i always see work holiday parties in the movies and shows (the office), but i’ve never been to one. that is, until tonight. they rented out a room at the royal sonesta which is next to the museum of science. the view of the city was pretty, especially because it was on the charles. they had people walking around with shrimp cocktails, egg rolls, mozerella balls, and other small bites. we were given two tickets, one for a drink each. the food was actually bomb. there was some kale salad to start, along with bread. the butter had some type of fancy seasoning on it and the bread had dried pepper/tomato baked in. for my main course, i had steak with gravy, au gratin potatoes, and broccoli. to finish the night, there was creme brulee and coffee. i didn’t drink the coffee, but the creme was decent. the only thing was the music was terrible. the closest we came to good music was hey ya by outkast. hey ya is a really good song, but man, why we go to irish two stepping afterwards smh. all in all, my first holiday party was a success.
i had good company, the food was way better than expected, and although the music wasn’t up to my expectations, i had a really good time.
