My friends Rohit Pursram and Tim Chow got me that cake. What’s the story behind that incredible cake? On the contrary, I knew all the people I invited would bring it to that party! Were you worried people might not adhere to the dress code? Seeing his reaction to the space was one of my favorite moments of the night.Ī black tie birthday is incredibly chic. He loves New York City and lives here, but has never been to that room. Your dad was there! What did he think of the party? It feels like a throwback to the year I was born in, a bit. It’s my favorite (and in my opinion, it’s the most beautiful) room in New York City. I was one of Boom Boom Room’s very first loyal customers. But this felt quintessentially New York-chic and glamorous. It was a sky full of stars Friday night. I did a very large birthday for my 35 th birthday: had 28 people to Harbour Island in the Bahamas for a few days. How have you celebrated your birthday in the past? It’s holiday season prime, so believe it or not, I booked the space about a year ago. Seeing all of my gorgeous friends, family, mentors, and colleagues from all walks of life from all over the world in one room together-all looking as stunning and chic as the setting. What was the highlight of Friday’s party? Those in need of something more to sop up the libations opted for halved cheeseburgers, which went extremely well with the constant champagne refills. We touched base with Monaghan today to find out how the shindig came together, why he chose the swanky space, and how he recouped the next day (…or didn’t). The black tie festivities brought out Monaghan’s chic friends, family, and work pals, including Brian Atwood, Deborah Needleman, Olivia Palermo, Graziano de Boni, Ralph Lauren’s Malcolm Carfrae, Oscar de la Renta’s Erika Bearman, Katie Lee, and scads more. A live band played (always a classy touch) as the gown-donning, bow-tied bedecked crowd reupped on cocktails and nibbled on tuna tartare and green olive tapenade crostini. The occasion? A very posh 40th birthday bash at the Boom Boom Room for Brendan Monaghan, the dapper publisher of T: The New York Times Style Magazine as well as VP of The Times’ luxury advertising. Perhaps you ran across some unapologetically glam party shots on Instagram this weekend under the hashtag #bcm40.
