On hand inside were Kanye West, Roc Nation artist Rita Ora and Ryan Leslie, who all enjoyed a short N.E.R.D. set that included new single "Hot-n-Fun," old favorite "Lapdance" and an as-yet unreleased cut entitled "Party People."

At Bloomngdale's, the Black Eyed Peas own Taboo - in town to launch his new TabooXJump shoe line - staged an impromptu concert after asking the DJ to play his hit song "I Gotta Feeling," and thrilled fans by teaching them a few hip-hop dance moves.

Funk-soul starlet Janelle Monae headlined an exclusive event at the Ralph Lauren store, where Jessica Alba, new Knicks star Amar'e Stoudemire and Vogue contributing editor Andre Leon Talley were also in attendance. There she performed her singles "Tightrope," "Cold War" and a cover of Charlie Chaplin's "Smile."
