Best of Philly 2016 Soiree

In case you’ve missed it: Philadelphia Magazine released their Best of Philly 2016 winners recently in the August issue. Every summer, we look forward to celebrating our favorite local businesses, and oftentimes, explore new gems in the neighborhood. To cap it all off, they throw a huge party, presented by Mercedes-Benz, with all of the winners and friends! On August 4th, we all gathered at Dilworth Park in front of City Hall to eat, drink and dance the night away.

As one of our favorite summertime events, Best of Philly Soiree is a big deal at PPRG HQ. We called in our glam squad to help us prepare. This year, we had Tanya Buzzetta of Neiman Marcus and one of 2016 winners, ManeStreem App with their amazing on-location services. It was perfect as we had the best hair and makeup services set up right in our offices. (Ask for ManeStreem’s Tucker and Nadia!) We would never leave out Brandon, our MANager; we also had Chad Michael for our men’s services. A huge thank you to the whole glam squad!

With the best of the best food in Philly, we were in heaven trying bite after bite. Some highlights were fresh salmon from Double Knot, sweet heirloom tomatoes from Lacroix, and good ol’ comforting Santucci’s square pie. With plenty of prosecco and an airy SKYY vodka lounge, drinks also fit the light summer mood.

As the sun set, we danced around the fountain to DJ Adrian Hardy’s beats. Once the clock struck 9 o’clock, we were promptly escorted down the street to the official after party at Del Frisco’s Steak House. The beautiful, massive building was the perfect space to hold the large crowd of swanky people as we partied into the night.
