Singles with Savoir Faire Celebrate Simchat Torah
On the Upper West Side -- Courtesy of the Orthodox Union

The Upper West Side of Manhattan is the place to be for Jewish singles
on Simchat Torah.  And the Orthodox Union is offering men and women
who are searching for that special someone, the chance to be part of
all the action. A pre-holiday dinner and music event, earlier in the
week, kicks off the celebration, which includes full gourmet meals and
luxury accommodations for the duration of the holiday.

On Tuesday, September 28, at 7:00 p.m. there will be a Simchat Beit
Ha'shoeva
dinner with live music in the Village Crown Restaurant
Succah. There is a $15.00 restaurant minimum.  Reservations must be
made by Monday, September 27.

Before the holiday begins, Friday night, October 1, out-of-towners
can check in to the Beacon Hotel (on West 74th Street and Broadway)
where one-bedroom suite accommodations are available for $275 per
night.

Both traditional and vegetarian meals will be offered at two area
gourmet restaurants: Levana will offer Friday night dinner and
Shabbat afternoon lunch.  Mendy's will offer all four holiday meals.

For more information and/or to make reservations, please call (212)
613-8300.  Reservations can also be made online at
www.ou.org/nysingles.
