Kicking Off Summer with Carlisle and Bakes & Kropp

On Wednesday, May 29, the Bakes & Kropp New York City showroom played host to a festive start to the summer building season, as we partnered with Carlisle Wide Plank Floors for “NYC 2025 Summer Kickoff,” our post-Memorial Day builders bash. Designed as a relaxed networking event, the evening brought together local contractors, builders, and industry professionals for an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime following the holiday weekend.

The event struck the perfect balance between business and casual conversation. Guests were treated to mouthwatering pulled pork courtesy of Pig Beach BBQ, perfectly paired with a curated selection of craft beers from Barrier Brewing Co. The inviting atmosphere encouraged plenty of networking, new introductions, and valuable conversations about upcoming projects, industry trends, and ways to collaborate.

Carlisle Wide Plank Floors showcased their beautiful flooring samples throughout the showroom, giving attendees a first-hand look at their craftsmanship and wide range of offerings. Meanwhile, Bakes & Kropp’s luxury cabinetry displays provided the perfect backdrop to highlight the potential for future design partnerships.

We’re grateful to everyone who attended and helped make this joint event a success. Events like these are an important part of how we continue building lasting relationships within our industry. Stay tuned for more gatherings as we move through the busy summer season!
