Get All Gussied Up For The Oscars at NYC's Carlton

Still working out your plans for watching the Oscars? You do know that it's on Sunday night, right? If you imagined a refined evening of hors d'oeuvres and toasting the winners but only have enough time to muster up chips and dip, then we recommend taking a gander at the the Oscar Night package at New York's Carlton Hotel on Madison Avenue.

For $199 only on the night of February 22, you get to stay in one of the Carlton's David Rockwell-designed rooms, who also happens to be the designer for this year's Oscars, as well as enjoy gourmet popcorn and optional in-room dining from Country, the hotel's restaurant.

Should you wish to don some black-tie apparel and rub elbows with leaders in fashion and design, you can join the private Academy Awards viewing party in Country�s Champagne Lounge. The Carlton explains the inspiration and guest list:

David�s sets are expected to showcase the Oscar�s �champagne popping� glory days, so the Rockwell-designed Champagne Lounge is a fitting choice for [David's friend's] VIP fashion and design pals to watch the show and honor the success of their friend -- David is the first architect to design the Oscars. Guests include Angel Sanchez, Fashion Designer, Yeohlee Teng, Fashion Designer, Vicente Wolf, Vicente Wolf Design, Stefan Beckman, Set Designer, Shamir Shah, Shamir Shah Design, and Paul Siskin, Siskin Valls Design, and more.

We kind of want to go just for the finger foods, which are expected to include such oddities as "taleggio grilled cheese diamonds" and "coconut truffle lollipops." If the mix of culinary creativity and Oscars upperclass appeal to you, then hurry up as you've only got two days left and a lot of drycleaning to do. Call The Carlton to book this package: 212.532.4100.
