Beyond Yelp – Luxury Hotels, Fine Dining, Black Tie Socials & More
The Social Diary enjoys a festive garden party, where a fashionable head topper is just as important as the attire! Therefore, The Redwood Library Garden Party in Newport this past Sunday did not disappoint! What a fantastic way to end the summer in Newport than with an early evening soirée among friends!
The Social Diary was back at The Elms for the Four-in-hand driving demonstration on Saturday, thus concluding “A Weekend of Coaching” for public consumption. It was the perfect weather…sort of…as the sun peaked, heating up the procession. The membership “tent” promised via email denied to many members! So members, including Premium level Patrons and Benefactors sat in the hot sun, whilst shaded under the tent were donors and invited guests!
Fans of the hit HBO period drama, The Gilded Age welcomed Christine Baranski to The Elms on Thursday, August 7th. The consummate actor brought light and humour, and insight to her character, Agnes van Rhijn. In season three of The Gilded Age, we see Mrs. van Rhijn adjusting to her new role.
The Social Diary spent the evening with the New York Times for an honest conversation about our Canine BFFs. Moreover, this was an American Express Platinum evening, In Celebration of Dogs.
The Great Gatsby revisited, with an evening with Sam Waterston at Rosecliff to discuss his iconic 1974 film. Another “feather in the cap” for the Preservation Society of Newport.
The classic “underdog” story takes a turn in F1: The Movie, a superbly choreographed “thrill ride” from start to finish.
The Social Diary attended the special screening of Karate Kid: Legends, which felt more like a reboot or a redux of a reboot, depending on how you look at it. As a stand alone feature Karate Kid: Legends works. But as a continuing saga in the Karate Kid franchise, not so much.
The Social Diary had the pleasure of attending the Opening Reception this past Friday, in honour of this year’s Coaching Weekend in Newport. Viewing The Fairman Rogers Four-in-Hand by Thomas Eakins at the Redwood Library was indeed a special treat. Coupled with the delightful photo of Bill Cunningham in Newport, in his “trademark” bright blue jacket.
The high tea misnomer continues to rear its ugly head in America. Let’s be clear “high tea” is not afternoon tea with dainty “finger” foods such as sandwiches, savouries and sweets. High tea refers to a hearty meal served to labourers after a hard day’s work. Usually served between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm.
Great Friends Meeting House in Newport was an ideal “rustic” venue for Ji Su Jung percussion performance. Additionally, this community concert series brought to you by Newport Classical, and presented by BankNewport is free and open to the public.
