"It was one of those only-in-New-York nights the skyline glittered like it had somewhere to be, the air tasted faintly of salt and scotch, and the city's most luminous figures traded their boardrooms and ballet flats for the waterfront. Hudson River Park Friends' Midnight Garden Gala transformed Piers 62 and Sixty into an urban Eden, raising nearly $2.7 million for the park that keeps Manhattan's west side breathing."
"Inside, the transformation was complete: hanging gardens met candlelight, and the Hudson itself shimmered just beyond the glass the ultimate New York accessory. The evening honored Bruce Mosler, Chairman of Global Brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield, and Robert K. Steel, former HRPK Trust Vice Chair and NYC Deputy Mayor both longtime champions of the park's development and vitality. But it was the spirit of the park itself that stole the show."
The Midnight Garden Gala at Piers 62 and Sixty created an urban Eden atmosphere and raised nearly $2.7 million for Hudson River Park. The evening opened with cocktails by the carousel, featuring a scotch-laced apple cider that set a festive autumn tone. A procession led guests between piers, and the interior combined hanging gardens, candlelight, and views of the Hudson. The gala honored Bruce Mosler and Robert K. Steel for their longstanding support. The event underscored the park's reliance on a mix of public passion and private funding to sustain Manhattan's west side waterfront.
