Last night was our first night-time NYC meetup and it was so much fun. We started the evening with happy hour at a bar in Midtown where the drinks were cheap but the crowd was loud, so we moved to a quiet Thai restaurant a few blocks away in my old ‘hood, Hell’s Kitchen, where we Addie Pray kept ordering bottle after bottle of wine and we got kicked out after hanging there for four hours (how was it four hours? I seriously thought it had been two hours, tops). Pictured above is (from bottom left to right: Sonia, Aurora, Wendy, Coconot, JustMax, TaraMonster, Addie Pray, and Nancy, who’s the editor of the PopSugar network which syndicates some of my content each week). More pics after the jump.

Oh they kicked us out? I have a foggy memory. Like, I don’t remember, but I’m sure it’s not possible, that I ordered all those bottles. I think they just appeared out of no where.

Also, those pictures are AWESOME. Really, New York, you are a good group of meeter-uppers.

That’s because we were outside when they kicked the rest of the group out (what a bunch of hooligans!).

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Wendy has the best-looking commenters on the internet!

Aww wish I lived in NY! Looks like fun!

Love the wine and secrets photo! I had so much fun last night and it so was great meeting all of you. I did require a very large coconut water this morning after all that wine. Haha.

Also, hi Nancy! Didn’t you guys love Nancy? I’m so glad she came. Nancy and I met our freshman year of college. She lives in THE CUTEST LITTLE APARTMENT EVER in Brooklyn, and now I really, really want to move to Brooklyn.
