HighLife Clambake

The HighLife Team celebrated the 4th of July this year in style. This lush garden pergola on a private estate in Bedford Hills was transported to southern Italy and the design reminiscent of lazy summer days on vineyards in Tuscany. Polished hammered steel lanterns candle lit, blossoming bouquets overflowing on table top, and a sumptuous family-style New England clambake were featured for this decadent sit down dinner for 45 people. HighLife collaborators the RAPT KITCHEN and BRENTON WOLF DESIGN delivered the primest selections of cuisine and floral display. Deep fried panko oysters, tuna tartar, and market heirloom bruschetta were just some of the delicious canapes. A watermelon and lavender martini with fresh mint and daisy started the evening off in style as guests enjoyed cocktails and canapes on the verandah. Finally, as the sunset guests were invited to sit at this remarkable table and enjoy a classic New England Clambake consisting of fresh Maine lobsters, shrimp, clams, mussels, corn-on-the-cob, chorizo, new potatoes, and sea brine. Capping off the night, guests dined on homemade ice cream sundaes and Momofuku custom cakes and pies. Don’t forget the 4th of July Fireworks!

Very soon, the Holidays will be underway

we’ll dance through the halls, tease with our eyes
and around each corner, yet another surprise..
So deck yourself out and save “the halls” for later.
The night is approaching so please, do not be coy

Guests were then escorted throughout the space to taste and sip on Farm-To-Table mixology such as the “Snowball Sling” and the “Snuggle Tea” among others. Soothing holiday jazz filled the air from jazz duo “Acute Inflections” while later in the evening a high-energy DJ provided the beat for this party to go all night.
