Since “staycations” seem to be all the rage these days, I thought that I’d throw an Independence Day party at my apartment in Manhattan’s Hamilton Heights neighborhood for all of my friends not going out of town (Since this wasn’t a formal event, I’m going to leave off everybody’s full names and professional affiliations from this post).
With a major assist from Jocelyn, some serious mixology by Heidi, chicken salad from Nichelle, help on the grill from David, Catherine, and Nichelle, and generous gifts of grillable items and drinks from all of my friends who were able to make it, it turned out great. Some other highlights included the pizza David made on the grill, Sean’s chicken sausages, the Shock Top, my “Sermon on the Grate,” and Devin’s chicken skewers.
Stay tuned for the next one, coming up in the next couple of weeks.
