An Evening with Slice at KGB Bar

Where will you find love on Valentine’s Day? We suggest skipping dinner and a movie. Instead, celebrate the occasion (a couple of days early) with fellow bookworms at KGB Bar. Hey, you might end up meeting the love of your life. And if that doesn’t happen, you can still kick back with a nice brew and listen to Slice contributors talk about loves won and lost.

Where: KGB Bar

When: February 12, 7pm

Who: Kathleen Alcott, Ian F. King, Sarah Gerard, Lucas Hunt, Sharona Moskowitz, and John Trotta
