Many New Yorkers are still talking about Bill de Blasio's January 1st inauguration. This was an event like no other that received rave reviews. Much of the credit is owed to Gabrielle Fialkoff, the new mayor's inaugural chair.
Due to this friendship, de Blasio trusted her to plan his entire inaugural event as he swore under oath to serve his city with the best of intentions. More information recently revealed about the event and its plans was provided in an interview.
The primary aim of the event was to bring de Blasio's campaign theme into the mix. The Democrat ran on the premise that he represented the masses and not just the rich. In this vein, the inauguration reflected the same values.
All New York residents were given access to affordable tickets and had the opportunity to see the live City Hall inauguration in person if they were willing to brave the cold.
Another 7,000 people visited Gracie Mansion that Sunday for an Open House event planned by Fialkoff. This hadn't been done in nearly 50 years, but the entire offering was well received since tickets sold out just several hours after they went on sale.
If the idea of someone in the jewelry industry planning these festivities seems weird, it shouldn't. Gabrielle Fialkoff worked in politics for many years before assuming her COO helm at Haskell. She helped the mayor campaign for a few races, including his run for City Council in 2001.
Fialkoff hasn't only worked with de Blasio though. She's also participated in campaign efforts for Hillary Clinton and other well known political figures. Eventually she made the move from politics to Haskell Jewels.
In her interview, Fialkoff spoke glowingly about the execution of these two celebrations. They were everything she had hoped for.
It seems like New Yorkers agree too. The social media world was abuzz with praise about the unique opportunity to see everything in person.
