Eating Dinner on a Horse

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to eat dinner while sitting on top of a horse?

In 1903, it was rumored that the social elite wore tuxedos to bed and brushed their teeth with champagne. While those two claims are unsubstantiated, what is outrageously true is that C.K.G. Billings, a wealthy industrialist, once held an unusual dinner for his fellow horse racing enthusiasts. To celebrate the completion of his luxury stables in what is now Fort Tyron Park, Billings and 32 guests mounted horses and dined on seven exquisite courses in an upscale Manhattan restaurant.

Whether you're a fan of quirky comedy, historical fiction, silly satire, or just in the mood for something fun and original, join Robert Vallance in this riotous retelling of the most novel dinner of the Gilded Age.
