Best.Party.Ever.
The Kentucky Derby Party at Eleven Madison Park was Off the Charts Awesome and we were luckier than I’ll Have Another, who won the first two legs of the Triple Crown by taking the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes but on the day before the Belmont Stakes, was scratched due to tendonitis. Thus, ending his chances of winning the Triple Crown, and retired from racing.
When we were first invited, all I knew about the Derby was that hats are a must and black is off limits. I am jewish after all and we don’t typically attend Derby Parties. And so I set out to find the perfect Derby attire fitting such an event. That said, this party was beyond my expectations!
The fantastic space…
The sea of fabulous hats…
and even more Fabulous ladies (-;
Not one but 2 live bands playing inside and out; The Crooners and The Defibulators…
A raw bar overflowing with oysters, moonshine mignonette, shrimp, lobster and stone crabs…
I tried them all!
and the chicken, it was the tastiest fried chicken and waffles I’ve ever had…
An outdoor cigar bar…
More Mint Juleps than you can possibly drink in one afternoon or, lifetime.
And did I mention the candy bar with mint julep macaroons, lollypops, cotton candy and oh so much more goodies…
By the time the race started we were all too ready to pause and take a break from all the festivities…well some of us were.
Thank you Boys & I’ll Have Another!?
