CAYA: The Last Cocktail Hour of the Decade!

Dear Lost Souls,

Founders: Greg Dolge, Billy Rhyne,
Chris Strain, and Greg Delaune

Tonight, The Haberdashery will celebrate the final Cocktail Hour of the decade. Conceived and birthed in the halcyon days at the end of the last century, CAYA was conceptualized by its four intrepid founders as an alchemical quest toward the creation of the perfect Martini. Countless libations and iterations later, we continue to carefully hone our craft via our weekly communion, replete with epic triumphs and failures along the way, but always seeking with our humble offerings to honor our original vision, as well as to pay homage to the classically accepted pantheon of handcrafted cocktails. Come help us put to bed another era of Haberdashery mayhem, and salute CAYA's entry into a fourth decade of tireless dedication to your ephemeral satisfaction.

Yes, my Hysterical Historical Haberdites, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to swing by for a quickie en route to your primary soirée de la saison, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA: Honoring Those Who Inspire Us

Dear Lost Souls,

This week, on the occasion of St. Nicholas Day and also in the midst of a mad flurry of international wedding celebrations in the Haberdite crewe, we take a moment to honor one of the matriarchs of our Haberdashery community, Kathleen Delaune, who is celebrating her 78th birthday today.  Born December 6th, 1941, Kathleen came into the world with a bang ... and has wasted little time looking back. Our thanks to her for her foundational inspiration for valuing the importance of quality food prepared with loving care, her heartfelt hospitality, and her prioritization of a well maintained home, always welcoming to friends and strangers alike. It is an honor and a pleasure to call her Mom, and to always be striving to live up to her high standards of kindness, generosity, and gentle respect for all.

Yes, my Holiday Hohos, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Please come help us celebrate Katie's birthday, as well as the weddings of Hersey & Francesco, and Megan & Massimo. It is a joyous season indeed! Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to carroll on by for a quickie en route to your primary holiday soiree, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros
