old Westbury gardens
On
Saturday April 21, 2007 I attended a "Membership Evening"
fundraiser at Old Westbury Gardens, located in Old Westbury,
New York. One of the mansions listed on the National
Register of Historic Places, Old Westbury Gardens is a
beautiful Charles II style mansion that sits on 160 acres of
prime Long Island real estate known to many as "The Gold
Coast" here on Long Island.
The
spring cocktail reception, one of the many social events to
take place
there during the year, featured several Long Island wineries
and a few local restaurants presenting some of their best
for the guests to taste throughout the evening before the
culminating event, the silent auction. Featured in the
photos taken in the back yard of the mansion, is my friend
Sue Goldman; the guy standing next to me carefully
monitoring the baseball score in the ninth inning of the New
York Yankee/Boston Red Sox game is her guy, Steve. Steve is
from Boston and a fellow die-hard Red Sox fan like myself. I
won't mention who won that game, but I think by looking at
our faces when Sue took the picture, a good guess would be
our team.
If
you live on Long Island and would like information on
visiting hours, the summer concert series, or on how to
apply for a membership, please call 516-333-0048 or visit
