I was thinking we have lunch at Ted's Montana Grill on 51st and 6th. It has a big menu, lots of tables and is relatively cheap for Midtown Manhattan standards. If it ends up being just you, me and Ellen, we'll still have a nice time, but anybody is welcome (and encouraged) to attend!

We are leaving for a week at WDW next week, and this weekend is filled with to do's.

[Jared]

Well, the weather forecast is calling for some snow around the area, so we're going to postpone this meet. Weather permitting, the new plan is to do it Jan. 28. Please post if you can come!

I will be in Disney on the 28th!

Jared I am sorry but can not make the 28th and and am tied up the following few Saturdays. Will be in Boston the weekend of the 28th, then in DC and then in NYC but will not be able to Meet during that time. The earliest possible Saturday I can make is 2/25 and am not even sure about that. If there are a few people who are in agreement about certain dates then just go with it. I'll enjoy reading about the meet even if I can't attend this one.

Lucky you! Sad us!

Anyone else? Bueller? Bueller?

I just saw this thread today (3/3) -- been away from ICOT far too long. That silly thing called 'work' is taking up too much of my time and energy.

Anyway, if a meet gets going sometime this spring, let me know. I'm always up for an excuse to go to NYC.

I know several people wanted to have a meet this winter at the NYC Earl of Sandwich in midtown, which we couldn't do because of their lack of seating. Yesterday I went to the new Earl's Court, which is in downtown Manhattan, very close to the World Trade Center site. I'd like to suggest having our meet there.

The Earl's Court is actually a small food court which is run by the Earl of Sandwich. Besides the Earl, there is also a Soupman, Sushi Express, a fancy cupcake booth, a coffee bar, a shake bar, and cocktail place called Libations (which seemed to be closed while we were there). There is a ton of seating in a very nicely decorated area, which contains picnic-type tables and a lot of trees! You can see pictures on their website - just google Earl's Court NYC.

The place was practically empty when I was there, as it caters mostly to Wall Street crowds during the week. I spoke briefly to the manager, who said he would be glad to have our group there.

Anyway, this is just a suggestion, in case anyone would be interested in still having this meet.

I think this sounds like a fantastic option that we really should consider. I'd love to get a group there for a Saturday in April sometime.

[Jared]

How does April 21 sound to everyone? I discussed this date last night with a couple people, and it seems to be the winner right now.

[MinnieMommie]

Hey Jared - April 21st works well for me. Count me in. I'll be bring at least 2 others. I'm good with where ever the group decides to eat.

[TikiGoddess]

We may be able to come! It would be me and the girls (ages 7 and 9). Are we thinking lunch time?

Any ideas on what I could do with the girls downtown for the afternoon?

I know there is some support to visit the new 9/11 memorial. I don't know how everybody feels about that, but a few people have told me they want to see it. I personally haven't been there, but I walk by it at least once a week, and I hear it is very well done.

There are museums in the area, and you can also get the boats to Ellis Island from down there. It's also close to the South Street Seaport and the famous J&R Music and Computer World store.

I spoke too soon. We have a girl scout event that same day. Sorry we'll have to miss this one. Maybe this summer sometime?
