A New York City bar crawl is as much of a rite of passage as it is an art form.

French Montana mingled at the Deleon bar while Justin Combs and Christian Combs hung at Diddy’s VIP table toasting with D’USSE cognac cocktails. There was talent at every corner, covering the entire venue.
Kate Beckinsale was show-stopping in a sheer pastel colored jumpsuit featuring floral adornments. Partygoers celebrated and danced to the R&B and hip hop beats of Flex and Diddy. The packed party had over 300 guests, offering cocktails from Deleon Tequila, D’USSÉ Cognac and Armand de Brignac (Ace of Spades) champagne. The street outside The Ned Nomad was packed with guests and fans clamoring to get a glimpse of the artists coming in and out, as well as get themselves into the exclusive party.
