Growing up in New Jersey, bat mitzvas were all about the elegant parties.
No driving, no sleeping. Live it up like it's the weekend, when the DJ play the right song gonna drink, gonna party all night long
If I want to party, I'll party at my house.
I've never actually been to prom.
All summer long we spent dancin' in the sand, and the jukebox kept on playing Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
We interact with the crowd, turn it into a party.
It happened in Miami, in Coral Gables, a great big ol' Cuban wedding. It was pretty intense.
In New Orleans, we celebrate everything. It's probably the only place you'll see people dancing in a funeral home.
Tell them we'll be dancing, dancing 'til we drop, it's time to get down and do the Horizontal Bop.
In a bar mitzvah, you do the candle-lighting ceremony with the cake. Every birthday, the cake is the big moment.
I never went to the school dance.
The party is a true art form in Sydney and people practise it a great deal. You can really get quite lost in it.
I love the idea of the street vibe, having folks together, out in the street at midnight.
One of the best moments I've ever had in New Orleans is seeing Bourbon Street filled on a weekend night not long ago. Just watching the city breathe again.
I like to keep Valentine's dinner light so you don't crash after and can keep the fun going through the night!
