Oh, the Women's Committee of the Central Park Conservancy's Fall Luncheon - an annual, borderline compulsory posh pilgrimage for those of the uptown persuasion.
This year's en plein air affair saw more than 400 well-heeled women flock to the park for a most beautiful afternoon "picnic" featuring autumnally-inspired tablescapes peppered about Bethesda Terrace, Glade Arch, and King Jagiello Plaza, and raised over $325,000 in support of the park's maintenance, management and restoration.
