| Fred's at Barneys Hosts Alfresco Wine Tastings for 30—and Parties for White House Staffers |
|
Open since late April, Fred's at Barneys New York occupies the top floor of the Gold Coast department store. The 5,000-square-foot penthouse-style restaurant—which recently hosted a private 50th birthday celebration for White House social secretary Desiree Rogers—seats 120 in its main dining room; certain areas of the room can be sectioned off to host cocktail receptions for 100.
Tucked into a corner of the main dining room, a semiprivate space seats 24 and offers a drop-down projection screen and its own phone line. At the back of the restaurant, a terrace provides seating for 22 and can host cocktail receptions or alfresco wine tastings for 30. |
