February 2003


   From the Managing Director:        Briggs Red Carpet Staff in Rome
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. As I write this, New York sits snuggly under a 2 foot blanket of snow. And we love it! New Yorkers take great pride in overcoming anything that's thrown our way. Which is one of the reasons why New York is the greatest city in the world. Of course, Rome ain't too shabby either, which is where the Briggs team was a few weeks ago as part of our "Incentives Start At Home" program. Pictures? Click Here.

This is our fifth "Briggs Beat Electric" and I would love to know how we're doing. What you like. What you don't like. And what's missing that you would like to see. Please let me know your thoughts - gnewman@briggsnyc.com. Thanks. Stay warm, drink plenty of fluids and come up and see me sometime! Gary Newman.

Art is in abundance in NYC! While it's chilly outside, now is a perfect time to explore the plethora of museums and institutions that this cultural capital has to offer. One of the hottest tickets in town currently is MoMA Queens' 'Henri Matisse / Pablo Picasso' retrospective. It is the first exhibition dedicated to the lifelong dialogue between two of the most important artists of the twentieth century. The presentation, which features nearly 140 paintings, sculptures, and drawings borrowed from collections in Europe and the U.S., is on exhibit through May 19th. So, escape the wintry weather and enjoy an afternoon of culture and art at some of NYC's other popular museums:

Leonardo da Vinci, Master Draftsman -
    Metropolitan Museum of Art (through 3/30)
Manet/Velazquez -
    Metropolitan Museum of Art (3/4 - 6/8)
Einstein - American Museum of Natural History
   (through 8/10)
Anne Vallayer-Coster: Painter to the Court of
    Marie Antoinette - The Frick Collection
   (through 3/23)

Fiamma is one of the newest and sleekest Italian restaurants to open in New York City in years. Upon entrance you are whisked up a glass enclosed elevator to your own private room, lined with brick exposed walls and votive candles surrounding the room. The private room can host an intimate dinner for 20 or a larger gathering of up to 65 guests. This new SoHo Osteria is not only appealing to the eye, but just as tempting to the palate; try the sautéed sea scallops with black trumpets, truffle vinaigrette, followed by the seared filet of beef in a Barbera wine sauce.
