Drawing: Tickets for Troy Prom -- a prom for adults -- at Takk House
Drawing's closed! Winner's been emailed!
Takk House is again hosting Troy Prom this November 24. It is "a grown-up themed dance party for anyone who might need to replace or re-live their prom memories." This year's theme is "Great Gatsby."
And we have a pair of tickets to give away -- maybe to you. To enter the drawing, please answer this question in the comments:
What's something in the Capital Region that's glamorous, elegant, or fancy?
It could be a building. It could be an event. It could be a season. It could whatever. We'll draw one winner at random and that person gets the pair of tickets.
Additional Troy Prom blurbage:
"This is a second chance at the prom," said Frank Sicari, who co-owns Takk House with his wife Heidi Sicari. "You can get a redo if it wasn't good the first time in High School. Or you can do it again if you had a great time. And now you can drink... legally."
"We just wanted to create a good reason to dress up and dance. There aren't really a lot of places to do that around here that aren't a club or a wedding, but there's added pressure and weirdness at weddings," said Heidi Sicari. "This is a no pressure event. Just a silly time in a safe place."
Troy Prom is Saturday, November 24 starting at 8 pm. Admission is includes live music, a snack buffet by Slidin' Dirty, open bar, a photo booth, and prizes. There's also an afterparty at Franklin Alley Social Club downstairs. It's 21+ event.
Tickets went on sale this past Friday. They're $80 per person ($70 per person for groups of six or more). In years past, tickets have sold out, usually in a few weeks.
Important: All comments must be submitted by noon on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 to be entered in the drawing. You must answer the question to be part of the drawing.

The Blue Hen at the Adelphi could basically be a fancy greenhouse dining room at the Breakers in Newport - except no sea view.

The Hudson river, glimmering and gleaming on a fall morning. Glamorous.

A romantic evening at 677 Prime. Drinks and dinner, along with live music, makes your visit one to remember.

A few different things that make me feel fancy: dinner and drinks at Peck's Arcade in Troy, drinks at the Speakeasy in Albany and catching a show at Proctor's in Schenectady. And one more out there -- going to a farm to table dinner at Dancing Ewe farm in Granville, NY (what a beautiful setting and absolutely delicious food and wine).

Had some elegant dishes at Fish and Game in Hudson, maybe not considered capital district. Let’s go with that staircase inside the NYS capital, very elegant.

Events at The State Room in Albany.

Dinner at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga was very elegant, seeing the Philadelphia Orchestra at SPAC very elegant, or just having a drink up at the Saratoga track.

The Speakeasy has to be my choice. I've only been there once, but I love the ambiance and mood.

The Tavern above Peck's Arcade has an especially elegant and magical vibe. The lighting, the exquisite cocktails, peeking down from the mezzanine, all the little nooks... I love it!
