The Hot List: 2011 Holiday Parties
Eggnog. Green pants. Chimney-creeping fat guys with a penchant for Nilla Wafers. Yes, the holidays are coming. On the bright side: so are the parties. So here’s a leg up on five of the city’s finest holiday thunderdomes for your perusal. Peruse wisely.
FOR THE UNDER-THE-RADAR OFFICE BLOWOUT
Studio 887 at King Plow Arts Center
You Require: A dark and sexy den of holiday excess. And maybe a fireplace for
s’mores.
You’ll Receive: Exposed brick, towering vaulted ceilings, endless candles lining the walls and plenty of clandestine potential for interoffice... relations. And a fireplace for s’mores.

FOR CHARMING A FEW DOZEN SCARLETT O’HARAS
The Mitchell Room at Georgian Terrace
You Require: Champagne and lobster in the exact same location the Gone with the
Wind premiere gala was held.
You’ll Receive: Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Peachtree, ornate chandeliers and enough throwback Southern charm to make you consider a cane and top hat. Actually, you should probably consider that anyway.

FOR KEEPING A FEW JOLLY TITANS OF INDUSTRY BUSY
The Commerce Club at 191 Peachtree
You Require: A downtown business club that doubles as a bottle-popping soiree
factory.
You’ll Receive: Options upon options on the 49th floor, from the Bobby Jones Media Room with a 103-inch flat-screen and immediate bar access to the tiny Wine Room for a private dinner and some bourbon-spiked nog. Nogging without bourbon: ill-advised.

FOR MAKING THE CLARK GRISWOLD TYPE FEEL AT HOME
The Trolley Barn
You Require: A semi-kitschy, semi-hidden barn from the late 1800s for you and up to 250 of
your closest friends. Or family members.
You’ll Receive: A huge open space tucked away in Inman Park with 30-foot ceilings and plenty of bars (P’cheen, Barcelona...) within sprinting distance. You know, in case Grandma busts out the Dean Martin carols.

FOR SURFING, TURFING AND TOASTING
The Prime Rooms at Ocean Prime
You Require: A small, glass-walled room filled
with booze, crab cakes and holiday cheer for you and the rest of the board. And a select few
interns.
You’ll Receive: That. Also, your own flat-screen, fully customizable menus and over 200 wines’ worth of toasting potential. This could get long-winded.
