I love the sunshine. There is no doubt that warm weather puts a spring in my step, a smile on my face and a sweet tan on my Italian skin. Spring is a lovely time, but often brings rain and seasonal allergies, and to me is sort of like a waiting period…a tease of what’s [...]

“Blooming” Business, by Erin
Despite my passion for everything winter—long weekends in Vermont, fireside naps, cups of Jacques Torres’ Wicked Hot Chocolate, over-sized sweaters, and oodles of Kimberly’s comfort food—I am more than ready to bid adieu to the slopes and embrace a few sunny afternoons in Prospect Park. The Dinner Belle, much like this new spring season, is [...]

A Worldly and Worthy Winter, by Erin
While the cold winter weather and too many sugar cookies may have some of you in hibernation mode, The Dinner Belle has been burning up calories, adding many new and exciting logs to our growing fire this snowy season.
Kimberly and I were both fortunate to spend our New Year’s celebrations in Vermont, albeit [...]

Crush-a-belle: Forever Po, by Erin
For the past four years in a row, my Man and I have been ringing in our “anniversary” at Po. No we’re not married (yet!), but we are staunch sentimentalists and love celebrating the anniversary of our first date, and if you must know, our very first kiss, which we shared [...]

Fall Food, Fashion & Farmhouses, by Erin
While this past summer may have proved quiet and lazy for some, The Dinner Belle has been working non-stop, steadily growing our client base and consistently catering events through the hottest months, leading up to our busiest fall season yet!
What sort of events, you may ask, could possibly top Topshop? While I may [...]

Food, Inc.
Celest taught me to believe in box office ratings. She makes the argument that box office profits on opening weekends make a big impact on what sort of films get produced and released, and she spends her movie money accordingly. Obviously, the power of the purse persuades the powerful in Hollywood to make movies audiences [...]

Go Green! A Conscientious Dining List, (Part II) by Erin
11. Best Catering Company Gone Restaurant: The Green Table
Located in the Chelsea Markets and associated with The Cleaver Co., this spot seats famously intimate meals with the likes of the Dali Lama and Martin Scorcese. Known for their eye-candy and taste bud-pleasing food that satisfies. They are one of the top three green caterers [...]

Go Green! A Conscientious Dining List, by Erin
In honor of our nation’s new frontier , I’m doing my part to change the country the best way I know how…by dining out…green! Okay, I know the words “green,” “sustainable,” and “local” are thrown around as frequently as Rachel Ray’s “Yum-o!” these days, but this list promises to inform and correct any misconceptions about [...]

New York Tastes Better with Belle, by Erin
2008 was such an exciting year for The Dinner Belle, and with the launch of our new website and exciting gigs with TOPSHOP, The Society and The Supper Club coming up later this month, 2009 promises to be even brighter!

Proud Members of Society, by Erin
I know it’s a little early for Halloween and (except for Celest) wearing twelve strands of pearls at once is overkill, but Kimberly and I had the great fortune to play dress up recently, channel our innermost Daisy Buchannans, and venture from the West Village to “West Egg” for a fabulous party.
It took some persuading [...]
