Summer's Soiree- Celia Chen shows how to throw an eco-chic party

August has been mild in New York City and a perfect time for another Night of Eco-Chic Entertaining, presented by Celia Chen and her online magazine Notesonaparty.com. As with the magazine’s inaugural party in the spring, Celia used the opportunity of throwing a big bash to show how partying on a grand scale can be environmentally conscious. She partnered with the venue The Xchange to hostess a green roof-top party that was as delicious as it was glamorous. Party-goers were fed by Sage Events, a company which promises to provide clients with sustainable catering by seeking out small, local farms and offers hormone-free chicken, grass-fed beef, organic milk and eggs, and fair trade coffee and tea. Guests crowded around the chefs preparing fresh, made-to-order Cioppina (“San Francisco” style paella), and waiters circulated with delicious, signature treats like the “Heirloom Tomato, Long Island Corn and Scallion on a Zuchinni Cake” and the “Grass Fed Beef Empanadas with Tomatillo Salsa.”
