Stylish Celebration For Marilyn’s Birthday

Around Shore Fire July 4th is always a special time, and not just because we’re taking the day off for the Declaration of Independence…. Shore Fire President Marilyn Laverty’s birthday is July 3, so we’ve always got two parties going. This year, the soiree was down the street from our Downtown Brooklyn office, at the top notch Italian restaurant Frankie’s Sputino. Our party was in their 19th century stable around back, thankfully air conditioned.  The company was stellar, the food delicious, and the mood festive! Happy Birthday, Marilyn, and cheers to many more.

Birthday time again at Shore Fire!

A couple weeks ago we celebrated the birthday of resident blues lover and talented guitarist Nick Loss-Eaton. He specified a Vegan Treats brand carrot cake and I had the pleasure of dealing with their amazing customer service. After having trouble finding one in the city, they offered to drive one up all the way from Philadelphia! Luckily for everyone who likes cake (and who doesn’t?), Park Slope eatery V-Spot had one on hand. There was much rejoicing and the cake was perfect. So delicious!

In the absence of our official cake-cutter Rebecca Shapiro, Chris Taillie took over and after much argument over what “I only want a small piece” means, he rose to the occasion. Watch out Rebecca, he’s…well he has a knife.

As busy as we are these days, it’s always important to take a break for cake. Happy Birthday, Nick!
