Rec | HOSTING OLD-FASHIONED DINNER PARTIES

🍽️

Don't make it fancy. Don't overthink it. You don't even have to cook. It's just about creating and protecting a physical space for beloved luminaries to gather and connect and be themselves. Bonus points if you give rise to a literary movement and cultural renaissance in the process.

Hosting dinner parties with your friends

A restaurant around the corner from us started doing private dinners, and with my wife’s 30th birthday happening I asked to see what the process would be like. We packed 14 of our closest friends into this gorgeous, tiny little refurbished car garage filled with flowers and wine and Italian music and proceeded to have one of the best five course meals of my life. Moments like last night sort of get you in a “maybe this is what life is all about” moods. There’s an artist I like that said all of life’s essence & purpose can be found in the sound of wine glasses clinging together at a table filled with good friends and good food. I think that nights like last night cement those sentiments as truth.

Projections during dinner parties

I really enjoy cooking for people I love, and throwing a dinner party that runs late. A good playlist is key, but if you really want to set a tone, I highly suggest projecting a film (without the audio) to sync with it. My personal favorite is “Le Planet Sauvage.”
