This week's roundup includes drinks topped with an edible stenciled logo in Toronto, a Lite-Brite-inspired bar in New York, and plenty of new rental ideas from our For Rent Week coverage.
The financial services company hosted a launch party for its EveryDay card on April 2. Artist Dana Kase designed a custom American Express EveryDay card made from paillettes. The piece acted as the backdrop for the stage where singer-songwriter duo A Great Big World performed several songs, including its hit “Say Something.”
At the futuristic Toronto event, snacks from the Food Dudes included freshly made chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches. The treats were hand-churned using dry ice. Candice & Alison produced the function, which took place on March 27.
Candice & Alison worked with Charton Hobbs, the ambassador of Premium Brands alcohol, to create the evening's specialty drinks. One cocktail, served in a coupe glass, had the ELR logo stenciled in silver edible dust.
Food & Wine anointed the next generation of culinary talent at its Best New Chefs party on April 1 at Powerhouse in the American Museum of Natural History. The façade of the bar was filled with wine corks that had been dipped in the evening's signature colors: hot pink, bright yellow, and turquoise.
Instead of a traditional red carpet, the stairs leading to the event space had a custom typography treatment that read “Best New Chefs.”
The bar was a take on an American classic toy—the Lite-Brite. Backlit and filled with several thousand straws that spelled out the #EveryDayMoments hashtag, the wall behind it become the focal point of the event.
