FORTY ONE MADISON WILL GREET SUMMER NEW YORK GIFT SHOW BUYERS

Gift buyers and retail executives will find the Forty One Madison welcome mat out in its usual style for the Summer New York International Gift Fair. As has become its custom, the tableware building, where approximately 30 showrooms are open for show-goers, will offer complimentary mini-coach shuttle service between its East Side location at Madison and 26th Street and the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on the opposite side of the city, West 34th Street and Eleventh Avenue.

The service will begin at Forty One on Sunday, August 15, and continue through Wednesday, August 18, available during show hours, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. A single coach will make the round-trips on Sunday and Wednesday; but, a second coach will be added Monday and Tuesday, with twin departures at each location. The pick-up point at Forty One is the 26th Street side of the building; at Javits, it is the Concourse Level at 35th Street, beneath the underpass section of the Center.

Forty One Madison, a Rudin Building, is committed to the growth and support of the tableware and gift industries in New York.
