To Do: Manic Monday

We’re feeling sociable tonight—after a week spent indulging our cinematic urges, it’s time to leave the theater and blink our way through the glint of sequined gowns. We’ll start at the God’s Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards Celebration, where Michael Kors and Glee creator Ryan Murphy are to pick up awards for their philanthropy. From there, a late arrival to the Pratt Institute’s Golden Gala at the Waldorf Astoria, celebrating the school’s 125th anniversary with tributes to the Pratt family and director Julie Taymor. After all that social whirl uptown, we’ll be ready to kick back with a drink at the opening of La Maison Cointreau, in a three-story townhouse downtown. Dita Von Teese will be doing a private burlesque show as guests climb up and down the stairs—we’ll be sure to pack our flats.

Golden Heart Awards Gala, Great Hall, Cunard Building, 25 Broadway, 7pm, tickets and information can be found at glwd.org; Pratt Golden Gala, Waldorf Astoria, 301 Park Avenue, 6pm, tickets and information can be found at pratt.edu/support_pratt; La Maison Cointreau opening, 632 Hudson Street, private event.
