Dances of Vice

We attended the Dance of Vice Vinietian Masquerade Valentines Ball. It was black tie, victorian or borque theme dress code. Tickets were available online.
The place: hidden behind the walls of nyc’s financial district is this gorgeous Victorian mansion. Looks like a movie set with all the gorgeous paintings, crown molding, winding wooden staircase, fabulous lighting & candelabras, wood & marble everywhere, all the gorgeous rooms like the ballroon, reading room with a large fireplace, sunken gathering room with a huge bar and when you first walk in… the gorgeous foryer… decorated with victorian furniture & antiques through out!
The party: Everyone looked so nice, people who are serious about a theme! They had bars set up in each room, and a room on the first floor had a huge wooden bar. No waiting for dranksss… cheers! Smooth operation… took us about 10 minutes to check in & coat check. Friendly greeters kept everything moving fast & everyone out of the cold! Bars took only drink tickets, purchase tickets when you check in or next to each bar… mixed drinks were $ 12 each… beer, wine & non alcoholic drinks were cheaper.
Entertainment: there was something going on ALL the time… in everyroom… fire dancers, opera singers, performers walking around in amazing costumes, violinist playing to top 40 songs, cello player, dancers & human candle holders. They also had a photo station with a Victorian curtain back drop, printed the photos for you & emailed them… $ 5 bucks!
Parking wasn’t a problem.
Unisex bathroom… yikes…worked out… bathroom was freakin enormous… weird & fun taking bathroom selfies with my honey!
Unforgettable Valentines day… especially since we had the pleasure of seeing ms. veronica varlow in the secret vip room… sssshhhhh…its a secret!
