Great Performances decorated the dessert table to look like a boudoir for the opening night after-party for New York City Opera's Anna Nicole production, held at Skylight One Hanson in September 2013. The menu was written in red lipstick on vanity mirrors, and presented alongside jewelry boxes and glass jars filled with chocolate truffles, pink meringues, and candy lips, plus cones of pink cotton candy.

At the annual Rammy awards gala, held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in June, food pavilions made from pallet wood were covered in chalkboards that featured the each station's sponsor and the menu items in decorative writing.
