This year’s Spring Gala (Garden of Eden)took place at
Cipriani 42nd Street.
The Lenox Hill Neighborhood House
was thrilled to
honor longtime Board member and
Neighborhood House supporter Juan Sabater
for his outstanding
contributions. The Spring Gala, sponsored by
VERANDA magazine, featured table tops
individually decorated by interior designers,
making it a unique
and stunning event.
Lenox Hill Neighborhood House is
one of New York’s
premier nonprofit organizations,
begun 120 years ago.
I arrived early this year. Cipriani 42nd Street is a grand venue for large, sophisticated events. The “Garden of Eden” table displays were created by well known interior designers each providing their own interpretation to the theme. More than 600 guests who would arrive within the next hour to dine at decorated round tables adorned with magnificent flowers, snakes, apples, semi-nude models (Adam and Eve) and lush green leaves with wilderness branches. There was also a dance floor in the 13,000 sq. ft. party room.
Before my camera battery expired, I spotted a few design celebrities starting to arrive; Michael McGraw, Stacey Holston Bewkes, Tamara Stephenson, Jonathan Legate, Byron James-Rodrigues, Becki Vicars, Robin Baron, Harry Heissmann, Christina Juarez, Antonino Buzzetta and Julie Schuster.
