My good friend and client, Interior Designer Alla Harrington (Archives i.d.) and her husband Andrew celebrated their business anniversary at their rooftop offices on 32nd Street in Manhattan.  It was a splendid night for a open-air party with a stunning views, hot dogs for treats and an open bar . .. gulp.

I arrived early and was only going to stay for a few minutes, but then friends and clients started to make their way up to the 12th floor and the party started jumping. The DJ was playing some great jazz tunes and swinging dance beats (shuffle step and twirl).  I grabbed my camera from the coat check and started snapping. The cleverly designed offices were a perfect space to host about 70+ party goers.  Fun, fun, fun, thank you Alla and Andrew- your gathering and celebration made for a wonderful Friday night.

Last Friday night; yeah we danced on rooftops. And we took too many shots.
Then we kissed but I forgot . .. . .
