This is so cool! I am definitely going to try and make it for this and report back
Awesome that Jane Austen’s name lives on, even in NYC

Oh, please do report back if you go! If I lived in New York or could get away (I have training that day), I’d be there like a shot, fangirling all over the place. I only read the book four times. *rolls eyes*

As a born and bred Manhattanite, I resent that “even in NYC” comment!
And I have an “ooops” here. I just sent the Editrix a listing for this very event. I will not be going because I can rarely get out at lunchtime. Even in NYC, we work for a living.

Having first been introduced to Austen in the UK, I guess I was just pleasantly surprised.
