It’s holiday party time, and you’re hosting an elegant dinner party. What are some tips for having a successful party?
A. Call SCHOP! and ask for The Entertainer Package…done! You’ll be a star!
B.First, know your limitations so you can also enjoy your evening with your friends and then plan accordingly. Don’t plan on Osso Bucco when you can barely roast a chicken.

Harlem or the Upper Westside
Have you been naughty or nice this year?
Depends on who is asking…woof!
What’s the most outrageous thing you have smuggled into a bar or movie theatre?
Chinese food and a fake ID.
What's the one thing you miss whenever you leave New York?
The creative energy of the city and the logic of the mass transit system.
