Last December, we hosted a wonderful milestone birthday with a little holiday flair.

Fashion blogger Ellese Launer turns 30th on Christmas Day. She and friends joined us in the Shed to celebrate her milestone birthday.

The Ambiance:

Our decor is inspired by comfort. With an upscale barn like feel — we’ve turned every corner into a country hideaway. The birthday girl Ellese Launer from Rock Paper Glam wrote ↓

A very rare combination you won’t find anywhere else in New York City. The moment you walk through the big heavy doors, you’re taken out of the city and placed in a beautiful oasis. Especially with the number of private rooms they have available for hosting private parties.

… Each ingredient is fresh and often bought from the local farmers market. My mouth is salivating just thinking about it.

In a private room, they started the feast with sabering champagne, and every type of crafted cocktails you could imagine. Topping it off with a four-course meal everyone is able to enjoy (even the gluten intolerant).

When booking a private event, Chef John Doherty takes it up a notch by curating a special menu that marries into your evening. We booked ‘The Shed’ which seats up to 20 — and had a dozen lovely ladies and one dashing gentleman fill the space.

After some drinks and toasts we started on our four-course meal which included a lot of vegetarian, gluten-free, and options for carnivores. A colorful assortment of meats — from seafood to beef, chicken, and lamb. Dinner parties here are served family style, so everyone gets to share in all the dishes they desire.
