During the last sweet days of spring preceding the cruel summer heat, a rooftop party is the closest thing to heaven you’ll find in New York. Last weekend, BABËL New York celebrated its one-year anniversary with a two-day extravaganza in collaboration with Whitewall Magazine on Sunday, May 11. The festivities kicked off at a rooftop party at the SoHo House with DJ sets by WE, NADAV VEE & VANJEE, JULIO & HOLOSOUND, and NICOLA ZANATTA. Artist JR hosted the posh weekend event, which peaked at the Bowery Hotel on Sunday and celebrated the inaugural edition of the Downtown Fair.
Special guests included JR, Olivier van Themsche, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Dean Winters, Ewa Da Cruz, Donna Cruz, Dean Winters, and Rameet Chawla. BABËL New York intends to further expand its presence in the NY nightlife scene this summer. They will host a residency at the rooftop at the Mondrian Hotel on Sundays and re-launch the Parisian Ball in Brooklyn.
