Miwa-san Wins First Place

Mega-talented Miwa is not only an extraordinary hostess and chef, but a First Place Winner in the national "champagne chair" model contest sponsored by Design Within Reach and Apartment Therapy. Her top design, a lounge chair crafted from champagne cork and label, will tour 5 cities in the U.S., but Cafe Drake was lucky enough to celebrate the event at DWR's flagship store in Brooklyn Heights. A heavy snowfall did not deter well wishers seen above including Miwa's hubby Kevin and friends Miki S, Jorge and Andrew and Cafe D ourselves. Please join us all in Congrats to Miwa and revel in the numerous toasts of bubbly directed M's way. Celebrations continued afterwards at a local curry house.
