I attended an absolutely wonderful catering/event showcase here last night -- it was a chance for guests to enjoy the event space and sample items from Block 41's preferred caterers and vendors (valet, live music, sweet treats, photographers, audio/visual, florists, and so on -- all were on display, some with little take-home goodies like s'mores-covered giant marshmallows on a stick! Check out the website for more details). It is a gorgeous space, in a great location, with a lot of unusual little details, one example being the secret garden in the Courtyard; definitely had a European vibe to it that I loved. Would highly recommend this space for anyone needing to host an event -- corporate, private, even photo shoots (like making a yoga video).
The caterer sponsoring the event -- Cameron Catering -- in particular was serving absolutely delicious Middle eastern cuisine of chicken tagine with couscous (the theme last night was "A Global Street Fair). One thing that really struck me was their slogan, "Where Food Celebrates Life".
TL DR: I have missed out on many celebrations over the years due to various health issues, the cocoon of being a stay at home parent, but most importantly - I used to decline invitations to things like this out of fear of looking the wrong way, saying the wrong thing, or what have you. The magic of the evening has really gotten me excited about putting myself out there again!
