On the first day of the Manhattan Cocktail Classic (the day I almost fell asleep with a cocktail in my hand–and not because of intoxication), I attended a party in a hotel suite to benefit the organization No Kid Hungry. I hoped that standing on the balcony overlooking Manhattan or attending other parties at the Andaz Hotel would wake me up (it didn’t work).

I did, however, manage to capture a few shots of New York at night.
Although I didn’t have enough money to participate in the auction, No Kid Hungry raised a few thousand dollars that night (possibly more after I left). You can visit No Kid Hungry’s website to learn more about helping this organization that aims at ending childhood hunger in the US at www.nokidhungry.org.
New York at night, can’t go wrong :) Maybe I can make it next year!
