Two somewhat related cultural touchstones:
1. Truman Capote’s party of the century — the menu hardly seems like a highlight: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_White_Ball https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_White_Ball
> The night's menu, to be served at midnight, consisted of scrambled eggs, sausages, biscuits, pastries, spaghetti and meatballs and chicken hash, a specialty of the Plaza and one of Capote's favorite dishes.
