Yet another holiday has come in New York. This year there will be no Times Square for me! My dear friend Vinnie has invited me to a party on the Upper East Side hosted by his friends from Greece. The party was a dinner party - lots of food and drinks, in a gorgeous apartment at the top of a very nice tall building over looking the East River. I have learned that smashing a pomegranate is a part of the Greek New Year tradition as well as hiding things in the food. Inside the dessert is a coin and whoever gets the dessert that has the coin will be blessed for the coming year.
There were lots of people from Greece at the party and I really enjoyed meeting them and spending the New Year party together.
I was even invited to go to Dim Sum the next day with one of the girls - Christina. I did go to Dim Sum in Chinatown and met even more new people - lots of them. I can tell this is going to be a good year for me.
