"The Martha Stewart Show" wrap party -- come see my photos!

After many long hours and a lot of hard work, my television crew and I celebrated the successful end of season 3.   The wrap party was held on the rooftop of the Starrett Lehigh building  overlooking the beautifully scenic Hudson River, with about 200 in attendance.  The weather cooperated and the sunset was spectacular.  Food was provided by Rickshaw Dumpling Bar www.rickshawdumplings.com - yum-yum – served with Chinese beer.  Music poured through speakers with selections from employees IPODs – talk about an interesting and eclectic mix.  Those who felt like it danced and it looks like everyone had a very good time, including myself.  Until next season!!

Martha:)
The photos are amazing. Everyone looked like they were having a blast. Joey Kola was really cute. I think he is a teddy bear anyway. The sunset was spectacular.
This season was really great and I know that season 4 will be even better.
Enjoy your summer and hurry back with more great shows and lots of new craft, recipes and ideas for making our everyday better.

I think you should have invited Martha fans to the wrap party a new twist!!!!!
Maybe next year aye NOT!

Looks like a beautiful night and everyone is happy and having fun.
Vinnetta looks so much like her sis.
Did you dance with Joey K?He'd better stay away from the edge of that roof!

Good to see Hannah.

Can't wait until season 4 hurry up summer lol!

Have a safe and good Memorial Day weekend, guess you will be off to Skylands- enjoy.

Looks to be a nice party.
So just dumplings & drinks????
I would want bunches of dipping sauce....

Congrats to all on a season well done. When do you all come back? Before September, I hope.

[Joy]

Congratulations on your continued success with the show! Lovely pictures, it feels like we're there at the party, too. :) Cheers.

Everyone seems to have enjoyed themselves very much! What a lovely way to end the season with good food, good drinks and a beautiful sunset.

Thanks for the photo's. I am so happy that there were photo's of Joey Kola. I would love to see a bio of Joey. He's so much fun on the show.

Martha - congratulations on another great season. I've been to your show a few times and make sure I record it everyday. All I can say is that it's a great show, entertaining, informative and you address important issues facing people in their everyday lives. Whether you provide information on helping the environment, our pets, ourselves or just making a better cookie, I always seem to get something useful out of the show. I thank you and your crew, you all do a great job.

Congratulations on another great season. I hope you enjoy your time off (like teachers enjoy their summers off!) Try not to think about work!

[Nan Ashby]

Thanks for a Great Season 3. I've learned so much and have enjoyed every show. My niece and nephew just graduated from high school. Guess all of you and the crew feel like celebrating the season as they do. Keep us informed about all the beloved animals and your many well earned adventures. Can't wait for Season 4. Nan

I really enjoy seeing all these personal photos. Thank you for making a television program that informs and teaches all. I am about Martha's age and just lost my mother too. I can really relate. She died on Mother's Day just a week ago.

Martha, you must have special ordered the perfect sunset weeks in advance!

There is nothing quite as rewarding as a beautiful moment along the Hudson River. It is one of my favorite places to sketch/paint/draw. We even used a few of my pieces from "the million dollar view" along the Hudson for our wedding invitations seven years ago!

Thanks for reminding me of my love for that river!!! Hmmm... I think the she needs her own cocktail!

Thanks for the peek of a great party!

Hi Martha,
It looks like it was a great party! I was wondering though, what kind of camera do you use?? It takes wonderful pictures!!

Thanks for everything you do!

That party looked amazing. I would love to work on that crew.

[Robin Ball]

Wonderful views of NYC that many of us would love to see in person. You should be getting a little remuneration from the tourist department! Martha and staff thanks for a great year. Looking forward to next year. I really enjoy the quick cooking spots and thanks for reminding me how much I love Joan Rivers! Get a little rest.

[Mica]

Great and well deserved party! I hope Lincoln only had one beer before he drove you guys back.

[Trish]

What a great rooftop; the only thing missing is a swimming pool! I am amazed at the number of people it takes to produce a show and these people are the best because they help produce your show! I almost didn't recognize Sean Styer, the Monte Crisco (sp) sandwich guy. The scenery reminds me of the Apprentice Martha Stewart, including the sunset. Great photos! Trish

[Margie]

Congratulations for a great year and an excellent show. Come back and do it again this fall. We will be waiting. Thanks to all.
Question, what does everyone do all summer? Enjoy what ever you do.

[Sherey]

Thanks to you and all your staff for a job well done! We look forward to the next season. What a lovely spot to hold a party...plenty of space and the lovely sunset. Wishing you and your talented staff an amazing Summer!

[Andrew Ritchie]

Looks like fun, Martha! The sunset is gorgeous!

Hi again Martha, I just got through watching today's show about children that you remanenced with. It made me realize that children are so teachable and do remember their mentors. You are so good at connecting with them. As a retired teacher I'm connected to your show and blog. It really helps me to appreciate so much that I was for granted. This year was sad at times with the loss of your Mother and PawPaw; but your steadfast character warmed my heart and I really appreciate your example. Love, Nan

[Amy]

Great season Martha & Crew! You deserve such a fantastic wrap party. I'll enjoy the reruns this summer and watching online, but I'm sure a great Season 4 will be here soon enough.

Hey, is Patty Labelle coming back? She has to be one of my favorite guests--Patty and Martha play off each other very well, and she seems like a VERY nice lady.

Woo hoo!! Enjoy your summer!!

Amy

Hi Martha, All good things must come to an end and this blog shows all of us who love your show a fantastic wrap up of a fantastic show. You have the best crew who put on the best show on TV! I recognise quite a few of your fabulous crew and it's great to see photos of others from behind the scenes. Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend and a great summer. Can't wait for September and the start of season four. Thanks again for sharing. Jan
