On April 24th -  Housing Works will celebrate the 10th anniversary of New York City’s most popular interior design benefit. Design on a Dime takes place at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea. The 3-day event features more than 50 of the world’s top interior designers, who create unforgettable room vignettes with new (donated) merchandise and then sold for 50 to 70 percent off retail pricing!

Let me break it down even further: this assumes you've already chosen your fashion ensemble, received your deep tissue massage, swallowed your beauty pills and are ready to party, purchase and parade up and down the isles of the Metropolitan Pavillion.

5:30 begins the ticketed VIP Opening Night Reception
star-studded crowd - hundreds of VIPs - friends of Housing Works - A-list design enthusiasts and Event Chairs will get the first public look at the room vignettes and enjoy exclusive preview shopping, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and live entertainment.

6:30 party in full force and it is a scrumptious scene and wait lines outside have been 

Just in case you didn't know . . .  . . On April 23rd, the eve of the premier shopping fundraiser, Design on a Dime is hosting its second annual Groundbreaker Awards Dinner. The festive evening will bring together Housing Works’ closest friends and supporters from around the city to honor outstanding individuals who have made a significant contribution to, and an impact on, the fight to end HIV/AIDS and homelessness.
