Tasting the New Tastes on The Upper West Side at the Old Junior High School

Last night, my wife and I got to go to "New Tastes On The Upper West Side", and event where all the local restaurants give samples away and compete for a vote to win best.... something.

We had a lot of fun, a lot of good food, and the band was great.

But what was weird for me is that it was held at my old Junior High school, William . O'Shea, I.S. 44 on 77th Street and Columbus Avenue:

It reminded me of playing football out there, going to eat at the Chinese restaurant across the Street and going to Jimmy's Dad's house for lunch and to watch some MTV when it was a new thing that showed "videos" of Music! What?

Thanks to my wonderful Mom for the idea and the tickets, and for watching Pike for us so we could go. THANKS MOM!!!
