I was out at the Beverly Hills Hotel the other night and I noticed a group of people having quite the time as they enjoyed a game of Backgammon and bottle service. The men and women were truly having a blast and enjoying the evening. This made me think...wait for it...we have to bring back board games! However in a very cool manner.
The game night could be hosted anywhere, although a rather posh Dorchester property does aide in making the board game night rather chic.
Your job as the host, is to create an evening that is elegant and fun, almost cheeky, like the title of this blog, "Martinis & Monopoly" or "Black-tie Twister" (I know it's not technically a board game).
Serve cocktails that coordinate with the game you are featuring, the classic highball is a great choice: Seagram's 7 and ginger ale with a twist, serve on Monopoly money coasters.
Make sure you have comfortable seating -one could even bring the party down to another level, set it up on the floor with silver ice buckets and comfortable cushions and pillows (perfect night to rock a smoking jacket).
Ladies love games, so by the end of the night the lucky host may get to pass Go, but I don't think you'll be getting money.
