On Saturday, January 14th, this site will be two years old. To celebrate this momentous occasion I’ve decided it’s time to meet you, my loyal readers, out on the town. I’ve done some research and some phonecalling and here’s what I’ve come up with…
WHAT: The Amateur Gourmet’s 2nd Anniversary Party
WHERE: The City Bakery [3 W. 18th St. between Fifth and Sixth Aves. Phone: 212-366-1414]
WHEN: Saturday, January 14th, at 4 PM.
Here’s the deal. I love The City Bakery. I always want to eat their outrageous tarts but can never think of a reason to justify the $6 indulgence. Now we have the perfect reason. I talked to several people on the phone, and they won’t reserve us a table and to rent the space after it closes would cost $150 a person. That’s a bit much. So what we’ll do is I’ll get there at 3:30 and hopefully pin down a table and as you arrive, treat yourself to a tart downstairs and meet me (and a few the many friends you’ve seen featured on the site) upstairs where hopefully we’ll have a table. The place closes at 6:30 so that gives us two and a half hours for some significant bonding and celebration. Just let me know if we can expect you in the comments to this post. Also, please don’t link to this info on your site, I’d like to keep it to loyal AG readers otherwise what are we celebrating? Maury Rubin’s tarts? No, people, we’re supposed to be celebrating me me me! Can’t wait to meet you all on Saturday.
