Fiaf Members' Holiday Party

1. Not enough champagne 2. Not enough food 3. I missed half of songs because room was not indicated

Since I paid $65 for this event, it was ungracious to require a ticket to get a slice of cake!!! Hor d' ouvers were too few and uninteresting

Crowded, poor wine (at a French event?), poor food. One would expect due to the place and the organization that this would be a class event. It was quite the opposite.

The event was from 6.30 until.. Hmmm. Party bulletin didn t even include this info. It turns out it was only 2 hours. My friends who were travelling from Queens got to enjoy the party for 15 min.. There was no food when they arrived and they were told they couldn t have dessert too! (There were no cake tickets left..) All I can say is try harder next year even though I am not going to join you. Truly yours, FIAF member

This is a nice & stylish affair organized by the Alliance Francaise, but don't expect too much: while drinks are free flowing & passed hors d'oeuvres are delicious, there are hardly enough of them, and the bar closes early in the already brief 2-hr time frame of the event, that is kept to the minute. Entertainment are live Christmas carrolls & a luxury goods raffle. Within its genre, it's a very good event, but be sure this type of thing is according to your taste.

Crowd seems to be getting older every year. Venue is nice, if a little hard to get to at 75th/5th, and certainly a mainstay of the event. Not sure raffle drawings are that entertaining - maybe just flash the numbers and have people come by to claim. Food was good, if a little scarce. Champagne was good and wait staff good as well.
