hotsnack: tent up – party on

It’s 10am in New York City. Do you know where you party is? As you read, the street in front of 145 West Broadway has been closed. The tent is going up. All preparations for the super-fete happing tonight for the 25th Anniversary of The Odeon. About 1500 invitations have gone out worldwide (yes you should have gotten it by now) including building residents, members of Community Board #1 (who were nice enough to approve the street closing and tent raising) literati, chefs, actors and the local police precinct. About 1000 celebrants are expected. The 1200 square-foot tent’s technically spec’d to hold 250 – so let’s hope for good weather or svelte guests. Normal traffic resumes at 1am tonight.
