Dan’s 50th: the space – 230 Elm
Ellen Dioguardi
By David Lion Rattiner There are few public places with the kind of celebration history as 230 Elm in Southampton, and for the “Dan’s Papers 50th Anniversary Celebration: 50 Years 50 Artists” party taking place on August 21 from 4 to 8 p.m., it seemed like a perfect choice. It’s owned by Tim Burke, who is somewhat of a Hamptons legend having run the restaurant 75 Main in Southampton with great success. He seems to have hit his stride at 230 Elm. It’s a big, beautiful venue, just what the Dan’s Papers 50th Anniversary Party is going to need. There’s plenty of parking and it’s in the perfect location in Southampton. The space (the former Polish Hall) has undergone some changes. With hardwood floors and an artistic design, high ceilings and intricate lighting and acoustics that are excellent for music, it feels somewhat like a large dance or music hall in the City, like Webster Hall. In addition to the outrageous space, Dutch Petals is going to help decorate the venue. Dutch Petals, which operates just about around the corner from 230 Elm in Southampton, is renowned throughout the Hamptons for providing some of the finest flowers that money can buy for the most discerning Hamptons customer. If you’ve been to a wedding or large event in
230 Down, site of the After Party
Southampton, chances are the gorgeous flowers perfectly set up everywhere were provided by Dutch Petals. The company is a direct importer of the highest quality fresh cut flowers from all over the world, including Europe and South America. In keeping with the very Hamptons tradition of a VIP room for guests, Dan’s Papers will not disappoint. The VIP room at the party, where guests purchasing a VIP ticket can hang out, will see some of the finest furniture in the world provided by high-end furniture maker, Thos. Moser, new in Southampton this year. This furniture has become so popular, people have literally transformed their entire house with Thos. Moser only. Every chair, table, ottoman or cabinet that they make is hand crafted with the finest wood,
and designed to perfectly support the human body. The furniture is so nice and comfortable, that Thos. Moser has been able to expand their brand all over the United States, with customers from all over the world. The party at 230 Elm also features great entertainment, including Trevor Davison, a frequent Dan’s Papers Best of the Best winner and leader of Trevor Davison Orchestras and Musical Entertainment. Davison, who has played at events hosted by Robert Kennedy Jr. and Margaret Thatcher, will regale attendees at the Dan’s party with great vocals and piano chops. And then there’s the afterparty downstairs, at 230 Down—a very cool redesigned bowling alley. There you’ll hear great bands and performers include audience favorite Jim Turner, the very hot and rocking Nancy Atlas Band, and Mr. No Shame band. At “50 Years 50 Artists,” be sure to check out all of the fine art. Dan’s Papers’ most popular cover artists will be showcased in the art show that will include works by Peter Max, Leroy Neiman, Mickey Paraskevas, Daniel Pollera, Ted Asnis, Giancarlo Impiglia, Hilary Knight and 43 others. We hope to see you there. “Dan’s Papers 50th Anniversary Celebration: 50 Years 50 Artists. ”August 21, 4 to 8 p.m. For tickets, call 631-725-6216 or visit www.danshamptons.com/artshow.
