Step out of the cold and into a place that transports you back to a loft party themed after one of Asia\u2019s most classic attractions.<\/p>\n<p>One ticket gives you the chance to experience:<\/p>\n<p>Open bar all night*<br \/>\nFood sampling from local food vendors*<br \/>\nDancing to the music of DJ Tentrum*<br \/>\nGames, including a raffle for prizes, a wandering palm reader, and more<br \/>\nProfessional photography with themed backdrop and props*<br \/>\nAnd more<\/p>\n<p>This lively and decadent night of food and entertainment is for the benefit of BBBS of NYC, which since 1904, has changed the lives of children for the better through one-to-one mentorships.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of this annual event is to expand the reach of the New American Program to support more Big-Little mentoring<br \/>\nmatches. The mission of the New American Program is to help immigrant youth overcome the unique obstacles they may face while adjusting to a new culture, language and customs. These youngsters&#8217; feelings of loneliness, isolation and prejudice as well as the stress of negotiating between their cultural traditions and the urban American environment are addressed through relationships with their mentors. Participants in the program represent over 55 nations and 34 languages.<\/p>\n<p>The eventual goal is to raise sustainable funding ($50,000 a year) to support an additional NAP social worker<br \/>\nto supervise additional matchers.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please visit<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bbbsnycamcnightmarket.splashthat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bbbsnycamcnightmarket.splashthat.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11\/14\/2014 8pm-11pm Mercer Lofts 52 Mercer St, New York, NY 10013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48602"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48602\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48658,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48602\/revisions\/48658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
