So many fun things passed this past week that I am sad I didn't get a chance to send a heads up about! I'm in full swing on my project at work, but know that I am always thinking of yall and will do my best to keep up: ).
This is exciting news: for those of you who follow or know about MidtownLunch.com, a great food blog dedicated to the eats in Midtown and around NY really, there was a drawing that I entered for a spot at the taping of Wine Library TV + free dinner at Lily's Restaurant...and guess what: I WON (proof)!! I'm going to the taping tomorrow! and Zach from ML will be there too! You can watch from the outside too - Roger Smith Hotel, 47th and Lex, 6p taping. I'm so excited--stop by! Will let you know how it is: ). Got free VIP tix for Earth, Wind, and Fire/Chicago this Sun too--oh what fun!
