Go Long!

We are thrilled to congratulate a member of our Choice team, Brad Schmidt for his performance in the Broadway play, Lombardi! Trust us, you needn't be a football fanatic to root for this play!
Lombardi is focused around the extraordinary life of NFL legend, Vince Lombardi. A part of the famed "Seven Blocks of Granite" during his college career at Fordham University, Lombardi has been honored many times over, one of the most prestigious being the Super Bowl trophy named after him. From the living room, to the locker room, to the gridiron, Lombardi goes all the way!
Lombardi just hit the stage here in New York and will be running until February 20, 2011 at Broadway's Circle in the Square Theatre. But don't wait! Get your tickets today, as this play is sure to be a runaway hit!

Hot Times and Cold Drinks

Looking for a Mexican getaway? Well, you needn't go far! Just stop in Pelea Mexicana, the newest south of the boarder restaurant located downtown. Whether you're looking for a sit-down dinner with the family or having an unbeatable happy hour experience, Pelea is the place to go.


From homemade masa tortillas, made-to-order guacamole, mouth-watering quesadillas and mahi-mahi, this downtown hotspot is sure to hit your culinary spot. But perhaps best of all is Pelea’s amazing tequila library, featuring over a hundred tequila selections!


From the live Mariachi bands to the Mexican imagery spread out across the walls, you will feel like you have been swept out of Manhattan and been taken to a fiesta far, far away!

Will you be my Pumpkin?

Here at Choice, we've caught...pumpkin fever! Needless to say, the fall atmosphere came pouring into New York City and we've been hit. Bring on the fall scarves, boots, and cozy sweaters. But most of all, throw pumpkin flavored–anything our way…we mean it! From pumpkin bread, pie, icecream, pancakes, shakes, and muffins... we love it all. Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spice Latte is a hit in our office (make it a Venti, please!) and even pumpkin butter stirred up taste buds this past weekend for Jeanette, who is also a self-proclaimed “pumpkin-holic.”

But if you ask anyone here in the Choice office what our absolute favorite pumpkin flavor item is, you would get a unanimous vote for…Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale! Yes, pumpkin beer is a hit here and is conveniently chilling in our office kegerator. So, come by for a visit and pour yourself a fall-flavored glass and join the pumpkin-obsessed!

Salley's Shoes Are Made for Walkin'

This month, the Choice planner we all know and love will be strapping in and lacing up for the annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Trekking an impressive 39 miles over the span of two days starting October 16th, Salley will join thousands of others in a city-wide march to raise funds for medically under-insured men and women and to support ongoing research for a cure, not to mention raising awareness for an amazing cause.

As many of us have unfortunately experienced, Salley’s brush with breast cancer touched close to home. Just before her junior year of college, Salley received the devastating news that her mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Thankfully, the shock came with an optimistic prognosis and her mother successfully made it through chemo, surgery, and radiation and continues to live in remission.

So here’s where you step in! Salley needs your support to reach her fundraising goal of $2400 before her walk, a BHAG for sure, and we love it! So, jump in and pony up – every donation helps and brings us all one step closer to putting an end to breast cancer!

Cocktails and Culture, anyone?

Last Tuesday, Choice staffers were on hand at the Guggenheim Museum for a cocktail reception held in honor of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates. Here, the staff had the chance to be around many prominent speakers, delegates, and missions from around the world, while taking in the stunning pieces of artwork on display. While greeting guests, Choice’s staff was thrilled to be a part of such a “worldly” event!


Some of our lovely ladies are seen below at the event, waiting to greet guests!

Choice "Shows Hope"

On September 24th, Choice Productions paired up with Truth be Told PR and SKYY Spirits for this year’s Show Hope event. All ticket proceeds from last night's event went to the American Cancer Society, helping facilitate cancer patients and caregivers traveling to NY for treatment. This year’s Show Hope event was held at the Cassa Hotel & Residences which featured décor of the tri-level Showtime House. Each room was decorated and themed with one of the network’s original series - Dexter, Weeds, Nurse Jackie, and many others


Our Choice bartenders manned the bars for each penthouse floor and rooftop, mixing up the night's signature themed cocktails. Guests enjoyed the drinks, hors d’oeuvres, silent auction, and exciting music that was provided at the event! Most of all, Choice Productions was thrilled to Show Hope!
