Brian Lawrence Live
Thurs., March 4
I joined the revelers this evening at City Paper‘s annual Cosmic Cocktail bash, held at AVAM. There was a line out the door to get into this event, always a popular one. I was greeted by CP publisher Don Farley and his lovely wife Maggie upon entering. My pal Jen Marsh, CP’s advertising director came over immediately and introduced me to staffer Donald Ely, who’s produced some cool illustrations for Style in the past year. I caught up with Sun restaurant reviewer Richard Gorelick to get the skinny on what’s going on there now that veteran critic Elizabeth Large has retired. Of all the restaurants that were represented at the party, I can easily say the tastiest thing I had all night was the thin-crust pizza from Bagby Pizza Co. in Harbor East. I had to return for seconds on that one. The mini burgers from Kooper’s Chow Hound were a close second. My friend Lars Rusins of Baltimore Foodies had a table there, manned by Foodies Neil & Deni Tabor. Ran into lots of other friends and acquaintances in the course of the evening: John Marsh & Michelle Geczy, photographer John Davis, Dru Bynum & Jamie Campbell, J.M. Giordano, Everyman Theatre’s David Alima, Bruce Alderman, and lots more. When the party was winding down, a few of us trekked up a few blocks to The Idle Hour for late-night cocktails and mingling.
