Slideshow: Melrose Market Studios
SLIDESHOW: Opening night (at least for the wedding industry) at Melrose Market Studios on Capitol Hill.
What’s with the "s" in Studios? I’m assuming that has to do with the theater curtains that allow guests to cordon sections of the studio, and thus create studio_s_.
On the night of the party, the Melrose Market team had old time movies projected on the wall, and expert lighting playing off of Celeste Cooning’s practically famous cut-paper creations.
In the front of the venue, underneath Taylor Shellfish and Homegrown Sandwiches on Melrose Ave, there was a quiet, relaxed lounge area. I love this reception trend—it’s nice to have a place to escape to.
Like other spaces inside the Market, Melrose Market Studios has a cool industrial vibe that’d be easy to dress up or leave all alone.
And on to the food! Kaspars was serving sushi and empanadas—yeah, world peace!
Lisa Dupar’s short ribs were the talk of the party …
for those who weren’t talking about Ravishing Radish’s braised beef with pomegranates. (We heard the chef likes putting the fruit seeds on everything this time of year. Go for it!) Slow cooked meat: Winter 2011/2012 reception trend?
Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes did a fine job with some little mini pizza slices—and look, there’s the photographer David Wentworth. For a full list of Melrose Market Studios’ caterers, click here.
Of course, what’s a party without a photo booth? This one was from USnaps.
