The one thing in life I’ve always known to be true is that New York City is my home.

I figured this out from a very early age, over the course of many childhood visits to my grandmother. She moved to NYC in 1995 and lived here for almost thirty years.

If you’re reading this, it means that you have been a special part of my NYC experience. This party is dedicated to my Nana — the reason why I fell in love with this city in the first place — and to all of you — the reason why I continue to love living here every day.
