Business After 5 - Harry's Bar and American Grill
(1/10/2007, 5:30 PM)
The Golden Triangle Chamber of Commerce starts the new year off with their first BAF (Business after Five) at the elegant La Jolla eatery Harry's Bar and American Grill.
Harry's Bar and American Grill brings authentic Italian cuisine and genuine European charm to the La Jolla area. Harry's Bar is modeled after the landmark eatery of the same name in Florence, Italy. Leather booths, mahogany woodwork, snowy linens, and a handsome fireplace make the restaurant a relaxing oasis in the middle of a modern high-rise office complex.
Join us Wednesday to sample the excellent food, charming ambience and superior service that makes Harry's Bar the perfect location for The Golden Traingle's first BAF of the year!
(And don't forget, you may win a raffle prize or two!)

The two main reasons people join their Chamber of Commerce is the joy of giving back to the community they call home, and to increase their business exposure. The best way to accomplish both of those goals is to go the extra mile and become involved in the Board of Directors. We look forward to working with you in the year to come.
Sincerely,
The Board of Directors
Golden Triangle Chamber of Commerce
