An amazing Holiday Drinks with New Friends 2019

WHAT AN AFTERNOON! Saturday, December 14 brought over 80 Australians, Americans and expats from around the world to The Lost Lady in Alphabet City, New York for an afternoon of holiday cheer and new friends.

There were new arrivals, those who have lived in the city forever, and everything in between with one mission: A holiday drink with new friends.

“This was a great event organized, extremely well and allowed us to meet fellow Aussies living in NYC. It was well timed particularly for those of us missing family and friends during this Christmas season.”

– Elizabeth

This message is one that is familiar to all of us who live abroad, and one that I'm really trying to help with my America Josh events.

Thanks very much to The Lost Lady, and our fantastic sponsors below. Thanks especially though to all of you who got out into the weather to bring the holiday spirit to the East Village!

If you want to be notified about the next one, be sure to subscribe to my mailing list at the bottom of the email!

Happy Holidays!

Lightman Law Firm was founded upon the principles that open and frequent communication, mixed with highly personalized and honest service provided at reasonable fees, should be the standard rather than the exception.

Doug (Lightman) and his team have been the first to email me with news about visas, and come highly recommended both personally and from LOTS of others in my network.
