Translation: If you want your guests to wine, dine, and have a good time, then you need to be doing the same. Being tense over hosting and not eating or drinking will only send a subliminal message to your guests to mimic your behavior.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The restauranteur also believes in making an event pleasurable to the guests five senses, saying on the following topics;<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>\u2022 Smell:<\/strong>\u00a0I think people lead with their nose. There is no better compliment to a host than when a guest says, \u201cIt smells great in here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 Sight:<\/strong>\u00a0Some hosts use a party as an excuse to clean their home, or hang that piece of art they\u2019ve been meaning to hang. Go with that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 Taste:<\/strong>\u00a0Be generous. People shouldn\u2019t be on portion control with food or beverages.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 Hearing:<\/strong>\u00a0I have fun assembling a playlist. It\u2019s rare when everyone likes the same music, so I shuffle: British rock and roll, Mozart, Oscar Peterson.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 Touch:<\/strong>\u00a0Be aware of textural elements throughout a party, like silverware, stemware, and linens. But the biggest element is metaphorical: it\u2019s your own touch. How are you making people feel?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<p>When it comes to food, Meyers divulges that he doesn&#8217;t follow food trends\u2014he merely focuses on adding fresh twists to food people love. He also recommends keeping the\u00a0hors d\u2019oeuvres small, as larger portions are awkward to hold when socializing. What&#8217;s more, in this day and age where there is an emphasis on healthy food, Meyers recommends finding a balance between healthy food and hedonistic indulgences. How? By, for example, controlling the fat content in the main course so that you can serve a decadent dessert.<\/p>\n<p>As for the wine, Meyers has a set guideline: For sparkling, Champagne for celebrations and Prosecco for every day; For white, Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling for every day and white Burgundy for special occasions; For red, Barbera from Piedmont for every day and Barolo for special occasions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source and image courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/talent\/danny-meyer-hospitality#slide-1\" target=\"_blank\">Elle Decor<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Famed restauranteur Danny Meyer (whose Union Square company runs New York institutions like the Gramercy Tavern, the Shake Shack and Blue Smoke) shared some of the design tips he&#8217;s picked up through the years with\u00a0Elle Decor.
