As the cool evening falls over Knightsbridge,
even the pigeons seem to be in a slumber,
perched on the window ledge of the stores.
People seated at coffee tables are seemingly engaged
in mild conversation,while passersby waffle in chiffon,
with sunglasses serving as hair grips, holding their
hair in its rightful place, on an evening where the
breeze, if any, is but a whisper. For some, this evening
is an excuse to socialise and party the evening away
as we get picture perfect for another one of French
Tuesdays’ exciting extravaganzas.We make our way
towards Beauchamp Place to Nozomi, a restaurant
pleasing to the eye and equally a landmark for this
evening’s dynamic hosts. Greeted by both new and
familiar faces, cocktails as usual are within arms’
reach of making an entrance while meeting some
wonderfully turned out people in the process.
All aboard the flagship as we take off into an evening
hosted by Nicoccino for their official launch party.
The theme of the night is ‘Pan Am’ as Nicoccino
gives you the ‘Freedom to Travel’ by providing an
ultimate nicotine experience. Yes, this is an evening
where smokers are enticed, feeling care-free and
acceptable around social circles and not having to
escape to the fire exits to have a pleasure seeking
pull of a cigarette. Here, is where Nicoccino offers
a completely new solution for adult smokers. It’s
discreet, orally disposable and serves well when
smoking isn’t always an option. As usual, there were
delicious canapés, courtesy of Nozomi, going around
the room while a delightful flight crew entertain the
guests with fun photo shoots and playing captain with
attendants checking in flight cards for this evening’s
surprise raffle. Moving swiftly into the early hours
of the evening with music by DJ Tony, the French
Tuesdays team have chosen the newly transformed
and revamped Nozomi well, who were incidentally
voted London’s Best Restaurant Bar in 2013.
There are also goody bags for all in attendance
and yet another wonderful crowd opened to the
festivities of both hosts and sponsors. The raffle is
drawn and the winner is Henri Leow who managed
to answer all four questions correctly. He’s won a
private Michelin Star Cooking experience for two
at Hibiscus Mayfair, following a pleasant night in
Knightsbridge.
