Mahjong has officially become more than a game—it is a full-fledged social occasion. From beautifully arranged tables and colorful tiles to cocktails, conversation and a little friendly competition, hosting a mahjong night is now one of the most stylish ways to entertain.

And, of course, every memorable game night deserves an equally fabulous table.

Piece of Cake Party has created the most charming collection of mahjong-themed party accessories for the hostess who takes both her game and her table seriously. The playful collection includes everything you need to transform an ordinary afternoon or evening of mahjong into a chic and festive gathering.

Set the Scene for Mahjong Night

The details always make the party, and Piece of Cake Party’s Mahjong Collection makes it incredibly easy to create a coordinated table.

The Mahjong Mini Snack Plates are designed with whimsical, mahjong-inspired artwork and have the elegant look of fine china—with the convenience of premium disposable paper. Available in pink, green and blue designs, they are perfect for small bites, desserts or layering into a colorful place setting.

Add the coordinating Mahjong Paper Treat Cups for nuts, candies, popcorn or individual desserts. Their blush background and bold “MAHJ” lettering bring just the right amount of personality to the table.

For an added touch of ambiance, place a Rattan Rechargeable Light on the table or nearby bar. Its warm glow instantly creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere—especially when one more game turns into several more games!

Napkins That Say Exactly What Everyone Is Thinking

Piece of Cake Party’s cocktail napkins might be my favorite part of the collection. They are colorful, clever and guaranteed to make your guests smile.

The pink-and-teal “Let’s Mahj” Cocktail Napkins announce the evening’s agenda before anyone even sits down: tiles out, drinks poured and let the games begin!

The “Get Your Mahj On” Cocktail Napkins, featuring bright pink lettering against a sky-blue background, are another fun addition to the bar or game table.

You can also carry the theme into the powder room with the coordinating “Let’s Mahj” Paper Guest Towels. It is such a simple detail, but it makes the entire party feel thoughtful and beautifully pulled together.

Drinks Are Served

No mahjong night is complete without something wonderful to sip, and Piece of Cake Party has made the beverage station part of the décor.

The adorable Mahjong Wine Bucket comes in a soft blush pink and keeps your favorite bottle perfectly chilled throughout the game. There is also a crisp white MAHJ Wine Bucket, decorated with colorful pink, green and blue lettering. Whether you fill it with rosé, white wine, sparkling water or champagne, it is sure to become a centerpiece—and probably appear in quite a few photos.

Guests can enjoy their drinks in the collection’s frosted cups, featuring sayings that every mahjong player will immediately understand.

Choose from:

• “Don’t Touch My Rack” Frosted Cups in pink or blue
• “Just One More Game” Frosted Cups

The cups are reusable, generously sized and perfect for the game that was supposed to end two hours ago!

The Perfect Gift for a Mahjong-Loving Hostess

The Mahjong Collection also makes gift-giving so easy. Instead of arriving with the traditional bottle of wine, create a personalized hostess gift by pairing a set of cocktail napkins with coordinating frosted cups—or present the wine inside one of the colorful Mahjong Wine Buckets.

It would also be such a fun gift for a birthday, housewarming, mahjong teacher, new player or the friend who is always organizing the next game.

Entertaining Made Easy

Piece of Cake Party is an elevated party-supply destination founded by Lisa Gooder, who ran Brides and helped create The Knot, and Xanthe Alban-Davies of Love Balloons. Their collection proves that party supplies can be practical, playful and incredibly stylish at the same time.

Whether you are hosting a weekly game, planning a mahjong-themed birthday celebration or simply looking for a fabulous gift, these accessories will make the occasion feel extra special.

After all, winning may be wonderful—but hosting the best-looking mahjong table is a victory all its own.

Hunt Slonem’s unmistakable universe of rabbits, butterflies, birds and brilliant color arrives at One Art Space in Tribeca this summer with “Through the Looking Glass,” an exhibition bringing together works that capture the repetition, movement and fascination with nature that have become signatures of the celebrated American neo-expressionist artist.

The exhibition is on view from Friday, August 21^st through Monday, September 28^th, 2026 with an opening reception in early September, at One Art Space. The exhibition, Hunt Slonem’s first New York City exhibition in five years, moves between scale and intimacy, from expansive canvases populated by Slonem’s recurring natural motifs to jewel-like paintings framed almost as treasured objects. At its center is “Pink Ascension” (2021), a monumental 77-by-101-inch oil on canvas in which butterflies drift across a luminous pink field, transforming one of Slonem’s most enduring subjects into an enveloping study of rhythm, repetition and movement.

At the other end of the scale is “Blue Hutch” (2025), a 20-by-24-inch oil on wood depicting a gathering of Slonem’s instantly recognizable rabbits against a vivid blue ground. Presented within an ornate frame, the work captures the playful tension that runs throughout Slonem’s practice: spontaneous brushwork and seemingly simple subjects placed within compositions that feel at once contemporary, decorative and almost devotional.

Those two works establish the poles of a broader exhibition that ranges across Slonem’s visual vocabulary. Butterflies emerge repeatedly in works including “Red Sea Migration III” (2026), “Silver Ascension Travel Tomorrow” (2022) and “White Ascension (August Moon)” (2026), while his celebrated rabbits multiply across canvases and smaller works such as “Blue Rhapsody Diamond Dust” (2023), “Totem Fluffle” (2026) and “Pink Pair” (2026). The presentation also extends beyond painting to include Slonem’s sculptural work, reflecting the breadth of a practice in which familiar forms are continually revisited through changes in scale, material, color and surface.

