Every Monday, about 100 women - mostly from the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City - gather at a Park Avenue restaurant for one thing: to play mahjong, a dominoes-like game that originated in China.
"My members, most of them are from Manhattan, and I'd say the majority of them are from the Upper East Side, but I've got West-siders, I have a few people from Brooklyn," said Linda Feinstein, organizer of the Manhattan Mah Jongg Club.
"I have a group that comes in from Beverly Hills every single year for 10 days, and they play mahjong on one of the Mondays," she said.
