The Ned NoMad helmed by Richie Akiva celebrated their one-year anniversary on June 8th, 2023. Hosted by Richie Akiva, the enchanted evening kicked off with flowing Moet Chandon champagne, stations featuring caviar delights, oysters, lobster rolls, and a bevy of passed hors d’oeuvres showcasing The Ned’s chef favorites. The ceiling was filled with gold-inspired metallic balloons, sheer metallic drapery and disco ball accents while jazz performers welcomed guests. Beautifully costumed dancers featuring champagne dresses, gold glitter ensembles, extravagant headpieces rotated the room and performed on platforms, with look and style inspired by the 1920’s Era Ziegfeld Follies showgirls.

The Ned NoMad hotel and membership club located in the historic NoMad district, had members and invited VIP guests celebrating in the main level club atrium, The Library, The Dining Room, main bar, and then late night The Magic Room capped off the evening’s festivities. Engaged attendees enjoyed flowing libations and engaging music kept partygoers on the dance floor all evening long for an epic celebration.
