New York has yet to feel like fall, so when the New Museum decided on a picnic chic theme for its NextGen party, it felt more than appropriate. But even if the forecast hadn’t been 70-something degrees, the location was reason enough to head indoors given that the evening began inside the fabulous penthouse at 100 Barclay Street. There, guests like Huma Abedin, Prabal Gurung, and Elaine Welteroth gathered inside the 15,000-square-foot address, which boasts 30-foot ceilings and 360-degree views. It was the perfect setting for an indoor-outdoor dining experience as event impresarios Prentice Cultural transformed the space into a lush reprieve complete with charming picnic tables, miniature hedges, and a blanket of faux grass.
