Top of Our List

Last week, Choice combined efforts with Swank Productions to debut our exclusive contract with an exciting new venue in a convenient central location.  Top of the Garden boasts a cool, chic vibe with crisp white décor touches and expansive skyline vistas, everything you need for a summer getaway spot.  At the launch event, summer was definitely in the air alongside tropical floral arrangements, fruity shaved ice cocktails and Cointreau creamsicle shots.  With warm breezes and views of the West Side and Madison Square Garden, guests experienced firsthand the city’s newest exclusive event space.  Top of the Garden is on top of our list and sure to be remembered in planning your next party!

All That Shimmers Is Silver and Gold

Last week, Choice brought the bling to Tribeca Rooftop for Dahlman Rose’s annual Marine Money Week Conference. Staffing the event with our lovely ladies decked out in platinum and 24-karat costumes, Choice completed the Studio 54 fantasy theme with lamé to spare. Throughout the evening, guests were treated to dancers, contortionists, and a comic performance by the Dan Band of The Hangover notoriety. As the event finally winded down, it became clear that disco was far from dead and when it comes to silver and gold, more is definitely more.

Summertime and the Livin's Delicious

The heat is on and Choice is at the ready with just the right eats to set your stomach a growlin’. With the summer months in full swing, our chef’s thoughtful and innovative creations continue to tempt and tease guests’ tastebuds at all of our events. At a recent event, mouthwatering fare such as chilled melon soup shots with watermelon caviar were on hand to cool guests down when the mercury rose, while Chinese black rice cakes topped with crab salad and lemongrass aioli offered up a light and savory crunch. With Choice in the kitchen, summer never sounded so good!

Let's See Some Pledge on Pledge Action!

One of Choice’s biggest fans and early contributors, filmmaker Adam Scorgie, needs your help!

An ambitious goal for sure, but Adam has every confidence in his supporters to help him build a production company “created FOR the indie community BY the indie community”. For the different levels of pledges, each will be met with great rewards!

So go ahead and get your donation on – no buyer’s remorse here!

Choice Dance Moves

Earlier this week, Choice pirouetted and pliéed all the way to Lincoln Center for the New York City Ballet’s annual soiree. At Dance with the Dancers, attendees enjoyed a full night of drinks, dinner, and dancing while mingling with top film, social, fashion, business entrepreneurs, and most importantly, a few of the company’s standout dancers. Some of our favorite clients were a part of the esteemed event chairmen, including Kipton Cronkite and Allison Sarofim. The dancing with the stars continued into the night while Choice bartenders topped of the remarkable evening!

Brooklyn We Go Hard

Looking for something new and hot in the music scene? Choice can make it happen! One of our multi-talented staffers, Edara Johnson, has started a riot in the world of jams. As one of the lead vocalists, Edara shows off her skills with the NY-based band Shinobi Ninja! With a colorful mix of six Brooklyn musicians, Shinobi Ninja delivers high-energy, party-ready tracks on its debut EP, Brooklyn to Babylon. Aside from being a standout emerging talent, the group even has its own video game app, Shinobi Ninja Attacks, letting the player navigate NYC re-imagined as their favorite band member. Rocking a blend of hip-hop, rock, reggae, punk, and metal, this raging band brings a change of pace to the table and so can Choice!

Cannes Do!

Who doesn’t need a little magic added to their lives? Top Choice staffers Jimmy Wirt and Brian Gianci showed us another side of themselves at the Cannes Film Festival this past month. Our guys starred in the short film, Abracadabra, directed by Julie Pacino, the daughter of film great, Al Pacino. With a quick sleight of hand, Jimmy and Brian showed off their range of talent and extended Choice’s charismatic flair. With staff that has such talent for entertaining, Choice has no problem pulling a white rabbit out of its hat to provide your next event with the very in best service!

Lions, and Tigers, and CHOICE…Oh My!

Earlier this week, the Choice crew got the opportunity to explore the Central Park Zoo while making some exciting industry connections. The 2nd Annual Meet and Greet of New York Event Professionals allowed vendors, planners, and producers throughout the NY and NJ area to come together and to mix and mingle. With food, drinks, live entertainment, and wildlife, the Zoo was a magical backdrop for the event and created an enjoyable evening for everyone. Cool summer breezes and a gorgeous sunset sky topped off the night, making the Central Park Zoo an ideal location for your next Choice event!
