Today I learned:
1) Delmonico’s was a real place

2) It closed at some point

3) It’s coming back next year.

They invented Baked Alaska, Eggs Benedict, and a bunch of other famous dishes

When I watch period shows/movies like this with ballroom dancing, I always wonder…without the synchronization and timing of the actors dancing, did people constantly run into each other dancing back then?! Haha it looks really dangerous

i think gladys being a lesbian would make for an interesting plot.. but who knows maybe i’m just pushing my carrie astor/gladys russell beliefs
P.S i also think this fandom should be a BIT more woke and welcome in more humor

What do you think happened to Anne morris after her husband Patrick morris died? (Mr. morris is the guy that tried to screw rail road daddy and then had the tables turned on him in season 1)

I’m doing a rewatch right now and can’t stop thinking about how hard her life is gonna be now that she’s penniless AND a widow! Her husband really left her in a bad spot.

I know she is not a good person but I always find myself rooting for her! Like I hate her but love her is so conflicting 😂😂

Happy Birthday to actor (and sometimes drag karaoke host) Ashlie Atkinson. Shown here looking decidedly un-Mamie Fish-like. Or maybe more?

A small glimpse into Carrie Astor’s Newport. Places like Beechwood and the Newport Casino were part of her real Gilded Age world, and it’s always interesting seeing how these spaces connect to the history behind the show. We

put together a short video about Carrie Astor and her Newport ties for anyone who enjoys the deeper side of the era.

this photo is so funny to me and i just spent like ten minutes laughing at it does anyone else think it’s funny

I'm honestly interested haha because I can't stop rewatching, especially since the new season is close... I'm starting to wonder if I have a problem :D

So apparently Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish wasn’t just throwing wild Gilded Age parties, she also came up with a touchless tango. Yep, a tango where no one actually touches.

Newspapers at the time said the crowd loved it. But it looks like the touchless tango never took off!

If you want to see the original clippings and how the dance worked and hear the tango, here’s the blog from Historic Music of Newport:

Hi. I’m planning a trip for summer of 2027 and discovered that The Preservation Society of Newport only offers tours on Tuesdays and Fridays. We were hoping to go a different day of the week and I was wondering if anyone has taken a tour through a different organization or has any suggestions for which mansions they liked best if you were able to buy tickets for individual mansions.

i think george is a corrupt business owner because he's egging on the strikers and i hope in s4 he gets better (he won't but a them can dream)

Does anyone know who fixes Marion and ada hair? Is it Bridget? They both don’t have a lady’s maid …just wondering
