At the beginning of the month I did a blog announcing the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce Work After Hours event that was hosted by the Galleria Design Center in Middletown last night. I encouraged everyone that could attend to do so, and promised that they would not be disappointed. Well the Chamber and the Galleria did not make a liar out of me, the evening was as promised.
The turnout was one of the best that I have seen, and there was no lack of shrimp, wine, beer, soft drinks, and several varieties of d'oeuvres. The Galleria is large and spacious, but yet perfect for this type of event, and I was able to both make new contacts as well as renew some old ones.
Last night the Galleria also introduced a new product that they will be manufacturing themselves. Within the next couple of months the Galleria will be producing cement/concrete counter tops that will look like granite counter 
tops, which is presently a huge product line for them. They are very excited about this new product and hope that it will provide a very viable and cost affective alternative the more expensive granite and marble counter tops.
I did get to tour once again their warehouse where they keep a remarkable selection of granite counter top slabs that import from many parts of the world. I even saw a granite top that had been injected with different colors and made to look almost like a "Tie-Dye Shirt".
Of course their selection of appliances, bathroom and Kitchen fixtures, cabinets, tile flooring, decks, windows, doors, and window treatments are the largest that I have ever seen. I would love to take my wife their, but I am afraid that if I did I would walk away a very, very poor man.
The Galleria is very easy to get to. It is located right off of Country Club exit on RT 91 in Middletown. Stop in if you are going down RT91, and prepare to be dazzled by what you will see.
