New Georges’ big benefit 2024 celebrates a pretty special person. As Artistic Director of the playwrights' organization New Dramatists, Emily Morse has supported a significant phalanx of New Georges artists. As her inimitable self, she's been a dear friend for a long, long time: as a charter member of our bygone Kitchen Cabinet artist council; as director and production dramaturg; as one-woman reciprocal cheering section. So this year we thought we'd cheer back bigger.
In her honor we return to elNico, scene of last year's crime, on the roof of Penny Hotel. The Infatuation says that its "impressive space, food and cocktails" make it a "triple threat"—and that's not the only theatrical metaphor it brings to mind! It's in Williamsburg, but not far in AND has remarkable city views from huge terraces on both sides AND has remarkable cocktails AND is remarkably sexy, though I doubt we need to remind you of THAT. So so sexy. And so we return...
Perfect timing.
The party kicks off at 6 & winds down at 9, and while we know you're fashionable, don't be late: the sun begins its descent at 6:51, FYI! Peak sunset will go down perfectly (it always does) with those swishy cocktails, those "views for days," that funky furniture, that very special Mexican food—plus that big celebration of Emily and perhaps some mini-events yet to be announced.
elNico, ooh la la! Just a 5-minute city walk from the Bedford Avenue L stop (the very first stop in Brooklyn! Exit on the Diggs Avenue side); a slightly longer walk or quick taxi ride from the J or M to Marcy Avenue; and a half hour in the car from Midtown Manhattan.
Now scroll on down, buy your ticket, and promise we’ll all see you soon!
