On my most recent visit to NYC, the goal was to experience “vintage” New York City. It happens that my mother was the lead vocalist for an orchestra in the late 1950’s, and often performed at iconic hotel ballrooms and clubs around the city. She had fond memories of performing at places like The Carlyle Hotel – and I’ve often imagined her sipping a martini at the legendary Bemelmans Bar after a show. To honor this history, our plans included staying in a classic Upper East Side location, attending a Broadway show, dining in some of the cities hottest eateries (and enjoying a cocktail – or two, at Bemelmans).

As the weekend unfolded, it was clear we were onto something very special! Every experience was an affirmation of the past being rooted firmly in the present. Our hotel – The Mark, was just as exquisite and glamorous today, as I imagine it was when it opened, in 1927. Stepping into a time-honored Broadway theater to see a modern play – was the perfect mix of the past and present. Finally, one of our favorite experiences was dinner at the acclaimed Carbone restaurant. This elegant and unpretentious restaurant is a nod to mid-century New York Italian-American greats, while taking culinary cues from the present and future. Is there a theme here? Of course! We’re Moments!

Moving Forward.

Our vintage NYC experience came full circle when we enjoyed a spontaneous lunch at The Carlyle. Our waiter (a 26 year veteran of the hotel) generously took us on an unexpected tour of the cabaret room where my mother performed 60 years ago. This seemed like a perfect moment to toast to the quintessential past, and inspiring future – cue Bemelmans and bubbles!

Get ready for Moments Carbone inspired Gluten-Free Spicy Pasta Alla Vodka – a delicious mouthful of vintage NYC.

  • Add 2 tablespoons salt to a large pot of boiling water and add pasta. Cook until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1½ cups pasta water before draining.
