On August 5 and August 6, 2021, the legendary Hamptons hotspot will highlight a special menu in collaboration with The Rosewood Mayakoba. Paying homage to Mexico’s diverse culinary heritage, T-Bar will offer a selection of Mexican wine and cocktails from Rosewood’s newest bar concept Zapote Bar.

A portion of proceeds from the takeover will benefit the local school Centro Educativo K’iin Beh, which the hotel proudly supports in Playa del Carmen.

Then coming up August 20, the Collaborating for a Cure Ladies Luncheon, an annual event benefitting the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation, will take place at the restaurant.

The luncheon will honor philanthropist Jean Shafiroff for her continual support of SWCRF and a live fashion show by renowned designer Kobi Halperin, who will showcase his Fall 2021 fashions and introduce his newest blouse collection. 

“For the past seven years the Ladies Luncheon was held in May at a private residence but had to be cancelled last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Marion Waxman, chair of the event. “Now with most people vaccinated, we are thrilled to bring donors and supporters together again, to raise vital funds for cancer research.
