Salute to the New York Times City Section ~ May 4th @ 7pm @ 17 Murray Street

May 4th @7pm, mark your calendar for a ~ Salute to the New York Times City Section.

.

Famous authors & muggles (like me) are getting together to honor, pay tribute and entertain the amazing editorial staff of the New York Times City Section. Writers published in the City Section will read short pieces and chat about the influence the editors have had on their work & life.

.

Saara Dutton (Mama D's Arts Bordello), Sloane Crosley (I Was Told There'd Be Cake), Merrill Black (NYTimes contributing writer) & I, invite the City Section staff & all of you down to "17" located at 17 Murray Street just west of City Hall. That's two blocks from the original Newspaper Row, and three blocks from the original site of the New York Times on Nassau Street.

.

Thanks to "17" owner, Joe Fischetti, Chez Joey's restaurant is closing for three hours to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to let these terrific journalists know how much we love the City Section. The section of the paper we grab first every Sunday.

.

It's a free show, free food (appetizers), and a cash bar.

.

Doors open at 6:30pm and the festivities will start @ 7pm.

.

We promise a grand time.
