ORE than 1,000 guests – the majority being singles – attended the seventh annual peace market of Seeds of Peace at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan. They partied to support an organization that seeks to empower a younger generation to resolve disputes in various regions of the world, including the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Among the boldface names we spotted were Ashley Bush, daughter of Neil Bush and granddaughter of George H. W. Bush; Vasuki Sunkavalli of India, Miss Universe 2011; Jaime Cepero of the NBC series Smash; fashion designer Steven Alan; comedian David Cross of the Fox series Arrested Development and his fiancée, Amber Tamblyn of the film Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and TV series House.

There were tons of delectables from a variety of restaurants and shops, including Fairway, Dylan’s Candy Bar, Nassau Candy and Pranna. High profile chefs judged a hummus taste-off. Some of the eager young singles in the crowd seemed more interested in each other than the vast array of food.
