I knew I was leaving upstate for a reunion of the Sherman group planned for Saturday night. On Wednesday, I received an invite from Winnie to a banquet held in Sunset Park on Friday night. Her father had purchased a table. I had never been to Sunset Park but heard of it. To say it was an eye-opener is an understatement! 8th Avenue is Chinatown! The banquet was held at the Pacificana restaurant on 55th & 8th Ave. A sort of fund raiser for a pagoda to be erected in the area. Winnie's father received a Lifetime Achievement award. There was a lot of entertainment....from the Lion dance, award presentation, singers, a young girl played the lute to a bevy of Asian ladies parading their cheong-sams. Throughout it all was the yummy food! It was great to see Lily and meet her family! I love a Chinese banquet and am fortunate to get an invite!! Thanks, Winnie!!
