Lots of launchs this October. I am excited to share these new locations, products and experiences now available in NYC.
Le Bar Penelope
I checked out the very chic, new, sure to be hotspot, Le Bar Penelope by Avra Hospitality group. A veer off their typical Greek and Mediterranean fare, the menu here will be elevated American and Chinese fare. Adorned in velvet green drapes, animal print accents, and plenty of palm trees the vibe is eclectic and very trendy.
Chile Wine Fest
Pisco Chile and the Chilean Tourism Board sponsored a wonderful evening showcasing the best of Chile’s premium wines, cuisine, and culture. With over 150 wines to taste, interacting with winemakers and industry professionals, Pisco sour offering and cocktail masterclasses, and wine masterclasses for industry time slot including: Chilean wines: “Carmenere & Volcanic Influence” by Gonzalo Cárcamo from Viña La Rosa, “Terroir IS Chile” by Pedro Parra from Pedro Parra & Familia Winery, and “Cool Climate Artisanal Volcanic Wines from the Extreme South of Chile” by Carlos De Carlos, founder of Baettig Vinos. It was truly a well curated and exceptional evening.

For the first time ever, Dove has released a special limited edition holiday collection. A fine fashion debut during a lovely and tasteful holiday winter wonderland lodge with a cruise around Manhattan. Festive cocktails, homey holiday dishes and of course the delicious holiday scents. The goal was to include the classic scents that excite the customer during the holiday season with the care they come to know and expect from the brand. Some scents include:

The Hudson Club is the latest and greatest from hospitality group Hudson Street hospitality. The goal with this new venture was to pay homage to vintage New York, with an aesthetic that is inviting and familiar but sophisticated and sexy. With a top tier mixology lineup and delicious offerings from Executive Chef John DeLucie it is sure to be midtown’s new hotspot. The Hudson Club, who caters to an elevated clientele, had a very “happening” party to soft launch the location.

Elsie Rooftop has been a midtown and theater district staple, however the newly launched penthouse version is the new chic location with so much potential for exceptional events. The Gatsby theme experience to launch the event was such an incredible evening of casino games, prohibition craft cocktail classes, and live performances.
