The recession and its ensuing rebound haven’t made for the most hospitable climate for events. Many of New York’s corporations, nonprofits, and other institutions have been forced to rethink the ways they approach their yearly parties, festivals, fund-raisers, and trade shows. But in the necessary retooling, young events like the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Downtown Dinner and stalwarts such as MoMA’s Party in the Garden have proven their place on our annual list of the city’s top events—some have even climbed a few notches. While many events keep trying to find their footing, these will continue to command influence in 2010.
