Held at the new Karl Franz Caribbean-influenced restaurant, Solomon & Kuff's, Shaun Derik and Ephraim Sykes' Off the Kuff event was the venue's very first New Year's Eve party. The 5,000 square foot space was all but consumed by its more than 300 cheering guests (a collection of renowned artists, art-lovers, tastemakers, and educators) as vocal phenom, Tamika Lawrence (Vinyl, If/Then, Rent) ripped the stage with her rendition of the Beatles classic, "Come Together."
