You Don't Have to Fork Over to Have Great Dinnerware

Our Favorite Dinnerware

Derby Cocktailing

The Ivy's Version of the Mint Julep

Whips, high heels and big hats, the saddle, stiff drinks: What do all these have in common? If you answered anything other than this weekend’s Kentucky Derby, we look forward to getting to know you better. The Derby’s one of our favorite weekends of the year. Great horse-watching and people-watching, a bit of friendly wagering, and an excuse to have friends over and sip mint juleps in the middle of a Saturday afternoon ... Read More
