The Real Estate Board of New York’s power-packed annual gala this year won’t look anything like the stuffy affairs of pre-pandemic times. It’s on June 23, not in mid-January; the venue is Far West Side event space The Glasshouse, not the New York Hilton; and dress is casual rather than black tie.
Overseeing the culinary upheaval is super-chef Daniel Boulud, whose newest restaurants, Le Pavillon at One Vanderbilt and Le Gratin in the Beekman Hotel, are the talk of the town. SL Green CEO Marc Holliday, who is a REBNY board member and Boulud’s landlord at Le Pavillon, also took an active interest, Boulud said.
