TONY teamed up with VH1 to celebrate the premiere of reality dating series Tough Love at Apothéke, named one of TONY's Best Bars of 2009. Hopeless (and hopeful) romantics packed into the intimate speakeasy on March 19, where inside the music was pumping and libations were flowing. TONY's Tough Love contest winners had a chance to meet with the show's hosts, dating experts Steven Ward and JoAnn Ward, along with cast members Abiola Abrams and Natasha Malinsky.
