On April 3, 2018, a VIP crowd gathered at Katana in River North to celebrate Michigan Avenue’s March/April issue with cover star Malin Akerman. More than 500 partygoers enjoyed sushi and robata hors d'oeuvres prepared by Katanas chefs while sipping on Maker's Mark manhattans —prepared with Antica Formula sweet vermouth—Toki Highballs, and Peroni beer. Eli's Cheesecake created a custom cheesecake for the celebratory event. Guests danced to tunes provided by DJ duo Dope Katz and cheesed for the MAE Plastic Surgery-branded selfie photo booth.
