Planning a private event in NYC has got to be one of the most stressful endeavors… EVER! [And no, I’m not being dramatic] Just recently, I stumbled upon Select Dining and hosted a dinner party. Lucky for me, Select Dining saved me from developing a few [a whole lot] of gray hairs by just being absolutely remarkable. All I really cared for was the dinner menu, but the event team led me through details that I would have otherwise over looked and forgotten had it not been for them.(Plate settings, centerpieces, music, lighting, staff, and seating arrangements— this is not your grandmother’s house, so candles and bounty napkins just won’t cut it). It was great to have professional support that was able to deliver a refined and polished version of my vision. The food was impeccable! As a resident NYC foodie and cook, I could not stress just how important it was for my guests to have the BEST food. The menu is customizable, which of course was music to my ears. I opted for a sophisticated twist on comfort food. The chef did not disappoint. I still have thoughts of the crab cakes and baby lamb chops. Located in Midtown, the venue was very accessible for the few guests I had coming in from out of town and not to mention the awe-inspiring views of Manhattan.(Why else is this town so magical?). Overall, Select Dining delivered on all fronts and I was floored at the ease of the night. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for another personal or work event.
