Photos from Save Venice

When they weren't checking their cell phones or snapping pictures of themselves, the guests at the Young Friends of Save Venice ball last night were very attentive to one another. "So who are you are dating, and who are you sleeping with?" one inquiring female guest asked of a male friend. The masked ball was a visual feast as you'll see from the photo album. It was also a lively evening that was the next best thing to being in Venice. More than 300 people attended, raising $225,000. Gift bag log: one bottle of Tocca body lotion, one Marie Belle chocolate, one brochure featuring photographs of beautiful men and women apparently enjoying the luxury lifestyle of the Veneto, the Related Company residential development on East 53rd Street. According to the fine print, this location provides lucky Veneto residents with easy access to the Hamptons and Europe via the 59th Street bridge.
