The NY Post calls Howard Rubenstein “the most impressive Rolodex in New York,” which sounds about right. The PR legend was honored by his alma mater St. Johns University at an event this week attended by New York Gov. David Paterson, Ivanka Trump and Al Roker, among others.

Rubenstein received the Caritas Medal, in honor of his charitable work over the years. The PR exec “beamed like a boy” when he received two Yankee stadium seats from George Steinbrenner‘s daughter Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal. Rubenstein has long repped the New York Yankees.