Curator and Co-Owner of One Art Space, MaryAnn Giella McCulloh commented on the new exhibition, “There is something almost jewel-like about Hunt Slonem’s artistry – the color, texture, and repetition, from his bunnies to his butterflies and beyond, draw you in. Beneath that beauty lies a deeper visual language, where nature, imagination, color, and mystery become one. Through the Looking Glass is an invitation into his extraordinary world”

The repetition is fundamental to Slonem’s work. Inspired by nature and by the exotic birds with which he surrounds himself, the artist has spent decades returning to rabbits, butterflies and tropical birds, creating an immediately identifiable visual language characterized by textural brushwork, saturated color and repeated forms. Slonem has described his fascination with the patterns found throughout nature, from feathers and leaves to blades of grass as central to that approach.

Artist, Hunt Slonem said of new exhibition Through the Looking Glass, “A dream of what I see through the looking glass, where my creatures go, where we cannot see them, following their wonder — wonderland and inspiration, the source of all my creativity. A joyous venture. ”

“Through the Looking Glass” by Hunt Slonem is curated by MaryAnn Giella McCulloh and presented at One Art Space, 23 Warren Street in Tribeca. The exhibition is on view from Friday, August 21^st through Monday, September 28^th, 2026.

About Hunt Slonem:
Hunt Slonem is an American neo-expressionist artist recognized for his paintings of rabbits, butterflies and tropical birds, as well as sculpture and his restoration of historic properties.

His work is represented in the permanent collections of approximately 250 museums worldwide, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, Joan Miró Foundation and New Orleans Museum of Art.

Located at 23 Warren Street in New York City, the gallery occupies a versatile ground‑level space with a glass façade, providing a perfect backdrop for both the artwork and the artist to shine.

Miami has never been short on glamorous places to see and be seen, but the newly reimagined Delano Miami Beach is taking exclusivity to an entirely new level. The iconic South Beach hotel has returned with a private members club created for a sophisticated, globally minded community drawn to culture, travel, wellness, dining and meaningful connection. So we asked our Miami real estate expert, Nick Jovanovich to tell us all about it!

For those who remember the original Delano, its return feels especially exciting. The hotel helped define the look and energy of modern South Beach, and this next chapter honors that celebrated history while introducing a more intimate and elevated way to experience it.

A Private World Within the Delano

The Delano Members Club occupies dedicated spaces on the hotel’s fourth floor, giving members access to a private retreat within one of Miami Beach’s most recognizable destinations. The atmosphere is refined yet relaxed—the kind of place where a morning workout, an afternoon by the pool, an impromptu meeting and an elegant dinner can all unfold under one roof.

Membership includes access to the club’s dedicated fourth-floor spaces, as well as beach and pool access when space is available. Members can also enjoy an ongoing calendar of cultural and entertainment programming, including talks, live music, gallery experiences and chef-led tastings.

This is not simply another private club. It is designed as a gathering place for accomplished, creative and curious people who appreciate beautiful surroundings but value the community and experiences within them just as much.

Dining Worth Joining For

One of the most talked-about features is Mimi Kakushi, the Delano’s modern Japanese restaurant and bar inspired by the creative energy of 1920s Osaka. Open only to members and hotel guests, it combines Japanese cuisine with Western influences and an inventive cocktail program in an intimate, glamorous setting.

Members also receive preferred restaurant and bar reservations throughout Delano hotels. At the Miami Beach property, the culinary lineup includes Gigi Rigolatto, which brings coastal Italian dining, aperitivo cocktails, poolside and beachside spaces, and a signature Bellini bar to the oceanfront.

Wellness, Travel and Lifestyle Benefits

The Delano Members Club extends well beyond dining and socializing. Benefits currently include:

• Dedicated members-only spaces on the fourth floor
• Beach and pool access, subject to availability
• Exclusive cultural and entertainment programming
• A complimentary two-night stay at Delano Miami Beach
• Preferred room rates at Delano hotels
• Automatic room upgrades when available
• Flexible check-in and departure
• Preferred restaurant and bar reservations
• Reciprocal benefits at select private clubs
• Access to the Delano lifestyle concierge

Together, these privileges make the membership especially appealing to people who divide their time among major cities, travel frequently or simply want their social, wellness and hospitality experiences handled with an extra level of ease.

Membership Options

The Delano currently lists several membership categories:

• Individual Membership: $6,000 joining fee and $12,000 annually
• Spouse Membership: joining fee waived and $8,000 annually
• Under 33 Membership: $3,000 joining fee and $5,000 annually
• Under 33 Spouse Membership: joining fee waived and $5,000 annually
• Lifetime Family Membership: includes up to four members of one family, with a $35,000 joining fee and a $175,000 one-time membership fee

Membership is application-based, reinforcing the club’s focus on building a thoughtfully curated community rather than simply offering access to amenities. Since benefits, pricing and availability may change, prospective members should confirm current details directly with Delano.

Applications and additional information are available through the Delano Members Club. Membership questions may be directed to membership.miamibeach@delanohotels.com.
