Aquavit Swedish Restaurant
13 West 54th Street
New York, NY


Dear Aquavit,

I am thinking about throwing a Crayfish party for my friends. I hear it is a tradition in Sweden. Is this true? I've never been to Sweden but I've enjoyed your meatballs on occasion. Delicious! I think the party should be a lot of fun. More fun than the Fluffer-Nutter party I had last year I hope. What a mess! Anyway, I have almost everything I need but I think I'm still missing a few items. I figured I'd write straight to the experts on this one. If you have any tips on where I can get some of these items, please let me know.

I still need:

    Crayfish
    A place to hold the party
    Cold drinks (no Sprite please)
    One (1) whistle
    Crayfish forks (crayfish sporks acceptable)
    Crayfish bibs (lobster bibs NOT acceptable)
    A Swing Band
    Some friends

I look forward to your swift reply. The party is at 7:00 next Wednesday.

Diplomatically (and ready to party),

Rudy Schumann
