| Nobody likes a rat, so we can’t tell you about the '20s-themed party we attended Friday night at Stalco Construction’s Islandia, Long Island HQ, which was transformed into a speakeasy complete with two Tin Lizzies. But this is what the event with 200 execs may have been like. And perhaps BBS Architecture & Engineering’s Gary Robertson, Nautilus Consulting’s Ian Street, Stalco’s Kevin Dunathan, Atlantis Marine World’s Ray Doyl e, and Stalco’s Robert Isbit, Alan Nahmias, Carol Donato, Lauren Mancuso, and Kevin Harney might have attended. |

| Monastero Architecture’s Philip Monastero with Stalco’s Joe Galvin and Michael Bjertnes. Philip tells us corporate and medical interior work is picking up as people look to move into better space. Stalco’s diversifying its historically public project base—which currently includes renovations of Erasmus Hall High and Ward Melville HS—with a teleconference room for Computer Associates and $1.3M rehab for Southold IGA. It’s also raising money to build a playground for the New Interdiciplinary School, hitting $45k of its $60k target. NIS is honoring president Alan Nahmias and principal Kevin Harney as Men of the Year on Nov. 5. |

| “Tommy DeVito,” Intandem Project Management’s Denise Burke,“Jimmy Conway,” and Precision Signs’ Tony Connelli. The impersonators are really Vincent Caravello, whom Joe Pesci’s mother once mistook for her son, and Joseph Manuella, who’s been emulating Robert DeNiro for 30 years and even stunt doubled for him in The Fan and Great Expectations. Outside of the sign business, Tony impersonates a ’65 convertible Mustang restorer and blues guitarist. |

| Atlantis Marine World’s Ray Doyle and Maria Pallace with Great American Brokerage’s Paul Fetscher, Foresite Realty Advisors’Larry Gruttemeyer, and Smith & DeGroat’s Thomas Pavone. Paul, tells us CCIM NY Metro chapter (which he heads) is having a morning session on syndication followed by discussions on distinguishing yourself in the market (Info). The following day,Larry reports,NYSCAR is having a seminar focusing on discrimination in commercial real estate, followed by a market roundtable (Info). |

| Berkman, Henoch, Peterson & Peddy’s Gregory Peterson, Flushing Commercial Bank’s Patricia Mezuel, and Atlynx Surety Brokers’ Lou Spina. Congrats to Gregory and Patricia, who just tied the knot and are getting ready to move to a new house in Locust Valley. Unlike her '20s-inspired frock, her wedding dress didn't have feathers. |
