Dear Friends and Colleagues
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It has been a magical year for me! I want to thank everyone for some of the most beautiful moments of my life at the corner of 22nd and the West Side Highway. Unfortunately, I am ending my association with the partnership and restaurant that currently reside at 559 West 22nd Street. But have no fear, I am working on some very exciting new projects with an incredible team of collaborators. Every moment in life happens for a reason and I am extremely thankful and blessed for all I have received. I will keep you posted on the new ventures and all the wonderful things in OUR future!
See you in the SUN!

Supperclub was a Super Soiree
With the sumptuous supperclub event hosted by Tamsin Lonsdale of The Supper Club Worldwide and the sweet sounds from singer-songwriter Giora Polushko, last Tuesday night was simply mesmerising.
Tamsin is one the foremost hostesses in the world, organizing luxury dinner experiences for her members, a collective of discerning tastemakers who seek to get to know other like-minded individuals. Set in the lovely BES salon environment, the party got to know each other over drinks as Mr. Patrick Duffy introduced Giora, one of BES’ fabulous hosts, to play throughout the evening. Giora’s self-penned compositions created an artistic and almost theatrical ambiance, mixed with his classical piano arrangement and folk sounds.
As the supperclub came to a close, Giora played a second set to the sounds of Mr. Patrick Duffy’s cries of encore. Encore indeed. I am so fortunate to be surrounded by a team of talented artists and I look forward to seeing how my chers enfants will surprise me next. 



Bisous chouchous

The Boutique - EAT and SHOP
Last Monday was the launch of our very first Boutique soiree at BES and I was all shopped out by the end. Our very own Miss. Benna Douglas compiled the most marvelous collection of clothing, jewelry, art and other precious wares and the evening was a soaring success. We saw some of our lovely regulars join us for dinner as well as some new faces, who came out to support the venture. A portion of the proceeds went to support the Japanese Red Cross.
Thanks also to the magical Sid Haywoode who graced the BES stage and performed some songs for us.







I look forward to the evolution of The Boutique. Now I have to find someone new who can support my shopping habit.
Bisous
