Halloween Party at Cipriani Club 55

SAVE THE DATE 10-30-14

Halloween is right around the corner and, let’s face it, we don’t usually think about Wall Street executives partying in funny costumes throughout the night.

But seeing as this is one of the most traditional nights of the year, the Cipriani Hotel thought about the ways in which executives in Lower Manhattan could celebrate and they are throwing a party you simply can not miss.

On the evening of Thursday October 30th, the day before the traditional holiday, Cipriani Club 55 will be hosting a halloween party. The evening’s festivities will begin at 8pm with a cocktail reception followed by a 3-course dinner. After dinner, the event will go on with an after-party lasting until 3am.

The scariest mask at the party will win two tickets for the most talked about halloween party in New York on October 31st at Cipriani 42nd Street.

Tickets for the event cost $75 per person. To reserve a table you can e-mail: wallstreet@cipriani.com or call their number 646-300-8168.

Motor Cycle Kings: Eric Bonnetain

See how some of New York’s power players ride around the city in style.

Some of the most successful businessmen in New York City, from Google to Ciprianis, are ditching their suits on the weekend and trading them in for leather gear. Exchanging the boardroom for open roads, these successful men are turning to motorcycles to free themselves from the grind of city life. Not only are motorcycles classically cool, but they provide those who ride a feeling of freedom, adventure and challenge. See why men are loving being a part of the bike fraternity.

What do you do professionally?
I’ve been working as the general manager of Cipriani’s for a few years, but I previously had the opportunity to work on Wall Street. I’ve been Downtown for over seven years now.

How did you get interested in motorcycles?
It started in my 20s. I stopped riding when I had my kids. I was riding fast motorcycles before, but I’m not that young anymore, so I decided to ride a Harley. It’s more a cruiser.

What advice do you have for people interested in riding in New York City?
You can have a motorcycle in New York, but don’t ride in New York City. It’s too dangerous. If you have the opportunity, you should just cross the bridge and get out.

How do you describe your biker style?
I like to look like a bad ass. It’s all leather. It’s a vest with patches, my tattoos out. I’m just a different person. People don’t recognize me on the weekend.

If you could ride your bike any- where, where would it be?
Thailand.
