The holiday season is about more than parties and food: It's about giving back. Why not do all three? At this benefit cocktail party, you can dig into hors d'oeuvres from Japoix (pictured) and desserts by Sugar Bakeshop; sip festive drinks; groove to DJ-spun tunes; and watch magic tricks. Don't forget to stop by the photo booth (in case you're in need of a wacky holiday card) and local vendors (think Stella & Dot, Twirl, and Dare Boutique) to get a leg up on your holiday shopping. Proceeds benefit youth-focused nonprofits.Wed 6-9 p.m.
