Cocktails were a key part of midcentury culture so it’s historically accurate and culturally appropriate that Modernism Week celebrates in style. Here’s our handy guide to the best cocktails at Modernism Week Fall Preview.
Bring your best vintage finery, dress up to the nines, and enjoy a weekend of parties, shaken and stirred.
