Arty Party: Dinner with Collectors

In The Museum of Innocence, Orhan Pamuk opined that “…the true collector’s only home is his own museum.” The elegant 1929 Warfield Gratz-designed home of Gay Reading and John Martin on West Second Street, a collector’s paradise of antiques, artefacts and curiosities curated over a lifetime, is living proof of that observation. Sit down to an elegant five-course seafood dinner prepared and served by Gay and John themselves, while the conversation turns on the joys of collecting for sheer personal pleasure. If you’re a collector of experiences, this is one you’re not likely to forget.
