Holidays in New York: Battle of the (Matzo) Balls
Even when you're a card-carrying member of the Chosen People, it's easy to feel a little left out during the holidays--particularly on Christmas Eve. Maybe that's why thousands of Jewish singles are abandoning their kitschy-but-predictable Chinese food dinners and spending the big night in a ginormous, sweaty mosh pit with other like-minded revelers.
The big question this year isn't whether or not to get your freak on at one of these Jews-gone-wild events, but which of the two biggest parties attend. While The Matzo Ball might be better known (it's held in six cities across the country), our money is on The Ball, touted by organizers as "the biggest Jewish singles event in the country for 12 years running."
This year's shindig will take place at five Manhattan venues simultaneously--Hiro, The Cabanas, The Park, Highline Ballroom and Earth--with complimentary Hummer and Escalade limousine service between events. And if 3,500 sauced-up, randy, unattached partiers doesn't sound like entertainment enough, The Ball hopes to tempt you with live music from the 80s revival band Booga Suga, aerialists, seven DJs and the proverbial "more."
The only thing missing? Mistletoe. But if past events are any indication, you probably won't need it.
