Antiques & Fine Art at the Armory

Wednesday, December 7, 2005

The Opening Night Preview party for Antiques & Fine Art at the Armory was successful in raising $100,000 for The Boys’ Club of New York on Wednesday, December 7th. Over 500 guests attended the glamorous event held at The Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Avenue at 67th Street, all of who enjoyed the special Chefs’ Tastings, which were set up on tables between the rows of fabulous antiques and gorgeous fine art. Some of the delicious offerings included The Central Park Boathouse’s crab-cakes, where a large crowd formed a line. Other restaurants that served up their specialties included, Aureole, Fiamma, One If By Land, Two If By Sea, Park Avenue Café, and Payard who helped guests round out their palates with bite-sized chocolates. However, if you were not a chocolate fan, you were able to make a bid on one of the magnificent homemade Ginger Bread Houses featured in the silent auction.
