The space is gorgeous AND the food excels

Covet2.jpgThis new supper club really goes the distance. The upstairs restaurant is nice on the eyes but Chef John Keller hits this one out of the park. Dish after dish there were no disappointments Do you know what a Shishoto Pepper is??? I didn’t. But let me tell you, there is nothing hot and spicy about it and if you are a garlic lover, indulge! Pork Bellies cooked to perfection with crispy skins on the outside and tender on the inside. I could go on and on but you should check it out for yourself. And when you are done sending your taste buds into a tizzy check out the downstairs club. Ski lodge meets Playboy Mansion, cozy, comfy and rockin’ out the tunes. Hey did I mention the $160 drink…

Loft Party Tips

When renting a private event space that doesn’t come with catering, keep in mind what needs to be brought in. Remember the space only comes with 4 walls and a floor so when getting a price from the caterer, make sure it includes, obviously the food, but also the rentals, (tables, chairs, dishes, glasses, etc.), all beverages and staffing. Your linens and florals will probably come from the decorator. The beauty of going in this direction is so to start with a clean palette and end with your dream space.

The Whitney Museum Spins Vinyl

For those of you who think that museums are boring and nothing but art to show, hold onto your horses… The Whitney Museum has an awesome party space downstairs with an outside garden. The promotion party included a hip young disc jockey spinning vinyl, (yes apparently that still exists), and the lighting was way high tech. The food ranged from mac and cheese, not the kind that comes in a box from Kraft, to home made caramel lollipops. And how can you go wrong with some funky art to dress up the space???

Trump Soho Goes SoHi

Trump Soho 1-1.JPGLocated 1 block west of Soho this new Trump Mega-giant has come through with flying colors. Keeping with the cool slick vibe of the neighborhood, the hotel is draped in warm soft tones and contrasting materials. But we didn’t come here for the lobby, we came for the party…For a few of us that only lasts until 8:00 p.m. for after that the hotel’s lounge, Kastels, becomes a “guest list only” door policy. So as usual, it’s not what you know but who you know. However, for the few of us of lesser priviledge, the 2nd floor library is the perfect place for before / after dinner drinks if combining your dinner plans with the wonderful Quattro restaurant. But the icing on the cake is spread out on the 46th floor where you are awed by the floor to ceiling windows encompassing the magnificent views of the city. Trump once wrote a book called “The Way to the Top”, I wonder if this is what he meant.

I was going to post photos of the hotel but when Ivanka showed up, I thought you would prefer to see her.

Stay tuned for my weekly updates of the latest and greatest….
