Leah and Patrick hit a rough patch last year when he admitted that he was unfaithful one night. She forgave him and they’ve been fine ever since. But, he recently told her that the person that he cheated with is her best friend. He has begged her not to say anything to her and to please let it go. It was all a mistake. Leah wants to confront her friend, she feels so betrayed. He doesn’t want to ruin the friend’s life, and if it gets out, it will. What would you do?

on the 5 flavors. They have The Classic, The Mezcal with a tajin rim, next is Rock Bottom which
is blackberry puree, agave, lime, triple sec and juarez gold. The next two are The Bloody Hell,
which is tequila, triple sec , lime, agave and blood orange puree and lastly choose your own,
from strawberry, guava, apricot, blueberry, coconut or raspberry.

specials, a live mariachi band, and more. Camacho Garage in New Haven is also having food
and drink specials with a live mariachi band. They have events that day from 3:00 to 7pm.
Starting off with the face painting, tattoos and a live donkey. Then the mariachi band is playing
from 3-5 and then the patron margarita bike will finish off the night. The patron bike is awesome,
I saw it this winter at Mohegan Sun, people sit on the bike and pedal in place and it blends a 20
oz margarita right by the handlebars.

New Haven Nights, which is a founder of New Haven Bar Crawl Series, they set up events and
top of the line bar crawls, is hosting one for Cinco De Mayo on Saturday, this is the 3rd annual,

The DJ will start both Saturday and Sunday at 3pm, they will be offering drink specials all day,
and open their doors at 11am. They will be doing giveaways and Saturday Night they have a DJ
competition and with the lights, the music, the stage, this sounds like a great time.

Puerto Vallarta in Orange is going big for Cinco De Mayo. They are having dj’s all day, a ton of
drink specials and food specials as well. The food here is very good, I remember shooting at
this location a couple years back. Great service, this will be a must-do on Cinco De Mayo.
Don Carmelo’s in Norwalk is throwing a big big bash for Cinco. There will be shot girls all day,
the back patio will be open and the DJ’s will be there playing some awesome music. They will
have gifts to take home, drinks specials, food specials as well. This event runs from 3pm to
8pm.

Ola Latin Kitchen in Bridgeport has created a Cinco De Mayo menu for the holiday. Firstly, all
of their house margaritas will be $8 all night long. For tapas, they are having chicken and potato
tortillas with chipotle crema, cabbage and salsa verde. They’ve added a Mediterranean sea
bass over pinto beans, with smoked chorizo, baby spinach in a cherry tomato ragu with crispy
tortilla and pico. Lastly, for dessert, they have churros with chocolate.

Jeff and Pia went out to dinner and when it was time to pay the check, the waiter brought the wrong one.

He didn’t tell his wife until later on that evening, and now she’s so embarrassed that she wants him to call the restaurant, explain there was a mix up, and offer to pay the right check. He says it was their mistake, so it’s their problem. What would you do?
