A Jewelry Designer's Table, Set for Late Summer in New York

Jewelry designer Taylor Sade opened her New York City apartment for an aperitivo-hour dinner as summer wound down, the kind of evening built around a pasta course rather than a runway. No gowns, no step-and-repeat — just good glassware and better carbs, hosted by someone whose day job is designing what goes around your neck, not what goes on the table. It is the sort of gathering this desk likes best: taste applied off duty.
