It’s not every night you can dress up in all white, bring your own tablescape to the park and revel under the summer sky with a few thousand people.  Suffice it to say, this past weekend was one for the books.

This past Saturday, I got together with my partner-in-crime Roxy and our respective loves for PopUp Dinner Brooklyn. The rules were simple: dress up in all white, bring your own food, drinks and table décor and let the magic unfold.

So … maybe it was easier said than done considering how much we had to transport from Manhattan to Brooklyn.  After a morning of outfit, food and décor preparations, we ended up bringing a multi-course meal, homemade sangria assembled on site and a spectacular tablescape that included Roxy’s wedding china (would you expect anything less?).  All that was missing was one of her signature bar carts — but hey, there’s always next year!

Once we settled in and sangria’ed up, the evening was ours for the making.  We wined, we dined and we danced to a guest performance by Ben Folds.  I couldn’t have created a better evening if I tried.  It’s unexpected, awe-inspiring, over-the-top moments like this that make summer in the city truly spectacular.
