<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Living or visiting New York City, </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">one must visit Petrossian at </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">The Alwyn Court; </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">it is a must experience especially during holiday season.</span></div>
</div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18px;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Alwyn Court is a 12-story apartment building, built between 1907 and 1909, designed by Harde & Short in French Renaissance style, with elaborate terra-cotta ornamentation in the Francis I style covering the entire facade. It is a distinctive building, so much to see and take in.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Petrossian is introducing </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">"The Petrossian Fleur de Vers" - it is a mixed drink with caviar powder. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">You have to sink the "Titanic Caviar" to get the aroma and flavor of the drink. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">I was skeptical about it but it was really a sensational drink (recipe is below)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">I was sipping the drink with </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">good friend from IN New York magazine's Anna Ratman .... glorious caviar hor d'oeuvres were passing around and later Caviar white chocolate!

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The six-story mansion, built in 1908 to designs by the architect C.P.H. Gilbert, was constructed for the philanthropist Felix M Warburg (d.1937). The style is a revival of early French Renaissance architecture from the period Francois I. This property was nearly demolished in the early 1940s .... fortunately the eighteen-story apartment plan did not come through and .... the original owner, Mrs Warburg donated the donated the family mansion as a permanent home for the Jewish Museum in January 1944.</span></span></div>
