Dispatches From Last Night: The NYJL Fall Fete

Last night was the New York Junior League's Fall Fete. It was at the Hudson Terrace and it was fantastic. I was on the committee from 2009-2010, so have a real attachment to the event.

First, the dress! Because you can't wear just any old thing to a New York Junior League event.


Second, Erin C., my plus-one. She had never been to a League event before and said she, "Fell into cocktail dress heaven."


The room. It was incredibly well attended. The Hudson Terrace is two levels and a fantastic space for any occasion.


Unphotographed: The dive bar across the street that we ended up at afterwards.
11th Avenue and 46th Street is not the hottest neighborhood in town. At 12:30 a.m. we knew it was time to go when some dockworker guys tried to send us over some drinks.

New York Junior League Fall Fete -- November 18th

Even though I'm not on the committee for the fall auction anymore, I still think it's one of the best events of the year. This year it's on Friday, November 18th at The Hudson Terrace. Be there or be square.

You can purchase tickets online here.

Last Night At The NYJL Auction

I didn't take too many shots last night, which is strange. Perhaps I was too distracted by the grapefruit bellinis.

Best silent auction item: A signed NKOTB platinum album. Note platinum cassette. Amazing.


Lots of people. It was very well attended.

Buy A Ticket For The Fall Auction At Sotheby's!

The New York Junior League's Fall Auction is Saturday, November 13th and you can buy tickets here.

I recommend the $200 VIP tickets, because you'll get all kinds of perks and an awesome gift bag.

Also: there's still a little time left to get in your checks to underwrite the event. It's tax deductable, kids!
