Saturday, January 5th: Caffe Taci Opera Night
Hidden away on the second floor of Bistro Papillon on E. 54th, lies Caffe Taci, a space that transforms into a performance space for professional opera singers every Saturday night. Maestro Leopoldo Mucci has presided over this gathering for a few decades, and this past Saturday our group was there to participate in the experience.

NYEE 2018
Sunday, December 30th: The Salon's New Year's Eve Eve Party
Some say New Year's Eve is amateur night; that's 'cause all the dames n' dapper gents know the real party is the night before - at The Salon - what we like to call NEW YEAR's EVE EVE.
In what has now become one of our favorite annual traditions, a group of revelers attended Patrick Soluri's 11th annual NYEE extravaganza. We returned to the stunning and exclusive private club from the gilded age... The Players Club in Gramercy Square. A spectacular lineup of over 30 performers delighted and dazzled us all. It is difficult to pick a favorite, but the King Solomon Hicks Quartet who took over the front parlor with sultry sounds of Blues & Swing, deserve a special mention.

Saturday, December 1st, 2018: Anything Box Concert
The 80s were alive and well in Newark, NJ at Club XTC for the Anything Box concert. The electro/synthpop group hails from New Jersey, and frontman Claude Strilio was thrilled to be back in his old stomping grounds. The band's name comes from the title of a book of short stories by Zenna Henderson, The Anything Box. In the title story, a young girl imagines the world as she would have it, apparently by staring at an empty space between her hands. Her school teacher discovers that the box is invisible, but real.
The setlist was fantastic, and they played all of our favorites, most notably Jubilation, When We Lie, Soul on Fire, Kiss of Love, and the worldwide hit, Living in Oblivion.
The opening band, Korine, (the members of which looked very, very young) deserve a shout out as well.

This annual event gathers 5,000 people in a secret location for a dinner where all dress in white. In addition to our own food, guests must provide our own tables, chairs, linens, table settings and décor. The sky is the limit, as long as you can cart it to the mystery spot...
