The Chelsea's creative engery must also flow into the basement. Serena has a book, "Serena, Food and Stories." Well-known caterer Serena Bass's “first book is a rare mixture of good food, great stories and truly unique style; just the right combination to make it a big hit with cookbook fans.” This book looks like not only would it give you some wonderful inspiration, but also feed your curiosity for the rich and famous!
In addition to her successful catering business, she is the namesake behind Serena, the bar/lounge in the basement of the Chelsea Hotel, which she opened in 1999 and has since sold. Here is Serena's menu recommendation for that dinner party you're planning.
