Hi,
I hope all is well. With the World Cup around the corner, there is definitely soccer fever in the air. Gallagher's Steakhouse has joined the World Cup bandwagon and because of this, tomorrow (Thursday June 10) from 1 PM to 2:30 PM, Gallagher's Steak House will have a special World Cup event. They will be featuring several beers from around the world. In addition, NY Red Bulls Defenseman Carlos Mendes and Assistant Coach Richie Williams will be on hand to meet and greet fans as well as to provide their predictions on who will win the World Cup.
