RECAP: LUNAR NEW YEAR PARTY 

 

 

On the evening of March 19th, a festive crowd gathered in celebration of the Year of the Sheep at NAAAP-NY's Lunar New Year Party.  Against the elegant backdrop of KOA Restaurant, revelers enjoyed hors d'oeuvres and cocktails over conversation while ushering in good tidings for the year ahead.

 

Setting the mood for the evening were cultural performances showcased by NYC Girls Dance, who mesmerized with their graceful Asian dances, while the NYU Rhythm Impulse (NYURI) got everyone into the Lunar New Year spirit with lively beats from their poongmul drums. 

  

The festivities continued into the evening with an after-party at The Chester @ Gansevoort Meatpacking.  By all accounts, it was a spectacular evening, and we'd like to thank all our guests, as well as our sponsors: Goldman SachsMorgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase!
