It was We the Women's first New York event.
This past Friday evening—the last dregs of summer still lingering in the air—forty-five guests made their way down an unassuming stretch of Elizabeth Street, past a decidedly no-frills massage parlor beloved by locals for its reasonably-priced foot rubs, and up a narrow stairwell lit only by paper lanterns. Awaiting them on the top floor was SISTERS, an event space founded by Erin Knutson and run with help from Molly Ledbetter.
The Los Angeles-based collective’s previous events, productions, and community outreach projects have included plays, variety shows, a short film, and even a wake for the year 2017; Friday’s dinner marked their first New York event. In attendance were an assortment of creatives—writers, actors, artists, musicians, designers, filmmakers, philanthropists, and entrepreneurs.
On the long table, flickering tea lights and beeswax tapers nested in a tangle of freshly-cut fall oak; vintage glass milk bottles held bouquets of Japanese blue delphinium and single stems of Midori anthurium. A corner bar featured Gia Coppola wines and craft cocktails by Yola Mezcal and Forthave Spirits .
As eight o’clock approached, guests found their assigned seats via personalized place cards. Love and Ressler took to the stage to announce the first performer of the evening, author T Kira Madden . Madden read a harrowing and especially timely excerpt from her essay “The Feels of Love,” leaving guests riveted. Next up was a storyteller and choreographer Lauren Cox, whose deeply affecting “Water Falls” combined movement with spoken-word poetry.
Sadron’s artfully-conceived dinner was a delight—mixed greens salad with fresh herbs, shaved shallots, and caramelized walnuts; roasted duck breast with rosemary-honey glaze, shiitake, and cremini risotto; and sautéed chard, followed by ramekins of pumpkin crème brûlée and delicate; spongey petites madeleines that even Proust would have enjoyed.
