The Event Jeannie by C&G

The Wedding Jeannie’s Spring Venue Series Continues with New Leaf Restaurant!

This week we highlight a unique venue that is actually part of Bette Midler’s New York Restoration Project. New Leaf Restaurant, housed in a charming 1930’s Olmstead building, is located near The Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park. Amazing landscape, incredible views, and great food all contribute to New Leaf’s popularity as an event venue, though that has not diminished its draw as a go to place for intimate marriage proposals or live jazz and brunch on the weekends.  But the real reason that we have to talk about New Leaf this week is because of their new permanent seasonal tent which is doing more than keeping the rain out! 

Jeannie will dish with Chef Kenneth Welch about event possibilities, his seasonal menu favorites, exciting happenings on the horizon, and that new tent!

The Wedding Jeannie’s Spring Venue Series Continues with Weylin B. Seymour’s!

This week we highlight a spectacular new venue that is somewhat of a hidden gem, but not for long! Weylin B. Seymour’s, historically the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, is one of the most exquisite venues in Brooklyn. The venue, built in 1875, still boasts stunning original architecture (including the teller booths!) but the restoration gives it a modern twist. Beyond bringing old world elegance to Brooklyn in a 21st century way, it also allows for greater capacity numbers than many Brooklyn venues, not to mention the high end catering that we are all expecting to hear about on the show..…..

We will chat with Carlos Perez San Martin, who runs the venue, about its fascinating history, the story behind the new name, their entire private events process, and much, much more!

The Wedding Jeannie’s Health and Wellness Series Continues with Healthy Cooking; Il Palagio’s Celebrity Chef Joe Sponzo!

This week we chat with a true culinary expert, Joe Sponzo, who has been Sting’s personal chef for more than 20 years. He runs the kitchen at Il Palagio, the estate that Sting and Trudie Styler own in Tuscany. Most of the food made on premises comes from the estate itself, as much of it is grown - or caught - right there. It is real “farm-to-table” cooking!

While all of us may not be able to eat as organically, there are some things we can do. Joe will share some of his favorite healthy recipes from his cookbook, tell us what you should be cooking if you’re short on time (or energy!), and how to maintain healthy eating without depriving yourself!
