For many of us that live in New York and around the world, we generally celebrate the New Year on December 31st for New Year’s Eve and January 1st of course.

I Forgot It’s Wednesday Supper Club Returns To NYC February 6th
As crazy as New York City can actually be, sometimes it is really good to experience something amazing yet have it be in a quieter, controlled setting where your focus is a lot better and you can enjoy things at a better decibel. This seems to be a great concept for a supper club called I Forgot It’s Wednesday, or IFIW for short. Run by husband and wife team Matt & Jenny Dorsey, IFIW made leaps and bounds as the number one superclub in San Francisco by 7×7 Magazine (over Michelin-starred Lazy Bear) and was also featured in top food publications such as SF Weekly, Eater, The Village Voice and more. So what makes IFIW so special?

Jonathan’s Ristorante Boasts Refined Italian Cuisine & More
In any area of New York, it is very hard for any type of business to establish longevity with how competitive each environment is. Food, fashion, technology and more, it is dog eat dog out there and only the smart and strong ones really do survive. Jonathan’s Ristorante, a staple smack dab in the middle of Huntington Village, has been able to do that since 1994 and has done it absolutely beautifully now that I have finally been into this place since living virtually two or three miles from it since I was eight years old. With its refined approach to Italian cuisine, Jonathan’s expertly takes each dish it provides and puts enough TLC into it to really make what you are having not just another plate of food, but an experience.
