It seems nowadays that anyone can hang out a shingle and call themselves a DMC. So I have the pleasure to announce that Briggs is the only full service Destination Management Company in NYC to have earned a charter ADMC accreditation. The Association of Destination Managing Executives, ADME, has designed industry standard requirements that measure the longevity and stability of the company, their commitment to the DMC industry and their service levels to clients. Indeed we are the only company in NYC to also have two DMCP's and one CMP on our team. Now clients can look for the ADMC certification to ensure that the DMC they are working with meets high standards. So congrats to us ! - Briggs, Inc., ADMC.

Has Alain Ducasse opened up another pretentious French expensive money pit? Well the jury is still out on that one. Adour has opened and is making its mark at the St. Regis Hotel. The restaurant is located in an awkward space off the lobby, once home to that other pinnacle of food foolery, Lespinisse. With over 1,500 wines and the contemporary French cuisine, Alain Ducasse's Adour is richly decorated with hues that reflect the deepest Merlots, creamiest Chardonnays and champagne bubble-like fixtures and dividers. Guests can use interactive technology which projects the wine list onto their table, providing their history and potential food parings. Can you guess how much wine is by the glass? You don't want to know (up to $88).

Want to "float through the air with the greatest of ease" or do you have an urge to throw yourself off a platform 23 feet in the air? The Briggs, Inc. sales team went to new heights to test out the Trapeze School New York. The Trapeze School is dedicated to creating a safe, fun, challenging environment where "flyers" strive to surpass limitations, fulfill their dreams and more richly enjoy their lives. This is a great team building event. The thrill of the first few swings only whets your appetite for this exhilarating sport engendering risk taking and trust in your fellow participants. Of course this event is handled with consummate professionalism and safety. It features the most up-to-date equipment, a focused class environment, clear instruction (before and during class) from expert instructors and most importantly - a great time. So here's your chance to be Superman, or Spiderman or Rocky the Flying Squirrel.

John Waters film of Cry-Baby is now a new musical. Baltimore, 1954 - everyone likes Ike, nobody likes communism and Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker is the coolest boy in town. He's a bad boy with a good cause — truth, justice and the pursuit of rock 'n' roll. When he falls for a good girl who wants to be bad, her charm-school world of bobby sox and barbershop quartets will never be the same. Wayward youth, juvenile delinquents, sexual repression, cool music, dirty lyrics, bizarre rejects…Finally, the '50s come to life! Will lightning strike twice and turn Cry-Baby into another mega hit like Water's other inspired musical, Hairspray?
