/in , /by

Time for the September Mixer & Happy Hour! This month we will have a happy hour at Little Woodrow’s in Midtown. Fellow member, Natasha Costa, a senior in pre-med at St. Thomas University, is fundraising for a medical relief trip to Nicaragua this November and we thought it would be good to support her efforts. Little Woodrow’s will be donating a portion of the proceeds toward her fundraising efforts. Please see the following link for more information https://www.facebook.com/events/520156298000587/.
We look forward to seeing you!

P.S. Sorry for the late notice but I was on vacation! We are already planning the October Happy Hour and will get that invite out sooner!

About Al-Mayass:

The flagship Almayass Restaurant is located in the heart of Beirut and came into being in 1996 when the owners, the Alexandrian family, decided to introduce their Lebanese á l’armenienne mezzé recipes and specialties to food lovers all over Lebanon. Nestled in what was once an ancient villa that has been internally modified to fit a restaurant, Almayass is located in Ashrafieh, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beirut. The age-old architectural features are still preserved, giving the rustic restaurant hidden behind climbing plants and reddish tiles the intimate atmosphere in which to experience Mediterranean dining at its finest.

In the past sixteen years, Almayass has come to establish itself as a staple amongst Lebanese Armenian cuisine, expanding its presence beyond Beirut to locations including Kuwait and Abu Dhabi, and with restaurants in Qatar and Riyadh soon to open.

We hope you join us for a fun night out at this new Lebanese-Armenian Restaurant and Lounge!

Best,
