Hibiscus Bubbly

Talk about "stuff we love"!

Want to put more shimmy in that champagne flute of yours? Try adding a hibiscus blossom to your bubbly! Imported from Australia, these hibiscus flowers are placed in a delicate rasberry-rhubarb syrup flavor and can be easily placed in any serving glass, but the champagne flute looks most elegant. Naturally, the hibiscus flowers are also edible!

Impressive! Visit Wild Hibiscus for more information. You can also purchase this product on Amazon.com.

Wall Street Hype

Fusion Seven went downtown last week for the grand opening of 1834 Bar & Burger - the new, 'meaty' joint of the Wall Street steakhouse hub. What we didn't know (or have forgotten) was how charming the Wall Street neighborhood could be - hardly and traffic lights, old village buildings mixed with corporate skyscrapers, cobblestone streets and views by the river.

1834 is a cute place if you want to have a relaxing time with friends. Rent out the top floor for a small party or the backroom on the lower floor for a watching games with friends - there are flatscreens all over the place! Make no mistake, 1834 has the pub feel that includes a rambunctious crowd.

1834 Bar & Burger is located at 62 Pearl Street at Broad Street. Tel: (212) 248-4848

SXSW 2010

Yes, it's time again for SXSW in Austin Texas, from March 12th to March 21st. For those of you who don't know, SXSW (South by Southwest) in the film and music festival known for discovering indie films and indie bands from the U.S. and abroad. Recently, SXSW has added an interactive festival to their lineup. Just last night SXSW held their Dorkbot Social, organized by Ricochet Labs. The event celebrates "the art and slick stylings of being a dork" and a showcase of self-made bots.

If you're in Austin, stop by SXSW, then tell us all about it!

Mad Hatter Tea Party

Caught up in the hype of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland? Fusion Seven sure did, at the request of client! Fusion Seven was asked to plan the first birthday of young Dylan Michael, from concept to decorations to entertainment.

Here are some photos of the festive event:

Colorful table decor with many allusions to Alice in Wonderinland. Favors for guests were mini-champagne bottles that (on the reverse) read "Drink me" and chocolate candy bars that read "Eat me".

Creating a collage of images for the client gives them an idea of what you envision. This "topsy-turvy" cake was based on a few images pulled from the internet. We hired a magician to do a few card tricks for the kids (and the adults!).

Centerpieces were made out of articifial flowers in teapots, compliented by pre-made mini-planters over a black and white checkered table cloth. Pastel confetti and playing cards were also scattered on the table to add to the Wonderland theme.

Sentry Centers

There's a new venue in NYC! Fusion Seven visited Sentry Centers, one of the newest corporate meeting spaces in the city. We are particulary fond of the main ballroom as well as the outdoor terrace. But don't take our word for it - check it out for yourself!

Here is the 45-seat executive boardroom where each person is equipped with their own laptop plugs, personal microphones and comlimentary WiFi.
