Long since the beginning of COACD, party planning has been an intern tradition (and specialty). The 2009 Holiday Party was no exception to the usual fun. Armed with a page-long list of accoutrement, I hit Whole Foods’ TriBeCa outpost. The tastiest and most-popular crudite was the pickled mushroom pile. We definitely would have been able to sustain the crowd with our supply of Swedish Fish and meat smorgasbord. Our open bar stayed open all night, and provided guests with two options: whiskey or bubbly. The ladies loved the Maker’s Mark. The key to a good office party? Leaving it to the intern!
