And so that was Wednesday. This means we only have two more days until the weekend, or a day and half for those of us who like to slip out early on Fridays. But before that we've got a good idea: do something good.
In particular, you can help raise money for the ongoing battle against the respiratory disease Cystic Fibrosis. Team Boomer-Fighting Cystic Fibrosis is a competitive athletic club, with a goal of promoting the benefits of physical exercise. On Thursday night they're holding a fundraiser at Turtle Bay, the midtown east bar on 2nd Avenue between 52nd and 53rd. (As it turn out the place wasn't destroyed the crane collapse in March.) A mere thirty five bones buys you an open bar for 3 hours, and the ability to be as selfish and hedonistic as you want all weekend because you've already got your do-gooding done.
The proceeds go towards the Boomer Esiason Foundation's Exercise for Life Scholarship for people with CF. Tell the bartenders that DealBreaker sent you.
