Young alum holiday party at Vlora
Date: December 8, 2007
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Vlora, 545 Boylston St, Boston, MA
The Young Alumnae Holiday Party at Vlora Restaurant in Boston was a great success. 11 alumnae (Sharon Gershman ’00, Praggya Rustagi ’01, Jessica Varni ’03, Sarah Tan ’04, Sujatha Sebastion ’04, Claudine Johnson ’05, Faith Wallace-Gadsden ’05, Jackie O’Mara ’06, Yarimee Gutierrez ’06, Jesenia Gervacio ’07, Omaira Alicea ’07) and two guests, gathered together over great food to talk and laugh for hours. Some alumnae were recent transplants to Boston while others were from the area or had been living in the city for a few years already. Either way all were looking for a casual and fun opportunity to meet and reconnect with other Mawrters and have interesting conversations. Topics ranged from careers, fun & inexpensive activities to do in Boston such as buying same day Rush Tickets for $8 to the Boston Symphony, and of course travel stories on the T as it turned out that the Red, Orange, and Green Lines were all experiencing difficulties that night.
Vlora Restaurant specializes in Northern Mediterranean cuisine, which covers the regions of Southern Italy, Greece, and Albania, and guests dined on a variety of appetizers including filo triangles stuffed with tomato or spinach and pan roasted zucchini. The desserts were scrumptious, although unfortunately the restaurant ran out of baklava so another trip back to Vlora is definitely in order. Everyone left talking about other restaurants we should try next or possibly having a potluck dinner at one of our apartments.
