The Park Avenue liquor cabinet got raided last Saturday, as we gathered up as many of our employees as were available to tell them how much we appreciate them. Awards ranged from the silly to the slightly-less-silly, but it was mostly an excuse to dress up nice, have a few cocktails, and listen to the musical talents of our staff musicians and DJs. Here are some pictures of your favorite baristas dressed up all pretty, taken by our photographer, 44th Street’s own Jackie Jakaitis.

For more photos, get thee to our new Flickr.

We got a very nice write-up on the GQ Eye blog this afternoon, which I figure is a pretty cool place to be. Is it odd how impressed I am by the journalistic eye that notices that there’s not an apostrophe in Gregorys?

I don’t know about you, but this almost-record-setting March has me primed for picnics in the park and long days laying out on the beach. So, in an effort to get our Iced Coffee Growlers in your pic-a-nic baskets, we’re waiving the $5 cost of the Growler as long as you pay to get it filled up. Come in, pay for the iced coffee, get the Growler for free, enjoy cold, delicious coffee in your favorite place in the world.
