The Gala
Spanning four floors, two city blocks, and over ten million cubic feet of space, the opening night Gala will once again take over the sprawling main branch of The New York Public Library, filling the mammoth hallways and cavernous arches with music, dancing, merriment, mischief, wild performances, scandalous art, nibbles, noshes, chaos, curiosities, and infinite twists, turns, and general sensory excess. (Oh - and did we mention over twenty-five thousand cocktails?) Whether you're a self-proclaimed cocktail enthusiast or seasoned industry professional, or neither enthusiastic nor professional but in possession of at least a begrudging appreciation for a good stiff drink and a desire to attend the most epic cocktail party New York has ever seen - this is one event you do not want to miss.
