Wi-Five to another BA... West meets East

Last week I posted a thread for the east coast bretheren concerning a few (3) bottle shops in the Manhattan area. Specifically what is on hand and who has the best selection in lower Manhattan. With my wife going there, I was looking for immediate availability so she wasn't overwhelmed or confused.

I offered a token of gratitude to whomever could give me 5 out of 10 "wants" that were available at these places at the current time. I was instantly responded from many ba's willing to help & give advice. However, tobelerone sent me a quick bm stating that he works very close to one of the mentioned shops and could check inventory seeing what was on hand. Once he responded, I instantly gave him a small list of (6) items I wanted. He went back to the store, pulled them aside and had an employee hold them for for pickup the following day. My wife shows up to the store the next day with the friendly staff expecting her and the beers were waiting for her.

Everything arrived home safe via baggage check and I am grateful for everyone that participated in helping out. Needless to say, toblerone will be receiving a box of west coast goodness for his offerings of kindness. These random acts of kindness are what makes this small sub-culture thrive & prosper.


Cheers!!
