DUE To THE RECORD breaking sales of Manhattan GardenCity – Towers 1, 2 and 3 are all substantially taken up – Property giant Megaworld Corporation and the Araneta Group broke ground recently for their New York-inspired landmark joint venture project.

Cheers to Tosca!

Just recently, the Dusit Hotel Nikko introduced its newest addition Tosca, a superb Italian restaurant located at the hotel’s mezzanine. The evening was a perfect illustration of Italian culture and heritage through the restaurant’s most delectable selection of Italian cuisine and of course the ambiance. Guests were welcomed by the Dusit Hotel Nikko’s remarkable General Manager Ikuo Itoi, Philippine Hoteliers President Gerhard Kropp, and most outstanding Resident Manager Frank Grassmann. A line-up of the most brilliant opera talents, opera singer Juan Alberto Gaerlan

and pianist Ceejay Javier, entertained the guests with classic Italian songs after being introduced by Tosca’s revered Chef Alessio Loddo. Many of the guests were given the opportunity to win fantastic prizes such as free accommodations at the Dusit Hotel Nikko, complementary use of DFiT fitness studio and a fabulous wine dinner for two at Tosca. It was truly an enjoyable evening at Tosca in the Dusit Hotel Nikko, Cheers to Tosca!
