A huge thanks to Lower East Side standby Pianos and Paul, the bar manager there, for winning over the mediabistro.com crowd once again. Between the cozy upstairs lounge -- which our design devotees could certainly appreciate -- a dinner menu that hit the spot, and some free shots to a lucky few, a great time is always had by mb at Pianos! Susan Welt proved to be a most gracious host, sporting smiles as big and bright as the pink boa she rocked. Special thanks to our mb volunteers Laura and Joe for pulling this party together.
