Even though you know I love Petula Clark, I really don't like to go "Downtown". And that's not a euphemism. Or maybe it is. In any event, I had a professional development event at the Down Town Association and it was okay. Conveniently located right across from the Pine St entrance to the Wall St 2/3 train station, this is a beautiful old building with a stunning staircase. My meeting room was on the 3rd floor and I got to peek into some of the rooms/salons on my way up. Some gorgeous sitting rooms, library-type rooms..very old school. The meeting room was comfortable, a little old and worn, but nice enough. They had sandwiches, which were okay. The only problem was there were no napkins. Am I supposed to wipe my mouth or hands on my pants? I mean, I'd expect that in Philadelphia, but in NYC? Come on. Again, I don't like going downtown because it takes forever to get there (like 20 minutes!) but if there were another meeting here, I'd go because this is a cool spot.

We were invited here for the 18th annual Sailor's Ball by our friends at Versace. The building is an amazing structure tucked into Pine St and has fantastic architecture throughout. We were greeted upon entering and, after taking some red carpet shots, allowed to explore the various, themed rooms on the first 3 floors. Since we had invites to the pre-ball dinner we made our way to the Mount Gay themed room and grabbed a few cocktails and then waited for our friends to arrive. The dinner was served by a very attentive and courteous staff and consisted of mushroom risotto appetizer, veal piccata main course and tiramisu for dessert. Mark LoPresti, who was chairing the ball, even brought out vintage wines from his own cellar which were great, particularly the Valpolicella. After dinner they had several rooms playing different styles of music to dance to and a casino themed room with the proceeds going to charity. All in all it was a great night at a historic venue and for a good cause.

Really good service & ambiance. It was such a cozy vibe. I…read morehad the arancini, cacio e Pepe ravioli, mousse, & tiramisu. I would recommend the arancini & tiramisu

I was honestly surprised by my experience. The biggest disappointment was the food, it was…read moreincredibly bland. I'm very sensitive to salt and am known for undersalting my own cooking, so I rarely think food is under-seasoned. But it genuinely felt like no salt was used in the kitchen here. We came for my birthday, and my partner only selected "birthday" on the reservation because the reservation app specifically asked whether we were celebrating an occasion. We were not requesting a birthday dessert or any special treatment. Then, when we arrived, our server asked if we were celebrating anything, and we simply answered, "Yes." A little later, the server brought out a scoop of ice cream that we never ordered, requested, or even hinted that we wanted. To our surprise, we were then charged $12 for it. At no point did anyone mention that the dessert was an item we would be paying for. Had we known it wasn't complimentary, we never would have indicated it was my birthday on the reservation or answered the server's question. We didn't even eat the ice cream because we hadn't wanted dessert in the first place. Rather than make a scene, we paid the charge, but it left a very negative impression. It's frustrating to be billed for something you never ordered, especially when the only reason your birthday was mentioned at all was because the reservation app and the server asked. A birthday shouldn't result in an unexpected charge for an unsolicited dessert.
