PINK HOLIDAY
The Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge is launching its "Pink Holiday Playground" pop-up on November 13. As the largest hotel rooftop bar in Manhattan, Magic Hour will be transformed into a magical pink oasis with ceilings covered in hundreds of hot pink twinkle lights, oversized rotating mirror balls, human-size festive bears all anchored by the central carousel to create a one-of-a kind experience for the season.
BUDDHA BLOCKCHAIN

The Rockefellers are donating a 500-year-old Buddha statue to be displayed at Master Fo Tao’s upcoming “Peaceful World” Exhibition, which represents a union of classic Chinese calligraphy, modern blockchain technology, and the ancient Buddhist philosophy. Kimberly Rockefeller said “the cavity of the Buddha contains ancient sutras and has never been defiled. We believe creating a blockchain code for this sculpture creates an interplay between the spirited past and the active present.” Exhibit will be held at the Harvard Club (35 West 44th St) November 18-19.
