I’ve had people e-mail me about tonight’s SMA meeting, asking how much it is to join. It’s $25 for individuals, $35 for two-person households, $80 for businesses. You can join at the door at tonight’s meeting, 6 PM at Sole in the Westin Hotel. This is money well spent – if you go to most of the meetings and parties throughout the year, you’ll more than make your membership fee back in complimentary food and drinks.
The Nuh-Uh Girl has confirmed her attendance for the SMA meeting, so there may well be some new pics of the Nuh-Uh Girl eating on the blog tomorrow.
Looks like NYC Deli didn’t open yesterday as promised. They’re still doing some work on the location on the ground floor of One Commerce Square. On the other hand, I walked by A&R Bar-b-que and they are most definitely open and have a good lunch crowd.
I guess I owe Kooky Canuck bartender Meghan an apology for saying her car was illegally parked on Second the other day. As I walked down Second last night, it appeared they had re-zoned the parking so that it’s now legal. I still hate her Ole Miss license plate holder though. If you’re Downtown, go by and give her your two cents’ worth on her license plate holder. And by “give her your two cents’ worth,” I mean that’s the recommended tip to leave her next time she serves you.
Congrats to Circa, which won 8 awards in the Memphis Magazine readers’ poll: Gold for best chef, best restaurant, best atmosphere, and best wine list; Silver for best business dinner and best martini; Bronze for best service and best French/continental.
Just got back from New York Suit Exchange at Union and Danny Thomas where I bought a new dress shirt to wear to interviews. My old dress shirts don’t fit well anymore and make me feel like I’m choking. That’s a hidden value in Downtown Memphis – I got an Italian dress shirt for $15, and they measured my neck and sleeves and I was in and out in under three minutes. Very professional service.
Pint Night at Bardog Tavern from 7 to 3 tonight. All pints $3.
