A Black Tie Affair

Thursday, November 6, 2008

This was a black tie event that Jared and I attended on October 25th. It was put on by the Alumni association of Mt. Sinai Medical School, there were many prestigious Doctors from around the city and elsewhere in attendance, as well as the Surgeon General, who is a Mt. Sinai Graduate! Jared was the only first year student there because he is on student council and is the alumni representative for his class. We did not really know anyone, but we still had a lot of fun, just to be out on the town in a new city was so exciting. It was held at the Pierre Hotel on 5th Ave. and 61st street, it was really a beautiful place. During the cocktail hour they had lots of passed hor'derves and wine, as well as a a buffet table set up with little things to nibble on, (of course I had to have at least one of everything :-) Then we heading into the ballroom for dinner, I took a picture of the first course because it looked so pretty. Dinner was great, and the dessert was wonderful, they served two different desserts as well as a 3-tier of petite fours per table :-) They also had dancing with a live band in between each course. We had a really nice time.

This is us with the other people at our table, they were other students 2nd, 3rd and 4th year with their dates, ( not sure who the man in the middle is).
