Last night, I attended the media launch of BoHo Bodega, the "world's first non-profit non-profit pop up shop focused on bringing easily accessible environmentally-sound products to consumers in New York." Basically, it's a showcase for environmentally-friendly products and the store, located in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, will remain open through October 25. Up until then, different environmentally-themed events will be taking place there which you'll find in a post I've reblogged above this one.
The opening included "NYC's first ever live urban opera," a performance of selections from Rachmaninoff and Scriabin operas by David Dumas (you'll find the video embedded here), performance artist Yoshihiro Watanabe changing costumes throughout the evening, recycled couture headpieces from designer Hayley McCulloch, an actor pretending to be a traditional deli owner whose name didn't appear on the handout provided at the event unfortunately, and "eco-friendly cuisine" which consisted of eggplant as well as ham and turkey (I think) sandwiches.
Joining me at the opening were Greentarget's Andrew Graham, Agent16's Jenean Chapman, and Green and Save's Allison Kade. Not long after the performance concluded, we headed to the East Village for Sean Captain's Tuesday Night Drinking Club at Common Ground.
