Hey gang--
I'm doing a NY driveby, staying in Manhattan (mid-town, East side) for a "thing" on Monday 12/8. I'm arriving Sunday late afternoon and taking off Tues morn. Anyone DMFers interested in meeting up either Sun eve or Mon eve for some [drink]? I don't think I've officially met any of the NY crew.
Love to, preferences? Where are you staying? Will you have transportation?

Where are you staying? Will you have transportation?
I haven't booked a hotel yet, but I figured I'd stay near my thing --> 52d & 3rd Ave. I won't have transportation, but I've heard NY has cabs and I'm close to Grand Central. FWIW, in my book, the desirability of a bar is inversely to the proportion of drinks served that require shaking or mixing. Nuttin' high-falutin'.
It would take more than clothing to make me purty. I'm spoken for anyway.
I'll go anywhere. Food or just drink?
53rd and 3rd? Damn! Right down the street. (work at 53rd and 5th.)
If you don't mind having a drink with a guy in a suit - I'm down! [drink]
You want a shot-n-beer joint? Something Frat-tastic? Or loaded with talent? BBQ?
Tom
I should be around.
Food, drink, whatevah. Not frat-tastic, or places with talent (those places tend to fall into my prohibition about places with a lot of mixed drinks, many of which are silly colors). Pubs or seedy bars work. It doesn't have to be around where I'm stayin'. That's just convenient.
Tell me where & when and I will drink. [beer] [drink]
Choice A - Johnny Utah's - 51st between 5th and 6th. Decent BBQ place, great mellow vibe, only mechanical bull in NYC.

Choice B - Papillon - 54th between 5th and Madison. 2 story bar / bistro. No bullshit - may be a little crowded.

Choice C - Clancy's - 2nd Avenue just below 52nd. Irish bar - good bar food [thumbsup]

I can be there after 6 - big guy in a suit. No more goatee! ;D
Like I said, I will go anywhere, but prefer B or C. Sunday or Monday? Time?

Monday good for you, Howie? Sunday is out for me.
Let's do Clancy's - 6:30 / 7pm?

Works for me, further from Rockefeller Center too [thumbsup]
If I get out work on time on Monday, I may be able to join you guys.
If you guys like wings and drinks, there's
- O'Flanagans on First & 65th
- Blue Moon on Second & 60th corner of Tramway / Queensboro bridge
That would work for me too.
So, we are meeting where? When? I am so confused...
I *think* it's Monday. Sometime. Somewhere. A pub sounds good for drinks/food/drinks/drinks/drinks. I might have to start boozin' before y'all if I get out of my tie early and into some jeans. [drink]
I just checked the weather. WTF? It was 50 there earlier in the week and now it's gonna be a high of 32 on Monday?!? make the beast with two backs that. My poor, delicate California man bits are gonna get all frostbited and such.
OK folks, what are we doin?
I vote Clancy's - 52nd and 2nd [thumbsup]
6:30/7pm
That last block between 2nd and 1st will be COLD tomorrow!

Also, Blue Moon is a few blocks from there in case we need an alternative to Clancy's [beer]
I suppose we'll wait on the word from Spidey ?
I just spoke to Spidey, 6:30ish at Clancy's. 52nd and second ave. Tommys67 wins ;D
Beer. Woohoo! See y'all tomorrow.
see you guys there ! [thumbsup]
Well, it was a small group, but we had a great time. Good food, good drinks, scintillating conversation and lots of laughs!
Howie, FLSTFI and I met the infamous Spidey at Clancy's last night. Some awesome Blackjack burgers and wings were eaten, lots of beer and bourbon were imbibed, and it was about midnight when we said our goodnights.
No, there are no pictures of the event, but rest assured, Spidey is a real guy, he's a lot of fun, and he really does NOT hate the boobies. Someone had to be the enforcer.
Good Times, Good Times! [thumbsup] [drink]
Oh man, keep the myth going
SPIDEY HATES BOOBIES!!
Fantastic night, guys [beer]
Quite an intellectual evening of conversations and drinks [beer]
It was a pleasure to meet Spidey and great hanging again with Howie and Tommy [thumbsup]
mmmm .... no boobies ??!
Thanks for hosting, guys. It was a good, good time. Excellent to finally put some names to some faces. Now it's your turn to come west, so we can toss bourbon and beer down yer gullets. [drink] [thumbsup]
Spidey,
Sorry to have missed you when you were in town. I've been under a rock.
