Party Photos: The Design Party in New York
A huge thanks to Lower East Side standby Pianos and Paul, the bar manager there, for winning over the mediabistro.com crowd once again. Between the cozy upstairs lounge -- which our design devotees could certainly appreciate -- a dinner menu that hit the spot, and some free shots to a lucky few, a great time is always had by mb at Pianos! Susan Welt proved to be a most gracious host, sporting smiles as big and bright as the pink boa she rocked. Special thanks to our mb volunteers Laura and Joe for pulling this party together.
At Pianos, January 22, 2007
