The Night Of

“Kiss From a Rose” Doug Adams Pop-Up

What: Red carnation-clad tables and decadently rich cuisine (caviar, black truffles, foie gras, lobster, and champagne) are the mode at this fundraiser from the Bullard team (Doug Adams and Jennifer Quist)—all set to an 80s/90s love (and break-up) playlist.
