Swing in 2007

At the Palace Ballroom
8pm - 12:30 a.m. 2007

Ring in the New Year with Swingin' Yuletide Music, an elegant meal prepared by Tom Douglas, and a glass of bubbly for toasting.   This year, we are celebrating New Years Eve at the Palace Ballroom, along with the award-winning Portage Bay Big Band, a 16-piece 1940's style ensemble band with one of the largest brass sections in the city.

Doors open at 8pm for cocktail hour.  Dinner begins at 9pm sharp.  Fireside Favorites from Swinging Sinatra Standards to Be-Boppin' Goodwin will put you in the mood.  Dancing on the tables is optional.

Tickets available only in advance by calling Sarah Flotard at 206.448.2001 or by emailing sarahf@tomdouglas.com.  Seats are $95 a person plus tax and gratuity.  This price includes a pre-party reception, dinner, a glass of champagne at midnight and some very fun party favors for the countdown to 2007.  There will be a no host bar all evening.   Some tables may be seated festival style. 

Here is a great opportunity to stop by to pick up your personalized copy of Tom's books this holiday season.  They make wonderful gifts & will fill the kitchen bookshelves for years to come!  Swing by for some holiday cheer!

Barnes & Noble, Downtown Store
December 23rd, 1-3pm

When good friends and great food are abound, there is no better way to spend the holiday.  We will be baking up some delicious treats to bring you holiday bliss!   Our Triple Coconut Cream Pie is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  For the holiday season, we've added some delicious desserts like a Meyer Lemon Tart, a deep flavored Muscovado Cheesecake and a Chocolate Cinnamon Mousse Cake.  In traditional fashion, our bread bakery will also be putting out some wonderful and fruity Panettone.  If you haven't made this Italian bread a part of your holiday tradition, now is the year! 

We sell out of our soft potato rolls and crispy traditional rolls every year, so be sure to order those in advance, too!  For the complete menu, click here.  You can order by calling the bakery at 206.441.4540.

Finally, for a really terrific stuffing, we've put together a nice bag of perfectly seasoned croutons made from our Dahlia House Loaf.  Thick and rustic, and full of fresh herbs, they are guaranteed to be the star at the holiday table.  We've added crostini for your appetizer hour and 3-seeded breadsticks, as well.  Stop by the bakery to see what we're cooking, or call 206.441.4540 to place your order.  Happy Holidays!
