So I should have posted this blog a while ago, but life isn’t always so cooperative. I recently had lunch and a tour at Club LeConte downtown. I met Lindsay and Alyson a few weeks before at a networking event and they offered to show me around their club some time. Alyson and I had a delicious lunch. I had New Englad Clam Chowder (one of my favorite foods ever), a Thai Beef Salad, Raspberry Lemonade, and Key Lime Pie for dessert. I could barely walk the tour after lunch, it was all so good! I love Clam Chowder, and theirs had this great spice to it that made me want to order another bowl. The beef was tender and perfectly cooked, and the salad dressing had that sweet and spicy flavor I love about Thai food. The pie was the real killer. It came with 2 slices, and I nearly finished both of them. It was fantastic!
The club itself is beautiful. They have space for a small intimate dinner (Alyson was telling me about a proposal they had recently) or a huge wedding. It reminds me of some of the clubs in Atlanta, only their view is of the river rather than a bunch of sky scrapers. You can see practically forever up there. It was daytime during my visit, but I bet the lights and the stars are great at night.
One of my favorite parts is the huge staircase with mirrors down the side and a large chandelier above it. It would be a perfect place to photograph a bride alone or a huge group. Depending on the size of the wedding, you could get most or all of the guests lined up for a single shot.
Everyone is super nice over there. Here’s their website if you’re curious: http://www.clubleconte.com I’ll have to find out when they serve clam chowder and see if I can get another bowl. 🙂
