El Cubano Gordo Party, 4/25/09

Note: you must RSVP to this invitation.

We dieted, we worked out.

Then we stopped dieting and stopped working out.

Let's celebrate the El Cubano Gordo competition* anyway! Please join us for a dinner celebration Saturday, April 25 at 8pm at

ESTANCIA
460 Greenwich Street near Watts Street

The menu is a prix fixe (menu below) and includes dinner, beer and wine, tax and tip for $50 a person.

Bring your appetite, your party hats, and your excuse for not losing weight. For those of you who did not participate in this weight-loss competition, bring your best sympathetic faces and nods for us losers. PLEASE RSVP to Annie (anniemuza@yahoo.com).

*The final day of the El Cubano Gordo challenge was supposed to include a weigh-in and push-up challenge. This still might happen depending on amount of beer/wine consumed (don't worry non-participants, you will not have to do these things.)
