Thanks to everyone who came out to the Pine Tree Lodge on Tuesday night. Though it is a trek out to the "East Coast" of Manhattan, we basically had the bar to ourselves which was awesome!
Here's a recap from the night, including some great photos by Ada Alef (ada.alef@gmail.com).

We headed to our private back room or "Home Sweet Home" to chat, mingle, and get 1/2 off beer. Yes, those are old school skies flanking the entrance (is there any other way?)
Settling in - everyone is enjoying the half off drink specials:
Everyone's having fun... including photo bomber Ethan M.
Empty drinks on the table. We think that's a good sign:

For 10 days, OutdoorFest will bring outdoor adventure to NYC's 5 boroughs with kayaking, surfing, biking, trail running, climbing & more.
Thanks again to everyone who came out on Tuesday night - it was a blast!
