Space54 Dazzles with its Eclectic Winter Cocktail Party

by Ishan Wankavala February 4, 2023
written by Ishan Wankavala

Humankind has had a primordial gravitation towards the shiny and mystifying since its inception, and that urge is exactly what Space54 looks to invoke with its luminous space in East Midtown Manhattan. Not sure what to expect in my visit, I was pleasantly surprised by every delicate touch put into maintaining the experience for each guest.

A waitress presents a sample of the venue’s small bites

Several guests enjoying their time at Space54

Stepping into the locale, I was instantly met with ornate decor and vividly lit displays of food and drink. The lighting was dim but sharp, and had an electric energy that fueled me into a headspace I hadn’t felt in months. Everything had been meticulously arranged; nothing without purpose, and everything contributing to a wintry theme—bedazzled wreaths hanging on every wall, and glimmering metal snowflakes strung from the ceiling top. The word “ostentatious” came to my mind, but not in the negative sense—this place had embraced it, and had earned it.

A sample of the offerings at the sushi bar

These performers stole the show when they arrived

Several waiters and waitressed strolled around the perimeter with plates of food, including spinach puffs, beef tacos, and ceviche. The open bar was working nonstop with Space54’s own killer proprietary cocktails that utilized exotic fruits and tantalizing liquors. There was also a full open sushi bar, serving every variety of sushi I could imagine. I liked the avocado rolls best, dipped into soy sauce and some pickled ginger placed on top. I spent considerable time there.

A performer with her dazzling full-body costume

While enjoying the drinks and food, I could not help but admire the effort put forth by the personnel in creating exciting and memorable encounters for the guests. An employee was always ready to pick up my empty glass or plate. I could see dancers donning full embezzled costumes, wearing stunning two-foot jewel crowns, posing with guests in a convenient photo-op spot.
Later into the night, two dancers wearing show-stopping full reflective mosaic-mirror suits, complete with spherical Epcot-style helmets that gave an otherworldly appearance, entered the floor. My jaw simply hit the ground. I could only marvel at the sheer engineering, and as an extension, the effort put forth by the owners in creating an environment that transports you away.

Elvira Grau, the owner

I had a chance to talk to one of the owners, Elvira Grau. She, along with her husband Jim, founded the company Space Events, and opened Space54 in 2019. She was incredibly welcoming, and made sure I was having a good time in the limited time we spoke. She was extremely proud of her venue, and had clearly put the effort in to maintain the atmosphere to the highest degree. After she bid me farewell, I could see her walking up to attend to another guest.

My time at the Space54 location was an incredibly pleasant one. All of the guests were having a marvelous time, and the utmost attention was given to the smallest details to maintain the atmosphere and energy. They specialize in all types of events, from corporate outings to sweet 16s. Knowing how well they take care of guests, I know anyone who plans their event at Space54 will not be disappointed.

On the Scene: 8th Annual Winter Wonderland Toys for Tots Event

by Serena Khahera December 22, 2021
written by Serena Khahera

Holiday spirit still lingers on top of Hollywood after Katie Welch and Jordan Kuker’s 8th annual Toys for Tots spectacular. With special appearances by youtube sensation Gigi Gorgeous along with Adam Lambert wrapping up some amazing holiday singing performances, the party was a show-stopping event.

We arrived to the beautiful Yamashiro Hollywood restaurant and were immediately floored by how beautiful the venue was. The restaurant sits above all of Hollywood with spectacular view that wraps around the whole exterior. We were escorted by staff to a seperate room on the side of the restaurant with a red carpet outside. On the carpet we watched as many celebrities dropped off their toys in the Toys for Tots bins before having a few photos snapped. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children who don’t receive gifts for Christmas.  Once we entered inside the venue we were met with an amazing sushi buffet, hot chocolate bar, and photo booth amongst other fun things.  Guests enjoyed SNAX-Sational Brands’ Candy Pop and Cookie Pop’s two new original holiday flavors Cookie Pop Popcorn Iced Gingerbread and Candy Pop Popcorn Peppermint Hot Chocolate. We also had the opportunity to join in on some auction items like paintings and weekend getaways which all also benefited the Toys for Tots event. After grabbing a bite to eat we walked out into the courtyard area.

The Yamashiro Hollywood courtyard was absolutely stunning complete with koi ponds and bonsai trees in a traditional Japanese style. While we enjoyed the delicious snacks and beverages, there was a DJ was setting the mood for the rest of the party with a delightful holiday set list. After more guests had arrived the holiday performances began. The event opened with a dance performance inspired by 2004 cult classic Mean Girls complete with santa dresses and hats. After that hosts Katie Welch and Johnny Wujek introduced tons of amazing singing acts after performing a couple numbers themselves. The singing performances wrapped up with Grammy award nominee and singing legend Adam Lambert. The charity event spread tons of holiday cheer and brought Christmas spirit to town while doing tons of good for children in need.

Amazon Music Original: Leon Bridge’s “Purple Snowflakes”

by Lenique Vincent December 12, 2021
written by Lenique Vincent

Amazon Music hosted a holiday party at Ludlow House on December 7 to celebrate Leon Bridge’s latest cover, “Purple Snowflakes.” 

The recent Grammy nominee reinvents the Christmas bop, originally sung by Marvin Gaye, by giving it a soulful, Texan twist with a music video to match.

Known for his R&B hits, “River” and “Beyond,” Bridges came across “Purple Snowflakes” back in Fort Worth, Texas when he was bussing tables at Rosa’s Cafe. 

“It was part of their Christmas playlist,” he recalled, “before Shazam was a thing.” He continued, “Undeniable music, your just going to gravitate towards it. It was inevitable that I would record it one day.” 

That day came and the cover was released back in November before it was recorded exclusively for Amazon Music’s Original holiday songs; a platform that features holiday music from artist all over the world. 

Stream “Purple Snowflakes” and more on Amazon Music now and watch the video on Amazon Music’s YouTube account anytime. Happy holidays!
