project charity brunch on Saturday. It was our most successful brunch yet, we raised enough money to school 22 students for an entire year. Which includes all school fees, from private boarding, supplies, clothing, sleeping bags, along with medical expenses and various activities including a summer camp!”

The Tribeca Film Festival, sponsored by AT&T, hosted a screening for the film Summer of Blood on Thursday, April 17, 2014. The film, dubbed a ‘supernatural comedy’ by producer Max Heller, who also has a small role in the film, is a very entertaining movie that filled the theater with laughter from beginning to end. What starts off as a romantic comedy with a very eccentric character named Erik Sparrow, played by actor/director Onur Tukel, quickly morphs into the supernatural with the appearance of a blood-sucking vampire. The twists and turns that continue keep you glued to your seat while laughing at some of the off-beat musings of Erik.
