For Immediate Release
New York, NY – August 17, 2009-SEA Paddle NYC (www.seapaddlenyc.org)will kick off its third year of raising money to promote autism awareness and coastal preservation on Thursday, August 20, 2009 at 7:00pm at the “Black Party,” a new event on the SEA Paddle calendar hosted by Iceberg Vodka and Gallery Bar, located on Manhattan’s Lower East Side (www.gallerybarnyc.com). The evening will feature special celebrity guests and a surf art show as well as a raffle and auction. Iceberg Vodka and Berentzen Spirits is sponsoring a complimentary hour of Iceberg Vodka featuring the signature SEA Surfer Cocktail.
Josh Boyd, an owner of Gallery Bar, adds “I fancy myself a body surfer and my dad’s a surfer so we’re excited to be hosting a related event to raise money for autism awareness and coastal preservation. We have a dynamic space that partygoers just love, and I know we’re going to have a great night. In addition to our gallery, Iceberg Vodka’s signature cocktail and our great cuisine, NYC artist Anthony Cito, who is currently on exhibit at Gallery Bar, will be creating live portraits during the event. We’re just lucky to be able to host organizations like the Surfer’s Environmental Alliance and help do some good, and we’re thrilled to be welcoming everyone to Gallery Bar to kick off this year’s SEA Paddle.” Boasting a new twist on nightlife, Gallery Bar is an exciting addition to the booming Lower East Side. By day Gallery Bar exhibits works by established and emerging artists, but once the sun sets Gallery Bar transitions into a hip bi-level lounge. Legendary Waterman Darrick Doerner will be signing autographs at the Black Party.
Iceberg Vodka, the main ingredient in the evening’s signature cocktail, is manufactured by the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation and is produced using pure, pristine water from melted icebergs. This proprietary source of water and its unique distillation process have earned Iceberg Vodka the Golden Icon Award for Best Vodka in 2006-2007.
Just two nights after the “Black” Party, the White Water Evening is a stoked night of fun, dinner, dancing and cool ocean breezes at a breathtaking beachfront estate in Monmouth Beach, NJ. At 7:00p on Aug 22, just as the sun begins to set on the horizon, white-clad guests from all across the country gather to spread some aloha for the paddle. Enjoy a casually elegant evening spent mingling with celebrity paddlers, open bar, sampling the delicious, vacation-inspired cuisine of veteran Jersey Shore Chef Marilyn Schlossbach of Langosta Lounge(www.langostalounge.com), and dance to reggae band Predator Dub Assassins and, flying in from LA for the party, MK & The Gentlemen from La Cali. Other highlights include an auction of handmade and signed surfboards, music memorabilia, including an autographed item from U2’s Edge, a trip to Bali, and other exclusive items.
Langosta Lounge is quickly becoming one of the hottest restaurants on the Jersey Shore. Open less than two years and located in the middle of the rebirth of historic Asbury Park NJ, Chef Schlossbach is earning high praise satiating her patrons with exotic creations such as her jalapeno-infused tequila drinks, Lobster Enchiladas and Labrador Asian Barbecue Baby Back Ribs.
