A Halloween Soirée
Entertaining has changed a lot due to the current state of the world. No longer are we packing into crowded bars or hosting 20+ people on the weekends. Adapting and only having small gatherings to keep ourselves and others safe does not mean you can’t make it elegant, cozy, and memorable. And of course, we love any occasion to dress up and look out best!

Each Holiday season we spend a day at the world-famous Rockefeller Center ice skating under the most famous tree in the world. I book an early morning brunch at The Sea Grill, which is straight out of an enchanted Hallmark Christmas show. We prefer the 8:30 am seating while the city is still somewhat quiet on a Sunday morning.
