As most of you know (hopefully), ManhattanHomeDesign.com teamed up with Artichoke Cafe to host an event through Google’s Pink Pin Initiative. The idea for this event came over night and grew to be the biggest event for the 2011 Pink Pin Initiative. Did we mention we planned this event in one week? Well we did! Monday – the idea was born, Tuesday – Artichoke Cafe accepted our proposal and teamed up with us, Wednesday – we went to Google offices to give our proposal and earn their approval and support, Thursday – we picked Sky Room as our venue, designed our invite and started spreading the word, Friday – we sent out a million (literally) press releases and the event was on it’s way!
By the time the event came around the following Wednesday we were like little kids. The excitement was not containable. When we made our rounds in the building to invite our neighbors, many asked “Are you event planners”? Hmm no, but I guess we can add that skill to the resume.
After having only one week to plan the event we were definitely nervous about what the outcome would be. Fortunately, it was better than any of us could have imagined.
Walk down the red carpet to Sky Room’s entrance, take an elevator up 33 floors, enter a beautiful lounge where you are greeted with delicious food from Artichoke Cafe and spectacular drinks from the bar…
Walk up one more flight and enter the roof top lounge, Manhattan’s highest roof top bar! Enter a room of guests who are sipping champagne and listening to great music by DJ Santa, find a comfortable seat on white couches or step outside to the patio where you can take in the most stunning views of the city…
Are we making you jealous yet?
It gets better! As the evening comes to a close, guests come together to make a $10 text donation to the Pink Pin Initiative and then enjoy a complimentary champagne toast. On the way out, guests grab awesome gift bags from Google!


I think it’s safe to say we met our goals and exceeded our expectations!
