Times Square Exhibition Site Opens With Room for Events

Far from Museum Mile but around the corner from the Hard Rock Cafe is another house of memorabilia. Following press previews yesterday, the Discovery Times Square Exposition opened today. The site, a 60,000-square-foot facility born out of a partnership between the Discovery Channel and Running Subway Productions, sits in what was once the home of The New York Times printing presses and debuted with two exhibits—"Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" and "Lucy's Legacy: The Hidden Treasures of Ethiopia." The venue is spread across two levels and, in addition to two main galleries, includes a cafe and event space run by Robbins Wolfe Eventeurs.

Although the specific details for hosting corporate and nonprofit events at the new venue haven't been worked out yet, it's likely that the setup will be fairly similar to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex, also managed by Running Subway Productions, where groups can use the entire facility with tours of the exhibits (no food or beverages are allowed in these sections) and cocktail receptions or small seated dinners in the dedicated event space. —Anna Sekula

Entertainment Weekly Throws Summer-Inspired Must List Celebration

Most people probably feel that summer has long since arrived, but the season only technically began last night. Entertainment Weekly seized the opportunity to toast its annual "Must List" of the best of the summer's pop-culture offerings with a bash celebrating the season.

The magazine's biggest client-entertaining event of the year in New York, the party welcomed 800 ad clients, publicists, and editorial and photo staffers for an evening of drinks and dancing and a performance by pop singer Rihanna (whose song "Umbrella," currently number one on the Billboard pop charts, is arguably a strong early contender to be the song of the summer).

David Stark's design showcased the brands of presenting sponsors Diet Coke and Garnier as well as the Discovery Channel and Cheaptickets, using lighting, lounges, sculpture, and myriad icons of the season. MORE >>
