DLD at Plaza

We had the privilege to host a DLD cocktail at the soon to be opened Plaza Hotel in New York last week. Pictures will follow soon. The famous hotel is so much part of Big Apple's history, placed iconically at Central Park South and Fifth Avenue. Nowadays, the Apple Store is just opposite and we went there by night. It shimmeres a little like a graal and you step down to immerse into the Apple world.

Our reception went alongside the US Israeli Executive Summit held there for two days which we could also attend. Our Co-Chair Yossi Vardi held a panel on digital media and Guy Rolnik with The Marker was a media partner.

We were so happy that our cocktail drew so many old and new DLD friends, amongst them architect Richard Meyer, Martha Stewart, Andrew Robertson fo BBDO, Klaus Biesenbach and Paula Antonelli of Moma, Matthew Bishop of the Economist, Adam Bly of Seed Media and many more. A hot topic was Paula's newly opened exhibit "Design and the elastic mind", a must see (here NYtimes coverage with photos) showing the wide range of design today.
