American Academy in Rome Party


Friday 6 January
Holt was a Fellow of the AAR, and they give an annual party that is usually notable for impressive spaces (supplied by former Fellows - but don't look at us, we're not on that level).  This venue was certainly up to it: Laurie Olin's landscape architecture office in the Public Ledger building in Center City, offering terrific views down to Independence Hall.
The food was up to the occasion.  There was a full bar, and friendly servers circulated, offering rare tuna tacos and pulled pork sliders with cheese.  On the buffet were varied types of sushi; melted bries with fruit in puff pastry; little pizzas; all sorts of cheese, dolmades, olives, and fruits.  Like last year, we didn't have to think about dinner afterwards.
