Get ready for your "Second Act"

A breakfast and panel discussion that will

inspire and ignite you for "what's next".



Date: October 8, 2008

Time: 8:00 to 10:00 a.m.

Place: The Yale Club (NYC) 50 Vanderbilt Ave

(across from Grand Central)

Price: $68.00



The Three Tomatoes is our second act so speak, having transitioned into this from a career we loved in advertising. But despite what the bumper sticker says, change is not always your friend. And transitions whether planned or unplanned are not always smooth. Which is why so many of us stay put until we're forced to move, panic when we're faced with change, or just take the Scarlett O'Hara "I'll think about it tomorrow" philosophy. Let's face it. We're "women who aren't kids" and jumping off that proverbial cliff in mid-life can be just plain scary. We know, we've been there.



Join The Three Tomatoes for breakfast and a panel discussion featuring a group of amazing women "who aren't kids", who will inspire and ignite you for your next act. The panel will cover the gamut from advice for women entrepreneurs, transitions to new phases of careers and life, and real stories from tomatoes who have dramatically changed their careers and their lives, and are loving it.

What a wonderful town


We fully admit our totally unabashed, shout it from the rooftops, love of New York City. (Just in case you
haven't figured that out by now.) New York is quite simply the greatest City in the world.
Why? Because it's all here, rolled up in one incredibly complex, microcosm, cosmic, life altering, orgasmic
kaleidoscope. Yes, we know, it sounds like The Three Tomatoes (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470591/goto:[www.thethreetomatoes.com]) have been hitting the martinis again.
And poets, and artists, and singers, and writers, and movie makers have all said it and sung it and visualized it far better than our
simplistic little prose could ever do. But the thing is, even the best of those never really quite capture what it is that makes
this place so great. It's the feeling, it's the energy, and it's the vibes. New York is a living breathing
entity that changes minute by minute.


Now New Yorkers love discovering New York on our own. We pride ourselves on the great little
restaurant find, the fun little out of the way boutique, the off-off-off Broadway Show that our doorman's sister's husband's boyfriend who's an actor
has the lead role in. But there's just so much to uncover that even those of us who live here need some help
staying in the know. Sure we read the New York Times, and The New Yorker, and New York Magazine
and Time Out, just like everyone else. Yes, just like everyone else. Which is the
point of today's email. Here are a few of our favorite New York City web sites that aren't like everyone else with things and
stuff about all things NYC.


Out of the mouths of New Yorkers themselves


One of our absolutely favorites is AskaNewYorker (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470615/goto:[www.askanewyorker.com]). This site is fun, wacky, useful, and irreverent. Just like New Yorkers, which
is the point. AskaNewYorker.com (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470615/goto:[www.askanewyorker.com]) is New York's only
website where you can find out just about everything there is to know about New York City from the people who know it best: New Yorkers
themselves. Like, why is New York called the "big
apple". (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470619/goto:[www.askanewyorker.com]) The "A" list (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470618/goto:[www.askanewyorker.com]) of restaurants
and other establishments most often recommended by other New Yorkers, not those stuffy critics from, well you know.
The top 10 bo (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470617/goto:[www.askanewyorker.com] real New Yorkers are
reading. And no, DaVinci Code is not one of them. And fun articles like how to tell a Mets fan from a Yankees fan. So bookmark it today.


amNewYork, more than just a free newspaper


Now here's one that surprised us. You know the street hawkers at all the major subway and train
stations who practically assault you with that free newspaper amNewYork (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470613/goto:[www.amny.com])? Which, truth be told, is a fun easy subway read even standing up.
And we have to confess we have never mastered the fine NYC art of folding a paper in just the right way to read in transit.
Well anyway, turns out that amNewYork (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470613/goto:[www.amny.com]) has a terrific web site which
includes a terrific guide to going out in New York City (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470611/goto:[www.amny.com])
with everything from sights to see, museums, restaurants and more. You'll find great videos that will give you a terrific tour of
Central Park and off the beaten path attractions like the Museum of Tibetan Art in Staten Island. So if you're looking for
something a little different to do, or let's say have all your relatives descending on you, check it out (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470611/goto:[www.amny.com]).


A New York travel guide New Yorkers love


NewYorkology (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470610/goto:[www.newyorkology.com]) has made several best
travel blog lists, including Forbes and the Washington Post. You'll find all the latest on what's new at the museums, like
"Gardens of Eternal Spring: Two Mughal Carpets in The Frick
Collection" which just opened at the Frick Collection. And you'd know that on Thursday, Philip Glass and the Kronos Quartet
will play their new score to accompany the 1931 version of the film "Dracula (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470608/goto:[www.celebratebrooklyn.org]; at the Prospect Park Bandshell in Brookyln, for free. And you'd know the 10 best things to do in New
York this summer.


What subway should I take?


New Yorker's and tourists alike, are always asking what subway or bus will get me there?
Well now there's HopStop (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470607/goto:[www.hopstop.com]) to the
rescue. This amazing web site is a city transit guide that provides door-to-door subway and bus directions (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470606/goto:[www.hopstop.com]) and maps (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470605/goto:[www.hopstop.com]) for New York City and other cities
as well. You can even send directions by e-mail or text message to a cell phone directly from the website. Or get directions
or the locations of nearby subway and bus stops remotely on your cell phone or PDA with the HopStop Mobile service (http://e2ma.net/go/329244551/254469/7470604/goto:[www.hopstop.com]).


What's the Cross Street?


We mentioned this one a while back, but it's worth a mentioning again. Just go to [www.ny.com] if you have a Manhattan address and need the cross

street. Enter the address and voila!

Well that's this week's love poem to New York City, Three Tomatoes style.
