Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Celebrate at NYY Steak

ctramullas_dtnymag34

On Monday, July 28th, high-profile party-goers filed into NYY Steak for a night that was nothing short of legendary. The event celebrated DUJOUR Magazine’s newest edition, featuring cover model Chrissy Teigen.

The exclusive party began with a walk down the red carpet, where reporters and photographers waited to speak with the night’s stars: Chrissy Teigen, her heartthrob hubby John Legend, and publisher of DUJOUR Magazine, Jason Binn. Afterwards, attendees were directed upstairs for cocktails, drinks, and hors d’oeuvres. Delicacies included lobster, shrimp, steak, sliders, and bruschetta, among others. But above all, the highlight of cocktail hour was the champagne. Moët Ice impérial was the drink of choice, served straight from its unique, white bottle.

In the midst of this all, Chrissy Teigen and beau John Legend celebrated in a private balcony, set apart for special invites. DOWNTOWN had the opportunity to join the secluded celebration, where we snapped some pictures with the talented (and very sweet) John Legend himself. Teigen’s quirky sense of humor resonated through all her speeches and interviews; she was well deserving of the night’s honor.

Veuve Clicquot Champagne Event

The DOWNTOWN team was invited to the Veuve Clicquot Mail event at the Conrad Hotel’s Loop Doopy rooftop bar, and the soiree did not disappoint. The concept of the event was explained to our team; Madame Clicquot ran her champagne empire with the stroke of her pen. Her personal notes to her suppliers and agents kept her company afloat and up to date on everything related to the Veuve Clicquot world. She was a big believer in the personal touch that a hand-written note offered. As a result, in order to pay tribute to her belief in the importance of letter writing, Veuve Clicquot has embarked on a tour to spread the “personal touch” campaign.

Guests at each event will have a chance to write a note on a customized Veuve Clicquot postcard with a branded postage stamp that will be sure to make the recipient smile. Once guests write the note, they drop the postcard into the Veuve Clicquot branded mailbox. Then, they’re treated to a Veuve Ice Pop and privy to discounted glass of the delicious champagne. Well-known DJ Nico was on hand to help kick the event off with great music and complimentary appetizers.

The Veuve Clicquot Mail Truck’s next stops are in Cape Cod, Nantucket, Washington DC and Alexandria, VA . Following its stops in Alexandria, the truck will be traveling to Chicago, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Miami. Don’t miss your chance to join in on the fun!

Miami Swim Week 2015 is right around the corner, and the top swimsuit designers are preparing to debut their trendy and chic designs.

DOWNTOWN had the opportunity to attend the Pre Miami Swim Week Summer Social, where we took a sneak peak at the swimsuits to be modeled at this year’s Miami Swim Week on July 17. The event, hosted by Bollare, took place in the Mondrian Hotel in SoHo. The Summer Social featured collections from swimsuit lines Tori Praver, Rachel Pally Swim and Bikini.com. Besides admiring the swimwear, guests admired breathtaking views from the rooftop pent house overlooking Midtown Manhattan. Games were also part of the night; champagne ping pong in particular was a hit for the evening, where the winner received a gift card to shop at bikiniswim.com.
