"Looking back at
simpler times can often translate as a sort of comfort food:The good taste of a
light or dark...or both...that could be shared amongst patrons or professors,
sitting 'round a communal table at McSorley's. The fine flavor of premium
cigars, or pipes held by fashionistas, next to show biz folk, next to
politicians, and more - sitting chair by chair 'round a circle and just jiving
with one another.
The most satisfying
tradition of all, however, is one whereas we, as a society, stop to help one
another. The comfort food of helping people onto their feet and providing
them with hope, is the type of timeless meal that we should all be serving -
aside from our ales, puffs and posturing. It's the naked sentiment of understanding
that humankind should be humbled at times - for the good 'ole times are
unfortunately not always experienced nor enjoyed by everyone.
We invite you to join us
in a night of old fashioned fun, conversation and common ground. A night
where we can come together with help from our fine friends at McSorley's &
Nat Sherman International. And aside from old fashioned socializing and a
tribute to friendship - it is the kindness of strangers that shall be bestowed
unto the people that the mission of Part Of The Solution (POTS) reaches out to
in our community;
'...a loving community
in the Bronx that nourishes the basic needs and hungers of all who come to
(their) door. Since 1982, POTS has welcomed thousands of individuals with
different needs, backgrounds and stories - all of whom share one common
goal: To have their dignity restored. Through specialized programs,
a high standard of caring and a warm meal, we strive to achieve that goal for
each person who seeks it.' (potsbronx.org)
