At Stay, a very subtle sign on its front window makes this nightspot feel discreet--despite its well-traveled Houston Street location. A mod, curvaceous couch lines one wall, '60s-style lounge chairs provide additional seating, and retro-futuristic pendant lamps cast a sexy red glow. The only thing that's missing in this chic space is a snooty attitude; instead, there's a welcoming, inclusive, laid-back vibe. Happy Hour specials: $5 beers, $6 wine, $8 top shelf liquor Tell your friends and colleagues about this exciting event, and don't forget to bring your business cards! We look forward to seeing you soon! >Fong	STAY New York, NY, 10002 40.722361,-73.985612	119 Yes 5 Maybe

Our new Assistant Organizer Minnie will be hosting our shared dinner! ********************************************************* As I've recently announced, I've recently connected with ACN (partnership with ConnectionZ Promotions), world's largest telecom direct seller, and they have available awesome Trump-endorsed videophone technology (phone of the future!) that will be featured in Celebrity Apprentice primetime for 2 hours that may fit the needs of my long-time vision of videoconferencing our beloved ex-Assistant Organizer Kat (in Qingdao), our Mandarin sista Lillian (in Guizhou), our Bejing connection Chiuming and other Mandarin Mondays members....live!

Requires high-speed internet (actually it will work off wireless or possibly even cellular reception!!!) If you're interested in pitching in together as a group and investing in this phone so that we can videoconference with phone and also interestingly get involved with the future Google of telecom's expansion to China, please go to Mandarin Mondays Videoconferencing Project Fundable Account (suggested $10 - keep in mind that this is a long-term group investment...even a couple dollars will help us be able to initiate this exciting Mandarin communication barrier-breaking project faster! I've made the first donation!) Incidentally when the time is right, I may help ACN lead its expansion to China, and we can all be involved, as I have the inside connection to the regional leader Bilal Saleem (our guest speaker from last Monday's event) who's connected with the co-founders of ACN!
