This one is for the true patrons of our brand – and the special subscribers who influence the engagement of Toasting The Town by their friends and family. Inviting people you know to subscribe is the key to winning this quarterly contest.
What better a way to thank the ‘movers and shakers,’ of our brand than to say, “Sit down, relax and feast on a wonderful meal after being so busy in ‘Toasting,’ to our publication.” The more friends you invite, and who convert/subscribe, the better the chance you have to win;
Dinner for 2 AND Cocktails with Friends @
Park Avenue Tavern (99 Park Avenue @ 39th Street).
Details:
After you’re done noshing on hummus, sipping on tomato bisque or chomping away at the best tavern hanger steak this city has to offer – have a few friends link up with you for some after dinner drinks on the house. This dinner and bar tab combination is perfect for an intimate meal followed by the chance to truly be ‘Toasting The Town’ with your pals.
