Come Party With Me: 30th Birthday — The Look

Come Party With Me: 30th Birthday — Drinks
The best thing about hosting your 30th birthday party at a bar is that you don't have to worry about making cocktails. Talk to the management and make arrangements for either an open bar, a wine/beer/specialty cocktail bar, or a no hosts bar in which guests pay for their own drinks.
For DearSugar's 30th birthday at Le Colonial, the bar will be open.

Summer Reading: Julie and Julia
A few years ago, while facing her 30th birthday, Julie Powell decided that even though she had no culinary background, she was going to master Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
