RISE AND SHINE....

While out for my morning walk, I couldn't help but to take this picture of the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING. I've always been impressed with this majestic symbol of New York City. The way it sticks out over the horizon of the NYC skyline; the history behind it (I bet you didn't know that it was built on the old Waldorf-Astoria site in only 14 months! ) and the number of people that travel near and far just to see it. Funny thing is, as much as I admire it (and I only live four blocks away from it), in all of my years of living here, I've never actually been up to the top of the building. No specific reason why; just never got around to it. I should probably rectify that, shouldn't I? You never know if something comes along and you aren't afforded that opportunity again.

Case in point: I'd never been up to the top of the World Trade Center. I finally got an opportunity to visit during a fundraiser and the view from the Windows of the World restaurant was simply breathtaking. A sight to behold. A month later, 9/11 happened. Talk about weird timing.


DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS


My moles tell me that last night was a pretty busy night as the nice summer-like weather brought out dollar-draftniks from all over. If last night is any indication of what to expect this summer when we are fully stacked with interns, new-hires and New York newbies, then we will surely have a rockin' summer!




CONGRATS JOE AND CLAIRE!

JOE (N.E. SUPERFAN) and CLAIRE recently got married after a long courtship. I've known these two since I started bartending on Sundays and they have always been great and loyal friends of the bar. I'm sure I speak for everyone at Third and Long by wishing nothing but the best for the both of them. And CLAIRE, we're all pulling for you! Congrats again!

It's Wednesday and in our never-ending quest to look out for the ladies of Murray Hill, we bring you GIRLS NIGHT OUT! An opportunity to kick back with reduced priced drinks SPECIFICALLY for you ($2.00 Mixed Well Drinks) and a nice selection of reduced -priced drafts for everyone ($4.00 Amstel Light, Coors Light and Blue Moon Ale). The mood is casual/laid back; a perfect opportunity for you and your girlfriends to chill out and take a break from the daily grind of work.

So ladies, join us. It's your night to chill!



OTHER WEDNESDAY HIGHLIGHTS:

YANKEES/WHITE SOX doubleheader today: Day game @ 2pm. Night game @ 8pm.

METS/CUBS- 7pm

OTTAWA/BUFFALO, NHL game 4 tonight (watch the Sens clinch the East tonight!)

CAVS/NETS, NBA, game 5 tonight (Catch America's Team as they put away the Nets!)


And finally.....


This Sunday marks the FINAL Sunday "Fun-Day" of the season before we hit our summer hiatus. Looking back on it, it was once again a great season, starting with Sunday Football with the Sunday Brew Crew and working our way through the winter. Lots of laughs, some great moments; and as always, a damn good time. I look forward to seeing you guys one last time before we scatter like dandelions in the wind. So if you are in the neighborhood this Sunday, do stop in for a couple of cold ones and a Gentleman's (or two). T-BILL- don't forget your old school IPOD! Rumor has it there will be a surprise guest (or two). Hope to see everyone there!
