COUNTDOWN TO MARATHON SUNDAY

It's the first weekend in November and that means one thing: MARATHON WEEKEND.  The IMG NYC Marathon kicks off on Sunday and it's a great weekend around the city.  For the participants, it's the culmination of a dream: to run in one of the elite marathon races in the world.  For the spectators, it's an opportunity to cheer on friends and family members who are running in the race. It's also a great excuse to party all day long.  The bars and restaurants that are lined up along the race route are packed for brunch early in the morning and throughout the race.  It's a festive atmosphere in the city and if you're here on that weekend, it's hard not to get swept up in it. 

Speaking of the Marathon, we do a Marathon Party every year and it's a blast.  It's one of the few events of the year that I look forward to because it's such a good time.  With the runners who are here from all over the world blowing off steam, and the spectators who supported them celebrating their achievements, it's a raucous affair that goes on well into the night.  I'm sure this year's party will be just as fun.  Everything kicks off at 6pm, with $4 Domestic Drafts flowing all night long!

We had a large contingent of Marathon attendees at the bar last night and you would have thought that the Marathon took place yesterday.  With all of the dancing, consumption of Car Bombs and copious number of hook-ups taking place, you felt like you were at the Olympic Village.  If what took place was a precursor of what's to come on Sunday, you better believe I'm bringing my "A" game!  Boom.

Enough talk about the Marathon.  Look out for the pics from Marathon Sunday next week!  In the meantime, there's plenty of other things going on this weekend.  Check out our Website for more info!
