Monday evening launched the 2nd Kitchen of the Year on The Rock (in Rockefeller Plaza, NYC). House Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Stephen Drucker, and Executive Publisher Kate Kelly Smith hosted a party celebrating this year’s House Beautiful Kitchen of the Year designed by the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten.
Ina was there and was absolutely gracious as she chatted with the many guest and yes she is just as delightful in person as she is on television.
Of course no party is complete without fabulous guest and here are some of the many people that joined me at the House Beautiful debut of the Kitchen of the Year. I bet you’ll recognize many of these familiar faces.

All images were captured by the sensational color maven April Clark who joined me at the event as the our official photographer. Thanks April!
