Fun Yelpers
Khyber Pass Pub’s Stephanie Kuo and friend
Yelpers: Dana and Nichole. Dana tells me that if a restaurant doesn’t have nice ambiance, they will automatically lose a star, Nichole isn’t fond of inattentive servers.
music of DJ QiCommand, who also spins at the Barbary
Skin Palette was hard at work adding color and glitter to all who asked
Chris V, Nicole W and Susan G
Drew D, JP and Jamie. Drew wants you to be a Young Friends of Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis & Education and for your food to match the ambiance of your restaurant.
There were vendors and sponsors on hand to fill you up and to do your eyebrows.
Crystal, Shawn and Jackie. Jackie will subtract a star if the staff is unfriendly, no matter how good the food is; so watch out. Shawn is not fond of waiting. Crystal doesn’t like cold food. She’ll send it back and subtract a star.
Great crowds, and it was interesting to see what the former Spaghetti Warehouse looked like now. I was hoping the trolley was still in the middle of the room, it wasn’t
Luba Patlakh, Editorial Director at Insight Magazine and Lex Houser. Lex is LuAnn Cahn’s daughter. She has a clothing line. It’s cool, you’ll soon see more of it. She’s also the one who came up with her mom’s http://oneyearoffirsts.com
Jackie, Alli, Jen, Mikey Il. The oddest thing Jackie’s ever reviewed was a Dr’s office visit; Allie’s not above reviewing the PHL airport. In one trip three TSA agents hit on her. She was turned off by it, but then again her BF was right there. He said I think it’s flattering. I think he’s right.
There’s a baby in the bar, I can hear Reese Witherspoon saying. Christine, Matthew and Megan (Sweet Life Bake Shop)
Yelpers are not afraid to wear their love on their head
Blake F and Mike Wham, Marketing Manager for the next big thing ajungo. (I want some stock options)
Liza once reviewed a car body shop. They got rave reviews especially since they left mints on her dashboard and Amanda. Thank you Yelpers, and thanks for donating to my favorite charity group, The Linda Creed Foundation.
Nice! Thanks!
