Before The Kennedy Center Honors, there’s the Honors Brunch at The Mandarin Orientel Hotel – a laid back Bloody Mary crowd – rimming salt included, tobasco sauce on the side, celery sticks and garnished with lemon/limes wedges – almost as good as Martins Tavern, almost.
If you’re a seasoned guest, you know to get that before the long line to the sumptuous buffet.
The Honorees:
Lisa and Dustin Hoffman
Ballerina Natalia Makarova
Organized by Liz and George Stevens, many stars have passed through the event from Art Buchwald with Ethel Kennedy to Robert Redford.
The Stars this year:
“Kid” Rock
Alec Baldwin and Michelle Lee
Glenn Close
Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber
