It was a glitzy, glamorous night last Tuesday on April 18, 2017 as the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House Gala hosted their annual black-tie fete.  The event is hosted each year at the historic, former bank in Grand Central Station, now Cipriani 42.  The space sets the tone with its gorgeous architecture and soaring ceilings.  Renowned interior designers and artists from all over the United States are invited to decorate a table and using the annual theme as their guide.  This year, 40 tables were turned out in the "All That Glitters" theme showing extravagant and creative designs.  

While I did not meet John Manice, long-time Lenox Hill Neighborhood House Board Member; I did have the opportunity to chat with renowned interior designer and Design Committee leader Geoffrey Bradfield, one of the two people honored during the evening.

Take a look at my recap of the fabulously designed tablescapes, each uniquely different, but truly inspired by this year's theme. While my focus was on the tables, I did manage to highlight a few designers and supporters.

Let the magic continue...please enjoy the overview.  I do hope you'll plan to attend the gala in 2018, and not only to support this wonderful neighborhood house, but in support of the talented design community, our dear designer friends and associates!
