Town and Country in the city

The theme was Town and Country, but the night started off with a good old-fashioned scavenger hunt. Before the party, our team of four headed to the Roots store on Bloor to pick up our entrée to the evening—a striped scarf or pom pom hat. Next it was off to a semi-secret location, the Roots store in Rosedale (surprise!). Those smarty-pants Society girls picked the perfect venue for a little upper-crust-at-the-cottage evening—the shop was all plaids, cozy furniture and piles of birch logs.

The crowd also came ready to party, country style, in tartans and riding boots galore. (Our resident Anglophile, Jordan Porter, would have been right at home.) Things heated up as we downed sparkling rosé and munched on local cheeses, mini burgers and devils on horseback (sundried plums stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in bacon) from across the street at Le Petit Castor (1189 Yonge St., 416-968-7366), where the crowd headed for the after-party.

I packed it in at this point, but those with a bit more stamina were treated to the appearance of Jeanne Beker along with their nightcaps. Apparently it was quite a scene—no surprise for this new hotspot, which on more than one evening has seen a dance on the bar. That’s right—-in Rosedale.
