With 2011 coming to its close this evening, we took some time to look through our always-expanding Flickr to reminisce on this past year’s dinners, cocktail hours, and get-togethers. From a seaside supper to wintry holiday meals to a breast cancer fundraiser this was a great year for the Dinner Series. Below are some of our favorite photos of our favorite tables of 2011. Hopefully they’ll inspire you in 2012. Happy New Year from the Dinner Series!
