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.
