| Met Pav Hosts Industry Powwow |
|
| After a quiet summer and a fairly restrained first half of September, event planners mixed and mingled at a reception hosted by Metropolitan Pavilion. It was sort of a back-to-school dance for the special event set, designed to show off the new lobby at the venue's 19th Street entrance. The event also included a thank-you to NYC & Company's Convention, Exhibits, Meetings and Events Committee (CEME), which was formed after the September 11 attacks to help bring hospitality business to New York. |

The party filled the north section of the venue with event industry pros and a slate of vendors looking to show off what they can do. Musters & Company designed a blue look for the space, hanging blue fabric and blinking lights from the ceiling above the bar, and putting out blue tablecloths. Frost Lighting created a textured lighting effect on the venue's bare white walls, rotating through shades of red, green, blue, purple and yellow. Empire Force Events also put out a pair of giant Airstar balloons.
The Catering Company served passed hors d'oeuvres including bite-sized chicken club sandwiches with chipotle aioli and Cuban pressed sandwiches with rum-crusted country ham, manchego cheese and green olives. FoodWorks Flatiron
put out a Caribbean-themed buffet with raw veggies, tortilla chips and mango salsa.
For entertainment, the New Standards Jazz Band played a jazz mix and masseuses from Oasis Day Spa offered quick massages.
