September events announced at The Boarding House

Our newest blogger, Kelly, posted a review of The Boarding House last week. We are both big fans of the show Check, Please! which Alpana Sing has hosted for the past several years and we're thrilled with the success of her restaurant, which opened last December.

Here's the latest Boarding House press release to show up in my inbox, so I wanted to share. Sounds like some lovely events are coming up there!
