NYC/NJ Area Brunch at Brendans
« on: September 11, 2009, 08:56:20 am »
It's time to gather the ANers in the NY/NJ area for fun, food and laughs!

When:  Saturday, November 7 at 12 Noon
Where:  Brendan's Bar and Grill - 42 W. 35th Street - Between 5th and 6th Avenue
Who:  Anyone who lives or is visiting the area, anyone who has, had, or wants to have  :D an AN!

Wendysig and moi are coordinating, so feel free to PM either of us if you have questions.  And, as we get closer, let us know if you plan to attend so that I can book a suitably large table. 

Brendan's has a fixed price brunch menu on weekends; figure on around $25 per person all inclusive.  For more info on the restaurant, click here http://www.brendansbar.com/

Hope you ALL can make it!  We promise lots of laughs and good friends.

Awesome!  Sounds like we are going to have our largest gathering ever!  Wcrimi, hope to finally meet you!  Madison, JeffB, Another NY Newbie - looking forward to meeting all of you!

I'll get a firmer headcount as we get closer so I can reserve a large enough table at the restaurant.  And, I'll PM everyone with my cell phone number for any last minute changes/questions.  In the meantime, spread the word!

warmly,
Debbi (and Wendysig)

Just wanted to update this for those of you in our area who are keeping track - YES, we are still brunching on Nov 7 at noon in NY and anyone who lives are is visiting the area is invited.  It's nothing formal, just a fun gathering.  Laughs guaranteed!
