oPPS this published before I was ready, damn new blogger.

Oy the summer is almost over and the Social Season is upon us, a very busy season for PhillyChitChat.com I had an awesome summer, even though I could never find the time to go away which was bad for this seasoned traveler. There was so much to cover, uncover and what was Miley Cyrus up to? I did enjoy those Miley Cyrus fans. (BTW I will write the final Paranoia chapter on Friday. I have lot of fun stories some I couldn’t write about while they were here)  Today’s entries are a combination of two events that I want to get in before I get slammed in September. Have a great last week of Summer.

R2L is proud to partner with local
celebrities and their favorite charities.
($1 from each drink will be donated to the celebrity’s
charity of choice)

6-8 pm Tuesdays +
Wednesdays throughout the summer.
Earlier this month Christie Honigman and Teresa Nino hosted a charity bartender night at R2L for PAWS. Nearly 100 of their friends came out to support their efforts and to enjoy the beautiful sunset 37 stories above the city streets.

guest, Morris Gocia, forensic accountant, Gold Gocial Gerstein LLC and Grace Flanagan who just had a birthday the other day. 

R2L owner Sue Mahoney, Theodore Simon, a Philadelphia criminal defense attorney who has some
high-profile clients you may have heard of which have included Michael Fay (Singapore caning), Ira
Einhorn (French extradition), Alain Robert, the “French Spiderman”

(“internet birth mom”), Robert Durst (wealthy heir to the New York real
estate fortune) and Amanda Knox, the American student accused of killing her room mate in Italy (WOW), and R2L Chef/Owner Daniel Stern.

Last week my friend Erin Como flew in from Nashville, Tn, where she is the traffic reporter for Fox 17, to spend a day with her Philly friends before she went on a weeks long trip to Cape Cod. (so jealous.) A bunch of us met up for lunch at Parc including Vasiliki Tsiouris, Sheena Parveen, Alissa Ingram (congratulations on her engagement), Jillian Mele, Justin Pizzi and Erin Como. that evening we all headed over to Opa restaurant (1311 Sansom Street) for a bite to eat and lots of fun. Opa is a like a clubby bar after 10PM
 
Chris Pizzi, Justin Pizzi, and Keith Pizzi and friends

Stephen Ferguson, Prudential Real Estate and Allison Papson. So excited to meet Ali after hearing so much about her through Erin and Julie Dorenbos. (Julie & Ali were college roommates. Can you imagine the stories?)
