Read this on perlamente.com—dedicated
to discovering the universe of creative experiences.
Few cities evoke more wonder and mystery than Venice, a coastal
metropolis known for its music, history, and art. Violinist and event
curator Adriana Molello traveled to the fantastic Italian destination
earlier this year, and it inspired her to create an evening of
performances stateside, in collaboration with Atlas Obscura and media
partner Per La Mente.
It was a marvelous night of dancing, drinks, and divine
entertainment. Guests experienced a multi-level, multicultural event
with classical music, belly dancers, a Guzheng performer, a Balkan
band, and much more. An outdoor bar serving Fernet-Branca
cocktails and mulled wine kept guests warm and their palates whetted.
Attendees also enjoyed an aromatic feast, as chefs used an abundance of
rosemary, basil, thyme, and other herbs to create delectable hors
d’oeuvres and pasta.
Aside from its regal appearance, the castle features a freshwater
aquifer and functioning cisterns — not unlike Venice, where water is an
integral part of city infrastructure. The one-of-a-kind evening spanned
a variety of cultures, musical genres, and improvised stages, blurring the
lines between audience and performers. We’re sure this
Venetian-inspired night will be on people’s minds for a long time to
come.

Happier Hour

As
amazing as NYC's cocktail game is, we have to admit that it can get a little
pricey to be out as often as we wanna be out.
That's why we're
super hyped about Hooch, a “ClassPass for drinks" that offers users a
complimentary “first drink” every day at hundreds of top-shelf bars and
restaurants worldwide for just $9.99/month—basically, the price of one
drink!
It sounds almost
too good to be believed, but this is one boozy Christmas dream come true!
|
|
That's a Wrap!
2017
is almost over, and before we really dig into making those far-reaching new
year's resolutions a reality, we've got celebrating to do!
It should come
as no surprise at all, that there is tons going on around here for
the New Year, beyond the Times Square ball drop. Cabernet parties, firework
cruises, and more! Check out some suggestions, on us!
