The Nathan R. Sobel American Inns of Court held its annual Holiday Party at the Sheraton Hotel in Downtown Brooklyn on Monday. Approximately 60 members packed into the Avere Ristorante inside the hotel, where they shared drinks and dinner.
Everyone was impressed with the food and location, and only paused briefly to listen to a few words from Inns President Victoria Lombardi-Bodnar.
“I’d like to welcome everyone to our holiday party,” Lombardi-Bodnar said. “As the new president, I just want to say thank you all for making my first few months easy and fun. I really appreciate being your president. I have so many people to thank.”

Lombardi-Bodnar also took a moment to highlight the work that Lucy DiSalvo does for the bar association and gave her a gift certificate to show everyone’s appreciation.
“There is one person who we couldn’t get along without, who keeps us all organized, who sends out info for all of our programs and keeps us together basically — and that’s Lucy DiSalvo,” Lombardi-Bodnar said.
SUNSET PARK — “As a resident of Marine Park, one of the great surprises I found biking around Industry City and visiting Japan Village was to discover Bush Terminal Park. I continue to be amazed at the serene hideaways that the city offers in some of the busiest places — and, still, with an iconic view.”
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — ‘A miracle that no one was killed …’ That’s what neighbors are saying about the collapse of the Hotel St. George marquee. Shown in this photograph are workmen beginning the removal and repair of the historic, old neon sign at the corner, referencing a relic of Brooklyn Heights’ past: the St. George Hotel.
ATLANTIC AVENUE — Exhausted shopper with cluster of bags and goods from mall at Boerum Place stops to look at huge construction site across the street. “Is that REALLY going to be a jail??” Her male companion is reassuring, “Nothing like Rikers … this is 21st Century.”
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — Overheard in line at one of most popular pastry outlets on Montague Street: “Hope I can get them into a camp …” A mother with two pre-schoolers in tow was showing a friend the Dodge Y flyer for Healthy Kids Day on Saturday, April 18.
