Happy Halloween!
It is hard to believe that it is already Halloween and the 2020 election with the holidays just around the corner.
It is impossible to talk about anything but the election when I am out and about with the pups. As we enter a stressful week, I wanted to share with you something my grandma always said, "There is always something to be grateful for!"
And although nothing this year feels familiar, there are ways to create many new and special memories.
I love Halloween. Living in the West Village, I have for years taken in the parade with many fun costume choices and friends. This year, a small group of friends have decided to create a new memory. We will have a backyard BBQ costume party with the theme "Reuse and Reinvent." It allows us to social distance but still get together. We decided that we must use past costumes to create our new costume this year. The bonus, the money we would have spent on a costume will be donated to our favorite charities. I have chosen Gods Love We Deliver and Meals on Wheels.
How ever you take in the next few weeks, I wish you joy, peace and the reminder, "There is always something to be grateful for!"

The Beatrice Inn’s Future At Its Historic Spot Is Up In The Air
The building’s landlord put the space up for rent while simultaneously in lease negotiations with chef and owner Angie Mar. The Beatrice Inn’s current lease is up at the end of January, and Mar is in talks with the real estate firm over a possible extension in the space.
David Nachman, a partner at the real estate firm that owns the space, confirms with Eater that negotiations are ongoing but confidence levels are not high that a deal will be struck, he says. According to Nachman, Mar hasn’t paid full rent on the space since March.

Restaurateur Teams Up With Shake Shack For Burger
The Bar Sardine Burger will be available for one day only at Shake Shack before moving to Fairfax's menu in the West Village. Shake Shack is teaming up with Lower Manhattan restaurateur Gabriel Stulman for a one-day collaboration before taking his famous burger recipe to a West Village eatery.
The popular burger was previously on the Bar Sardine menu, but Stulam had to shutter the gastropub at the end of August. Bar Sardine was one of two West Village restaurants that Stulam had to close down because of losses from the coronavirus pandemic.
