As a blogger I often get invited to review plays, restaurants, products and so on. There are some events that have their set bloggers, contacts and such, those don’t usually reach out to us. Yet I know some resourceful individuals who manage to work their way into some of these events that many of us might otherwise miss.
There were dozens and dozens of vendors and restaurants from all over the Upper West Side. The event spanned three days, and this one was dubbed “ There was a DJ providing music, a violin player, and a big band rocking the tunes! They were so good that at first I thought the music was a record being played by the DJ, then I saw the live band. There were stilt walkers, acrobats, and all sorts of cool performers. I Instagrammed it, Periscoped it, and shared this all over social media. Phil was able to get a picture with Anne Burrell who was there for a book signing! I took the picture, but she left before I could get mine. I completely understand though, she likely wanted to return to the VIP area, as she surely would have been swarmed for photos. No hard feelings, Anne, we will always have the Best of the West! Haha. There was so much food to sample: burgers, desserts, paella, you name it, it was there! The event was fantastic, the food was outstanding, and there was a great selection of drinks available throughout the evening as well. Truly a wonderful experience! If you have the budget for it, I would say next year you get yourself a ticket and give this a try. You can sample as much food as you like and explore all the great cuisine that the Upper West Side has to offer. Nom nom noms all day!
