Happy Friday (the 13th!) -

 

The weekend is almost here, hope you're ready!  I celebrated today over a delicious lobster roll from the Red Hook Lobster Truck (see pics and my review HERE: ).   

 

GIVEAWAY! 

To kick off the weekend, I have a quick giveaway!  Did you miss seeing a film at this year's Tribeca Film Festival?  If so, you can check out some of the Tribeca Film titles here on Amazon: www.amazon.com/tribecapromo, especially the big films of this year's Festival - Last Night (Keira Knightly, Sam Worthington) and The Bang Bang Club (Ryan Philippe)! 

• The first 5 people to email (nycolor...@gmail.com) and let me know what you're looking forward to doing this summer in NY, I'll send you a unique code to order any of the movies for free, compliments of American Express! 
• I'll also have a few cards to give out if you find me this weekend: ).
