The Honorable William C. Thompson, Jr.
New York City Comptroller
was our luncheon guest

at VINE, located at 25 Broad Street on March 21,2002.

Comptroller Thompson proved to be a very entertaining speaker. Drawing on his experience teaching young children, he compared the City's fiscal situation to Aesop's tale on the ants and the grasshopper (the simile actually worked)! The Comptroller graciously fielded questions from all in attendance. On another note, we extend our compliments to Vine - the food and hospitality were great!"
