"While the political discussions this week may give you heartburn, the next two hours should provide some comfort food," said David Alpher, publisher of City and State PA, which hosted the event along with City and State NY. Alpher said about 220 people were expected to attend, mostly delegates, media, and members of Boyle and Maloney's staffs. The event, held at the Union League of Philadelphia, was sponsored by Airbnb.
