so when I got the email maybe 3 days ago I was literally saying oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!! I hadn't expected him to do any appearances in NYC because we're reliably blue. You know how we're mostly ignored if we're not in "battleground states". GRR.
How did your son in law get to cook for him?

I hope he does another NY appearance on the weekend or when we have a day off
My son in law works in The Smith and he texted me " Your man for President Bernie Sanders was in for lunch today"

Midtown menu. Interesting and not overly expensive (for NYC).
(You gotta work on SIL so Bernie's HIS man too. But you knew that already.)

I assume, since there was very short notice, this Town Hall event was a kind of spur-of-the-moment thing - like, "hey we're already in NYC why not do a fundraiser?"

What do you work at? I work for a law firm.

I've been a teacher aide for 30 years
My friend works for a law firm too, not sure of the name
The brunch at the Smith is very good.

you have to be there.

Bernie's got roots here so I'd expect him to return.

That brunch does look good.

I haven't heard anything like it before in my life! I think I died and went to heaven!

All he has to do is show this around....
