Friday, June 8, 2007

6:00 Friday pre-decadence culture. Meet at MoMA for Target Fridays. It's Free!

    Meet at 6 pm at MoMA (11 West 53rd between 5-6th Avenues) outside the 53rd Street entrance.  If the weather is inclement, I'll be just inside the lobby.  Don't see me?  Call me on my cellphone.

8:30 Dinner on your own, but a bunch of folks will probably go to Tour for the Chelsea experience. It's on the main drag in Chelsea; the food is mediocre but the eye candy is very good. If you'd like to join us, please let me know; we'll probably need a reservation or face a wait.

9:30 Friday night drinks - Barracuda.  This is a friendly Chelsea bar with low attitude and a lounge feel.  It's a good place to meet other Flyertalkers.  We'll probably be in the back lounge.

11:30 Advanced bar-hopping in the East Village hosted by rchavez.  We'll leave from Barracuda so meet us there or call Ryan on his cellphone.

Saturday, June 9, 2007

Saturday at leisure, but there will be informal groups, picnicking, shopping and going to museums.  JCinNYC has gotten a group discount at Nickel Spa for men, so if you'd like to get in on that, PM him on Flyertalk.com asap.

6:30 p.m.  Cocktail hour at Barrage.  One of the nicer Hell's Kitchen bars is directly across the street from Pam, so join us there first for a drink and a chance to talk to your fellow Flyertalkers.

7:30 p.m.  Saturday dinner at Pam Real Thai Encore - Good neighborhood Thai in Hells Kitchen, incredibly reasonably priced. This will be family style and prepaid. It's all of $20 - drinks are not included, pay for your own at the bar.

Approximate run time:  1 hour.

Après Dinner or Theater: Saturday post-dinner Hells Kitchen bar survey, once again hosted by rchavez, because your host has Jewish liver and falls asleep after half a glass of wine.  Ryan will start with Therapy after dinner, and then move on to Posh and/or Vlada.  If you're going to the Wau Wau Sisters, we'll meet up with them probably around 11:30 at Therapy.

Sunday, June 10, 2007

12:00 Sunday Brunch in Chinatown. We're going to Ping's Seafood. Please let me know if you'd like to join us, preferably by June 4.  We will reserve a few large tables, each table will split their bill.  Expect it to be between $15-$20.

Directions to Ping's Seafood.

3:00 Optional - but since ballet is what I do (presently I review ballet and dance performances in NYC, nationally and internationally - the travel is what brought me to Flyertalk), I'd be happy to bring a group to New York City Ballet at 3pm if there's interest.  Cheap seats are all of $15. Note:  I've purchased tickets as of June 2 but you can still buy your own ticket for the same price.

Approximate run time: 2.5 hours.

6:00 Drinks send-off. Let's go to the Lobby Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, admire the view and drink $17 martinis as a souvenir of New York.
