It is not yet certain (I should know definitely by Tuesday night), but there is a good chance I will be in NYC (most likely Manhattan) for a few days in early March.
Sunday, March 5 is probably free. Anybody wanna do lunch?

I would, but I have to work 1st shift that day and the next. I plan on taking some vacation time in June so I have to be at work every day that I have to be until then.

If I recall correctly, four Orthodox Jews toured the Metropolitan Museum's Egypt Exhibit, saying things like "My people built those pyramids, when we were slaves in Egypt".

IIRC, only one of us said that. I leave which one as an exercise for the reader. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

Aww, wish I could... I miss our little kosher excursions, rivka!! We'll have to do lunch some other time. Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

Ah yes, I knew there was a good bit about kosher coffee in "The Promise." Reuven is talking to his best friend, Danny, about some fairly serious problems in his life, and the following conversation ensues:
There was a tense silence. "I'll survive," I said. He was quiet. "If I can have another cup of coffee." He smiled then and got slowly to his feet. "One derives great moral strangth from a cup of coffee," I said. "Kosher coffee," Danny said. "Yes, of course. Kosher coffee. Of course."
It's not exactly earth shattering, I admit, but I do like it.

I just told my supervisor that I will be taking the day off on Sunday March 5th. I'll take the train into Penn Station, and can meet up with you wherever you like. How about at the lobby of your hotel?

Hmm. I might be up for this. Lemme think it over. (I missed this thread until now, and I'd need to work out the logistics of the round trip from Boston.)

Alas, at this point, figuring out whether I can cover the $15 each way on Fung Wah Bus is an important factor in my considerations.

Yeah, we also have to figure out logistics if we're going to go ("we" being myself and Nathan).

Well, that's certainly a better idea than what we did last time. . .

Four of us wandering around the huge New York Penn Station, calling each other on our cell phones.
"Where are you now?" "In front of the Dunkin Donuts." "Which Dunkin Donuts?" "The one on the concourse." "Which concourse?"

You forgot the part where my phone kept dropping calls. Or missing them entirely, so the first I'd know about a call was when a voicemail came in.

Dunno. Adam might know if there are any restaurants in the area we're talking about that serve stereotypical "kosher-style" (yet actually kosher ) food. But I'd rather take the opportunity to have kosher food of types that I cannot get here -- like Indian. I really enjoyed the place we went to last time.
What I do know is I'd love to meet you in person, Glenn. If you can manage it, please do join us!

They make the best gefilte fish curry. And their matzah ball vindaloo is to die for!

Hi Glenn. It'd be swell to meet you! And you will have the unforgettable experience of meeting ME! I'm fascinating. Also adorable. And entertaining. Posts: 10397 | Registered: Jun 2005

I vote for going to Abigael's for the coffee theater. It is a lifelong dream of mine to experience that someday.

It is not my lifelong dream to eat lunch at Abigael's. Just to experience the "Coffee Theater".
Which I bet is on the pricey side, too.
Well, my birthday is in July. Maybe I can get my husband to take me then, and fulfill my lifelong dream.

Awfully close to literally, too. That was awesome, CT!
Indian sounds great -- we really cannot get that here. And is there a Thai place? I miss kosher Thai.

Oh lord, I love Thai. I've only had Indian food once, except for curry. Grew up on homemade curry my mom made, so it's probably not authentic.

OK, I've got the date free. But as of yet I don't see where we're meeting. This is important, because I'm a Luddite, and I don't have a cell phone.
(Considers starting another thread admitting that I finally got a TV)
