Michael Kors and Bette Midler hosted a special summer block party for Essex Street Community Garden, a new park developed by the New York Restoration Project, June 21. The event featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony, live music, food trucks, and more.
The Project, founded in 1995 by Midler, is devoted to restoring, revitalizing, and developing underserved parks, community gardens, and other open spaces in New York City.
