Thanksgiving in Style at 55 Jordan
There is an understated elegance at play in the Journal Square apartments at 55 Jordan, with their expansive windows, sprawling rooms, and highest quality contemporary finishes. It’s the perfect canvas for creating a warm and inviting home for Thanksgiving, where guests will be welcomed by the warmth and light of the interiors and by the views of the skyline of Manhattan. This is a year to let your seasonal creativity reach new heights with a table setting as bountiful, and as much of a sensory experience, as the food itself.
Begin with a delicately textured table covering like the Cloud Grey 100% Linen tablecloth from La Linge Particulier and use this as a base for how you will think about placing candles, wreaths, wildflowers, and gourds along the center of the table to create a sense of drama, beauty, and atmosphere—the kinds of details that make a holiday magical. Afloral’s Paprika Brown Dried Pampas Bunch will bring a rich fall foliage color accent, and their Dried Echinops Globe Thistle in Blue Green will awaken a nostalgic, romantic sense of a summer meadow, now lying quietly beneath the stars.
You can create your own evocation of the glistening winter night sky with carefully chosen candles and equally striking candleholders. Ferm Living, a company based in Copenhagen, has designed a candle bowl that features four tapers around the circumference of the raw stoneware bowl for other centerpiece decorations like pinecones or a mix of gourds. For a candle choice that emphasizes fragrance over a sculptural statement, Brooklyn Candle Studio creates scents like Apple Cider, Roasted Pumpkin, and Woodsmoke with a subtle touch that evokes the outdoors and enhances the smells wafting out from the kitchen. For a pop of color, Graf Lantz makes cozy-looking, richly hued felt coasters you can use to create a visual punctuation mark on the table. Their Ikebana Round Coaster Pack features soft gray, light olive green, pale yellow, and burnt orange to evoke autumnal colors.
As for what to place on those coasters—try serving up Thanksgiving-inspired cocktails that pair beautifully with the meal and emphasize the flavors of the season. Ocean Drive recommends Byblos’s Old Fashioned, which features Old Forester bourbon, smoked rum, a Turkish coffee reduction, and hints of orange. It’s autumnal elegance in a glass to set the tone for a night where the care for detail that defines the homes at 55 Jordan will make your holiday table shine.
