We selected Astor Center because we really wanted to create a fun team building event around the end of an offsite meeting. And it all worked beautifully! Our chef gave us all a great intro to what we'd be cooking. She set us off on our projects by assigning each of us to new groups and in the end, we had a wonderful meal, a great feeling of accomplishment, a memorable end to our meetings...but best of all a renewed sense of out-of-office camaraderie. Hats off to Astor Center!
