It’s the Jam

          Pin It

Last night, I went to a Supper Club picnic at the Morris-Jumel mansion in Harlem, New York.

Despite being smack in the center of Manhattan, it felt like being on a farm, with fireflies, a huge quilt of grass and flowers, and – yes – mosquitos.

Just before dinner (barbecue beef tacos and watermelon salad), there was a fabulous performance by The James Gang, a contemporary dance troupe inspired by 1920s and ’30s dance styles.

There they are, in the middle of a routine, at left. It was pretty incredible, but it wasn’t the only time they performed – you can catch them every week at The Box on Christie Street.  xo faran
