Thread: Any NYC Meetups?

I live about an hour fifteen from the city, I'd be down too as I'm still new to this as well

it's exciting to see some interest. hopefully we can get the ball rolling and establish some sort of plan.

I nominate McSorely's pub.

Count me in. I live in Westchester but work in NYC.

I second that motion! (Maybe we can shave one of those cats while we're there... )

I'm all for meets at pubs, but keep in mind it may not be a great atmosphere for show & tell or demo's... Unless we can book a room or something.

I'm going to be in the area sometime in Feb to visit family, but not really sure on the details. After that, I'll be down again at the end of April for a family event. Heck, I'd prolly drive down if I'm free, it's less than one tank each way.

if we can get a room or some space to ourselves i'm all for it!

I haven't been to McSorely's too much lately, I don't know if they do private rooms or not. I'll put a call in perhaps later tonight. Any other suggestions? I might have a large apartment we can use depending on the time,

I doubt McSorely's has a private room. It's not really that kind of place as I remember...

I'm sure there are plenty of places in the city that have a room that would work, the only question is: What does it cost? Ideally we can get a private spot without a room fee if we can guarantee a minimum bar tab. The responses have been pretty sparse so far. Any ideas for how we can get an accurate count on who would show and what dates work best? I don't even know if these posts are showing up on the homepage...

EDIT: It does show up....

In WNY, the only thing that really get the ball rolling is when someone (usually Joed or Carriem, since they host) sets a date. People will then say if they can make it or not. It's too bad when not everyone can, but you can't please everyone.
