Yesterday, the Today Show crew was lunching at the Plaza. Al Roker, Meredith Viera, Kathy Lee Gifford and Matt Lauer were joined by Miss USA Crystle Stewart to support the American Cancer Society's Mother Of The Year. This year, Today's very own Ann Curry was honored as well as Dr. Alexandra Herdt(pictured to the left) who is a surgeon specializing in breast cancer. It was a lovely way for guests to spend a lunch -filled with laughter and optimism.
