Australians in New York Event Review

It. Was. Awesome. If I could stop there, I would, but you probably want some more details about what went on. 

On Thursday, July 11 we had 89 Australians (and New Zealanders) people at Bluestone Lane's brand-new Bowery Café on Kenmare Street for an awesome party powered by Jasper, Lightman Law Firm, and me, America Josh!

The aim of the night was a chance for some Australians to meet each other and most importantly to help those who are new to the city with some tips, tricks, and advice; and we sure did that!

We saw so many awesome people both new and old to the city helping each other, networking, and high-fiving, and couldn't be happier. Check out the gallery below!

I need to thank my partners for the evening, Jasper, and Lightman Law Firm for their awesome advice and contributions to everyone at the event. I would also like to thank Bluestone Lane for putting on such a great show. Finally, I would love to thank every single attendee for their awesome contribution to the event. Without you, there's no event at all!

I need to thank Bluestone Lane for putting on the event tonight, it's been a great venue. We've got some good Australian beers with Cooper's, some pies, some sausage rolls.

I need to thank Jasper for sponsoring the event as well as Lightman Law Firm. They've been amazing to work with.
