Week of December 31st, 2018

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.
