“Thirty years ago, it was unheard of for a woman to be the general manager of a hotel. Conrad (Hilton) said, ‘not in my lifetime.’ You could get away with saying things like that back then.”- Mary Diem

Arno's on Main Street

Here are the first round of photos from the first ever Petticoat Row Party at the Chicken Box. Please visit www.petticoatrow1.wordpress.com. The Party was a smashing success. Thank you very much for coming and participating.

Six youthful, budding businesswomen on Nantucket have revived the 18th-19th century tradition of women as business leaders on the Island. Their new Petticoat Row group harkens back to whaling days when women stayed behind and minded many of the businesses on Nantucket. They officially launch their effort on Thursday, May 28, from 7 PM – 9 PM at The Chicken Box with a night of food, drinks and visual celebrations of the history of women in business on Nantucket. That night, the group will display images of current prominent Nantucket women in business along with images of historic Nantucket businesswomen dating back to the 1800s. Becky Becker, advertising sales representative for N Magazine and a driving force behind the new group, cited the several new small business recently launched by her and other women in the group as providing impetus for this new networking effort.

2 parts Triple Eight Cranberry Vodka
1 part Fresh Orange Juice
1 part Spiced Simple Syrup*
Chill the above mixture in a shaker with ice. Strain into a flute, filling the flute halfway. Fill the flute with Prosecco and enjoy!

The Petticoat Row is named after the shops located along Centre Street on Nantucket. This area acquired it’s nickname in the 19th Century when, while most women were mothers and homemakers, the majority of these shops were owned and operated by the wives of whalers who would be at sea for years at a time. Cheers to our forebroads of Nantucket!

Spiced Simple Syrup
Place one cup of water, 12 whole cloves, 1 or 2 star anise, and 1/8th teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Add 2 cups sugar and simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes more.
Remove from the heat and let cool. Remove the cloves and star anise with a slotted spoon. Syrup will keep for up to four weeks when refrigerated.
