Hello WOTM Nation,

Just a quick update to let you know that we’ve edited our World Cup 2014 to add some new venues–so now there’s even more places for you to watch the games!!

Also an FYI…we will be unveiling a new look to the site soon. We’re doing this to make it a little more user-friendly for you guys as well as encourage those we promote on WOTM to finally start to advertise with us. We’ve been LIVE for 3 1/2 years now and we’d really like to get the advertising going. We think it’s more than time that the advertising ball gets rolling!

While we have you here, we’d like to say a big thank you to all of you who follow us. Whether it’s here on the site, on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or all of the above, we wouldn’t be here without YOU! We thank you for sharing us with your friends and for helping us grow so much over the years.

If you like what we do here, could you do us a favor? Keep sharing us with those you know. Use us on your phones when you’re out. Let the establishments know when you go out, “hey, I saw these specials on What’s on the Menu?” Or let them know in general that you use our site. It would really help us out as we try to grow even more and get more info on Stamford out to you.

And remember, be sure to sign up on our site with your email so that when we update, when we post happenings, etc, it will be delivered right to your inbox and you won’t miss a thing!
