Meeting in Manhattan for a Big 'Brass' Brunch

From Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey and Florida, 14 family members gathered in Manhattan on Saturday for some great food and conversation.

Nanette, who recently relocated to Shelter Island, and her daughter, Courtney, visiting from Florida, were in the city to see the Lion King on Broadway. A conversation between Nanette and Dan last month sparked a plan for a meet-up. Vivien then arranged for a wonderful brunch at Lexington Brass, the Midtown restaurant where she is a manager.

The well-fed folks seated around the table from the near left are: Christine, Andy, Patrick, Kevin, Kevin, Shanna, Brien, Vivien, Kathy, Nanette, Courtney, Kathy, Julie and Dan.
