Bruno Mars Bruno Mars got together with friends at New York hotspot Beauty & Essex on Tuesday night to celebrate a birthday party for Philip Lawrence, his longtime writing partner. He raced over to the restaurant around midnight after his sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden. He was dressed in traditional Adidas shoes, an Adidas jacket, and his signature white fedora hat. When Philip arrived, everyone crowded around to sing Happy Birthday as he came up the staircase. Bruno was sure to be one of the first people that Philip saw as he ran to the front of the crowd. They enjoyed Beauty & Essex’s popular Lobster Tacos and 'Chile Relleno' Empanadas.
