The new Boyds celebrated the instillation of its new shoe boutique featuring Manolo Blahnik on September 14th. The event was co hosted by W Magazine and showcased the latest Manolo styles while guests enjoyed a private shopping experience with George Malkemus, Manolo Blahnik’s President.

The hottest and hippest gathered at the Penn's Landing Hyatt to find out what Philly area restaurant or bar has the best cocktail. Guests sipped on fine drinks, enjoyed music by Wired 96.5 and sampled food. A panel of judges crowned the 10 Cane Mojito as the first annual cocktail winner, but the people's choice was the Crown Royal Red Apple Martini.
