The annual Lenox Hill Spring Gala is an annual fundraiser for the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House and takes place at the Cipriani on 42nd Street (a former historic bank from the turn of the century) in a grand ballroom with soaring ceilings, Greek and Roman columns and gorgeous architecture (there's an ornate fireplace in the men's bathroom). Designers hail from around the country to don a table for the black-tie dinner and dancing fundraiser.
While Part 1 was dedicated to showcasing our table, we are celebrating the other beautiful tables we captured at this year's gala here today. There were so many detailed and rich table designs this year, maybe the best ever! The Flights of Fancy theme gave designers lots of fodder using butterflies, birds and whimsical designs. These tables are grand and worthy of finding out just a little bit more about their inspiration to create these table designs.
Check out six mini interviews at the event, plus twelve of our favorite tables this year.
Happy Nesting

"Lenox Hill Neighborhood House was originally founded in 1894 as a free kindergarten for immigrants and is among the oldest settlement houses in the nation. At its core, the work has not changed since our founding—we still educate children, feed hungry neighbors, care for the elderly, advocate for vulnerable individuals and provide critical, comprehensive services to immigrants and low-income New Yorkers, helping them to gain the skills they need to strengthen themselves today and build a better community for tomorrow". -The Lenox Hill Neighborhood House
