Not even the bad weather, it rained all night long, nor the cancelation of subway service that goes to the Basque club made a dent in the dozens of people who went to the Basque club to attend the first Gayaldi. Many made their way to the Greenpoint neighborhood in Brooklyn not wanting to miss this historic event in the life of the New York Basque club.
