Diner en Blanc (Jul 5)
The annual all-white, chi-chi mass picnic is happening next month, but if you’re one bit interested in attending, you should sign up now. This year, they’ve got an extra romantic shebang going: each guest can write lovey-dovey notes to put in a champagne bottle, which is then released into the waters in true poetic fashion. The best note will win a $1,000 prize from champagne sponsor Perrier-Jouet. Phase Three registration has opened up for those who did not attend last year or didn’t have a sponsored table from a friend who attended previous editions.
