Come celebrate photographer Susan Anderson as she takes us into the world of child beauty pageants in her book High Glitz:
The Extravagant World of Child Beauty Pageants. Barney’s Creative Director Simon Doonan, who wrote the book’s forward, will also be on hand to discuss this beauty pageant subculture. RICE not surprisingly offers a pretty intense variety of rice, from brown to Bhutanese red. Most of the rice based dishes come in large and small sizes. Right below RICE is Low Bar, an extremely convenient place to grab a drink and catch some great DJs spin in a lounge environment. Right off the water, with a view of the South Street Seaport and the Brooklyn Bridge so close you can touch it, the only thing that could make this view better is ice cream. You’ll usually find a long line for Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, but the sweet flavors are worth it!
