Description
Summary:Combined with ceiling heights that range from 30 to 60 feet, such protocols give "people a greater sense of feeling safe," Sawtelle says. Because of the pandemic, the Music Hall's Writers on a New England Stage program, conducted in partnership with NH Public Radio, has gone virtual for now, but Sawtelle says "I think livestreaming is something that will continue into [2021] and beyond." Hors d'oeuvres are now offered by servers with gloved hands rather than having guests take them off trays; charcuterie and cheese boards have given way to individual servings; and buffets are staffed with a single server passing out the culinary offerings. The restaurant will seat 400 and the two event spaces, 300 and 230, she adds. Because the building is fairly new, it did not require HVAC updates, she says. Wine tasting and hors d'oeuvres will be offered at each hole of the nine-hole golf course during special women's nights, according to LaBelle's plan, and cross-country skiing and Christmas light walks may be offered in winter.
