Happy New Year!


I would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy, and successful New Year! 

For Over 30 years I have been catering some of the best parties from New York,  to L.A. and I have witnessed the health and success benefits of partying all around me.

So if you’re feeling guilty for feeding your face a bit too much at a party this holiday season, I have good news for you; Partying and celebrating is a healthy way of life!

Webster’s defines "partying" as “a gathering for social entertainment or the entertainment itself, often of a specific nature; as a card Party, cocktail Party..." Well they didn’t mention downing a fifth of Vodka, so I guess we can enjoy ourselves without getting hammered. 

The very act of socializing is very beneficial to your health. Here’s how it goes: Shrinks, head doctors, mental health physicians or whatever you want to call them have been telling us for years to get out and party.

Socializing and partying is a way to boost our immune system, and with so much talk about the immune system today we need all the help we can get.

Social contact in a friendly, pleasant, upbeat environment is extremely reinforcing to who we are as humans. We are by nature social animals.

Socializing and partying enriches us. So, why doesn't everyone partake in this age-old ritual? Well here are some of the reasons: I’m too old, not hip enough, too tired, don’t have the time, it’s too far, I don’t like the food they’re serving, my clothes don’t fit--go ahead add on to the list, I know you can!

Listen, it’s your life, but if you want some long overdue happiness, you can start by joining the party!
