We are helping produce and directing the cocktail program for the 10th Anniversary of The Salon (http://www.thesalon.biz ) party. This year the  Salon instigators are celebrating the music of Frank Sinatra by getting his old band back together for a unique evening. The band includes jazz greats: Bucky Pizzarelli, Derek Smith, Jerry Bruno and Jimmie Young. Plus special Guest Tony Sotos. Watch our video w/exclusive interviews: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4tl73W6sM4

The event runs from 7pm to 1 am on Friday March 11th.  Doors open at 7pm for a three course dinner seating on the main floor and at 8pm for general admission which includes Top Shelf Open bar. Loungerati's Fredo will be creating a cocktail menu that is part classic and part Sinatra hey day period cocktails.

THE STORY
For The Salon's 10th Anniversary extravaganza, we're pulling out all the stops... we've put together a band featuring four musicians who played with Ol' Blue Eyes himself, along with some of the best singers on today's scene, performing their favorite tunes from the Sinatra Songbook.

We also have a few of our favorite bands from the last decade, and some of NY's top Burlesque dancers and Mixologists. Don't forget the open bar all night long and free hors d'oeuvres. Everything is included, and we mean everything - tips, taxes and coat check. All of this and more at the beautifully restored 1930's Edison Ballroom, which boasts one of the best dance floors in NYC. Some might suggest this night will be historic; What can we say... we just like a swank party.
