Tabletops at the 2026 Lenox Hill Neighborhood House Spring Gala

"Once Upon a Dream" was the evening's theme, inspiring these spectacular tabletops.

On April 30th, Lenox Hill Neighborhood House hosted more than 500 supporters and friends at Cipriani 42nd Street to celebrate “Once Upon a Dream”—the 132-year-old nonprofit’s annual Spring Gala. NYC&G was the proud media sponsor of the black-tie fundraising benefit and premier tabletop event, which raised more than $1.2 million to support 17,000 New Yorkers in need.

Dozens of renowned interior designers volunteered their talents to create breathtaking tablescapes for the celebration, which honored Board Member Dusty Philip and recognized Executive Director Warren B. Scharf for decades of leadership. Guided by Honorary Design Chair Christopher Spitzmiller and Design Chairs Lindsey Coral Harper and Harry Heissmann, the talented designers used this year’s “La Dolce Vita” theme as inspiration for their fabulous and unique designs, as shown below.
