Brighton Beach

Some of us are going to Brighton Beach tomorrow. Probably from 12 until 3 or 4 pm.

Maybe see you there....

Not supposed to rain tomorrow.  :)

Atlantic City & RossoPomodoro

Hi guys!
Do you remember that last Thursday I told you about the idea of going to Atlantic City? I fear it's going to rain, so if you are interested in going, please check the forecast and contact me. So we can decide what to do!
About Rosso Pomodoro, I checked on the net and I've a bad news: it still doesn't exist. They planned to open it in NYC, but it hasn't been opened yet. So if you have any other idea or suggestion for the lunch of next Monday 3rd, please write something here!
I'm sorry for the mistake, I hope we'll do something else together: remember that it's Paulo's last lunch with us!!!
See you,
Chiara
