THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR

My favorite day of the year has once again come and gone (luckily for me, it returns again in August). The Jazz Age Lawn Party, currently in its 9th year on Governors Island, is a fete not to be missed by anyone who loves Gatsby-era revelry. This was my third year in attendance, and I was shocked to find how many likeminded individuals gathered on the lawn on Governors Island to hear Michael Arenella & His Dreamland Orchestra perform, along with many other musicians, dancers, and even a sword swallower. I can't wait for the next party! See my previous JALP outfits here and here.
