Under the Stars with Susan Miller & Todd English at @CrossBar

On December 15, CrossBar hosted Under the Stars with Susan Miller & Todd English in NYC. I was lucky enough to attend a preview of the $225 a person event and get a sample of the delectable food and drinks guests would enjoy a couple hours later.

CrossBar is located in Limelight Marketplace on 20th Street & 6th Avenue. First of all, if you haven’t checked out Limelight, I suggest you make your way over there as soon as possible. Most of us remember Limelight in its former life as a club. Now the hard-to-miss neighborhood landmark and former church is home to a montage of boutiques and restaurants. Opened in June, CrossBar is the latest eatery by renowned chef, restaurateur and television star, Todd English.

Combining food, drink and astrology, the event took guests on a journey through the zodiac, with cocktails, light bites, a workshop by astrologer Susan Miller.
