On Saturday, some of the city's "trendiest and most successful Jews" gathered at Espace to celebrate Tu B'Svhat (or "The New Year of Trees"), and to catch a live performance by Blue Fringe.
Attendees included Seth Greenberg (Who received the Leadership Award), Richie Akivia, EMM Group's Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum, TAO owner Mark Packer, composer Anat Cohen, hip-hop violinist Miri-Ben Ari, amd The Blue Note's Danny Bensusan. But where was JRL?? Is he not a Jewish Young Professional?
The YJP works to create and advance business opportunities in New York for the city's young and Jewish inhabitants. The organization is also dedicated towards bettering the surrounding communities by having its members participate in networking, volunteering, and various forms of philanthropy.

Plovgh, the new online farmers market
Who knew that the farming world had a trend? Well, Mallory Sustick, a Brooklyn bartender, works like a dog to maintain, promote and advance the online farmer's market startup Plovgh that began after noticing a need for more local farm market distribution.

Justin has no place at an event for professionals.... He isn't a professional in any meaning of the word, unless you consider spending other peoples money on traveling, then paying blogs to write about you a profession..

It is my understanding that Justin was in East Hampton closing on a forty million dollar estate on Briar Patch Road. A friend of mine knows the person who is co-broking the transaction.

you are misunderstood "Chester" , you are obviously an ignorant devotee of loser... If Justin's folks are selling there minuscule 3000 square foot Hampton's home, there's no way Justin, who receives subsidized living checks from them would be moving anywhere except a windowless Hoboken studio.
