To celebrate the launch of its Taste Guide 2018, Italian mineral water brand S.Pellegrino hosted a viewing party for Manhattanhenge—an event where the setting sun aligns with the east-west streets in Manhattan—on July 12 at Tudor City Bridge. The brand partnered with chefs Daniela Soto-Innes of ATLA and Cosme in New York and Sarah Hymanson and Sarah Kramer of Kismet in Los Angeles to serve food at the event.Â
Inside the club, guests were able to grab essentials like binoculars and radios, play Golden Tee arcade games, and sign golf balls, which were included in an ever-evolving wall display.
One of the more glamorous details of the event was a vintage bathtub-turned-flower installation. White and clear balloons spilled out of it, designed to look like bubbles flying everywhere.Â
