Puff the Magic Dragon in the East Village Tonight

2008_12_puff.jpgTonight's event at neon-basked East Village restaurant Kurve (website warning: club music) will likely be one the more memorable benefits of the season: starting at 7, Andy Yang’s roller-rink chic Thai restaurant hosts an evening of “heavy hors d’ oeuvres” and a silent auction (featuring Wynton Marsalis’s trumpet and 2 round-trip Air France tickets, among other items) to benefit Orphans International Worldwide in conjunction with UNICEF. The real kicker to the night, though, is a live performance of Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. So Thai food, Puff the Magic Dragon, and a famous jazz trumpet—it’s sort of like the doctor’s bag filled with fairy-tale cultural artifacts which Puff himself brings to Jack’s house in the cartoon!

Sounds like they're desperate to attract attention and keep that crap-house open, especially after Bruni's review.

So there will actually be people in this restaurant tonight?

Puff the Magic Dragon is always in the East Village....

Puff is always nice to have around, but what about frosty the snow man? I need to hit the slopes and I'm running out of fresh powder.
