The Garden City Hotel has had a tradition of hosting a who's who from the horse racing world. Guests have included the Belmont family who visited Long Island for such sporting occasions but also fashionable galas in the hotel's ballroom. Today, the race's horse owners, trainers, jockeys and spectators continue to make The Garden City Hotel their main gathering spot outside of Belmont Park. In 2009, The Garden City Hotel will continue to sponsor the Belmont Festival, host an annual hat trunk show by designer Christine Moore, serve themed menus by award-winning Chef Steven De Bruyn and serve as the hub for the racing community's comings and goings. In the hotel gift shop, hat designer Christine A. Moore (www.camhats.com) will present her annual trunk show for women seeking the customary hat to wear to the event. A full collection of styles, casual and extravagant, will be available on Thursday, June 4 and Friday, June 5 from 2:30 - 8:00 p.m. In addition to hosting weekend festivities in a series of private events, the luxury property's Rein Bar & Bistro will be a favorite gathering spot. Racing news will be broadcast on three large-format plasma television screens that may be viewed while sitting at the rear-lit onyx bar, or, more intimately, tableside in the rarified lounge-like room. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night menus by award-winning Executive Chef Steven De Bruyn will be available alongside themed menu items including: *Roasted Long Island Duck with Satur Farms Green Chard & Potato Cakes with Huckleberry Sauce, $29
