Mojito Crawl 2007 was a blast!

Saturday's outing was fantastic. The weather was beautiful - perfect for bouncing around NYC tasting Mojitos. About 20 people came out and almost all of us were left standing at the end. (Although only two of us made it to the last spot.)

See what folks had to say about the spots we visited and check out some of the pictures!

Official Mojito Crawl Plan

Here's the list of the places we're hitting on Saturday:
- Imagine Bar & Grill (112 1st Ave)
- Cafecito (185 Ave C bet 11th and 12th)
- Esperanto (145 Avenue C at 8th Street)
- Baraza (133 Avenue C)

And if we are still standing...after 9:30 or so
- Libation (137 Ludlow between Stanton and Rivington)
- Barrio Chino (253 Broome Street) after dinner crowd

I've tagged them all on Socialight!


And create a channel specific to the crawl so we can post our thoughts after we visit each place. Check them all out here!

Hope to see you Saturday!

Unofficial Event: No More Pokemon

My last day at Pokemon is Thursday.
HOORRAH!
So I've planned a happy hour to celebrate.
Most of my crew will be there so it could be a good time for those I've told about the exNYC concept to swing by for a drink and meet some new people.
Details:

Wednesday, May 16th
Sweet & Vicious
6:00 until I fall down.

What is Expanding NYC?

When I lived in Atlanta, some of my friends and I created a group called "Expanding Atlanta" for the purpose of expanding our social network while exploring cool things to do in the Atlanta area. After two years of outings and parties, we ended up meeting tons of fantastic people and doing/seeing some awesome things we'd otherwise never done/seen.

Since I live in NYC, a city offering even more people to meet with an endless amount of outings/activities AND I'm leaving my job in about a month and will have a lot of free time on my hands, I thought it would be fun to resurrect the concept as "Expanding NYC." I'm in the process of recruiting some social planners so stay tuned for updates on upcoming activities.
