Our highly anticipated Spring Into Summer Rooftop Reception proved to be a huge success. A potpourri of NY society took over two adjacent penthouses at the luxurious AKA Luxury Boutique Hotel and Residences for an outstanding evening of blissful revelry atop the city’s skyline. Four stunning wrap-around terraces each boasting its own fireplace—adding even more heat to the hot bash—and plush couches with candle-lit ambiance created the perfect setting for sipping Oval Vodka cocktails, especially the delicious signature Hampton Sheet Breeze (which was created for the party), while mingling with the likes of Charles Gargano, Pilar Rossi (who fabulously styled our own Joan Jedell), Margo and John Catsimatidis, Mario Buatta, Loreen Arbus, CeCe and Lee Black, Bruce Blakeman and Dr. Gervaise Gerstner, Bonnie Comley and Stewart Lane, Joanna Verdone of Splendid Affairs, Sheri Jedell and Scott Weiner, Cornelia and Marty Bregman, Nino Vendome, Don Epstein, Tom Gates, John Mahdessian, Adrienne and Jerry Cohen, Jean Shafiroff, and Lee Mellis, among others.

Providing the fusion of the long-term comfort of a luxe apartment with the style and service of an intimate hotel, our trendy hosts AKA and VP of sales Noel Hernandez couldn’t have been more perfect for the blowout shindig. Dazzling Gayle Grenadier and Catwalk jewelry, to-die-for NOA Watch Company pieces, and mod Perf Go Green products were wonderful complements to the ideal locale and they turned out to be all the rage, with a percentage of sales benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
