Yesterday, former mayor Ed Koch celebrated his 85th birthday a little early (it's December 12), with a party at the St. Regis Hotel. Guests included Mayor Bloomberg, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, former Senator Alfonse D'Amato and Dr. Henry Kissinger—check out this picture of Koch in a crown-like chair! He reflected on his time as mayor—"I thank the people of the city of New York for having given me their confidence and their trust and the opportunity to do what I loved so much"—and discussed his post-quadruple bypass diet (he needs to gain weight), "Ice cream, Peking duck, Peter Luger's steaks -- I'm doing it under doctor's orders! I'm doing terrific. I'm enjoying my life."




this guy is obsessed with his own death. isn't his tombstone already standing at trinity?
Kroch & Bloomerbag... well, Kissinger, former sec'y of state, is used to dealing with rich queens.
Has Ed Koch come out of the closet yet?
Sort of.
In long, recent interview he spoke very well about the honor in public service, but his regrets included not having a companion. Straight men seek wives or girlfriends, but not companions.
Let's remember he is from a very different generation.
what's the death pool odds on this group?
