NYC & Area - B'day Get Together Update!

“Sorry for any confusion. I looked at a few places last night and have made a final decision on a location.

This one had a better atmosphere, menu, price range, drink list, and large group seating.

Please let me know how many are coming.

So far:

Twinks (that''s me)
Corp
Maple and Tree
Geo (any guest?)
three other friends of mine, plus maybe two more

I need to call and make a reservation...


Info on restaurant:

Park Avalon Link

Please note that the menu has more on it than what is listed on-line.

Anyone need direction? Should I post on trip page?

Cheers!”

“sheit.

okay - no reservations unless we want 6pm or 10pm. :(

damnit....


will work on this...

keep posted”

“See other thread”

“umm i thought we were going to maxies?”

“See other thread!”

“Take a drink, and then...


...see other thread!”

“Is this some kind of way to keep Geobeet occupied all day? See other thread, see other thread?

Well I'm onto you peeps!”

“well im confused, eat here, eat there

are we going to eat anywhere that will not cost us an arm and a leg?
i was happy with the steak place.”

“Potty Mouth - it's a celebration - no kveetching! LOL

Okay - if I hold Angelo and Maxies I can only get a table for 8 people for 7pm.

So I don't think this will work....

Peeps - throw some restaurant suggestions out to me..”

“See the other thread, Twinks!”

“they will only allow you to have 8 people at a table?”

“LIPWH ???”

“Maxies,

9:30 table for 15 people.

want to reserve it twinks?
I can call back or you can call and speek to sonja.”

“Hey Twinks, found this. Take a look!

Soho


good neighborhood, reasonable prices...”

“Also found this:


Keen's Steakhouse
72 W 36th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves, (212-947-3636). B, D, F, V, N, Q, R, W to 34th St-Herald Sq. Mon-Fri 11:45am-3pm, 5:30-10:30pm; Sat 5-10:30pm; Sun 4-8pm Average main course: $32 Credit cards AmEx, DC, Disc MC, V.
In the cosmos of New York City steakhouses, restaurant personalities loom as large as T-bones. There's the midtown hustle of Smith & Wollensky, the offhand pride of porterhouse king Peter Luger in Brooklyn, and at Keens, the allure of a New York that is no more. With its beveled glass doors, working fireplace and a forest's worth of dark wood, this 140-year-old chophouse suggests an era when guys like Diamond Jim Brady would pile their tables with bushels of oysters, troughs of ale and heaping cuts of seared beef. Today, the place is more subdued, but it still reminds you of the men's club it once was. The menu still lists dishes like a three-inch-thick mutton chop (imagine a saddle of lamb, but with more punch) and desserts such as trifle. The sirloin and porterhouse for two hold their own against any steak in Manhattan. Lunch is a bargain: In the tavern you can savor a crisp disk of prime-rib hash, topped with a fried egg, for only $10.”

“That may wind up being a bit pricey though!”

“The Verdict is in.

Angelo and Maxie's
9:30pm on Saturday
Reservation for 12

Any cancellations or additional people - must let me know so I can update the restaurant. Had to put down credit card info so please let me know if you're going to back out.

Finally. Whew.....


Now we can have fun!!”

“I think she is looking for something a little bit more fancy.

maybe we should meet her and her friends after they had dinner. this is getting to hard.”

“oh ok, go ahead and post before me. gee have a birthday before me and see what happens.

the nerve!!”

“LIPWH ?”

“hmm so you are buying us ALL dinner?



(you will not see me backing out of the restuarnt slowly........)”

“lost in password hell”

“That's fine. Are we meeting before that or waiting until 9:30?”

“I swear - this is the last change...

I thought about Angelo & Maxie's and was not thrilled with the atmosphere and prices so I did even more research and Treebeard has hopefully led us down the right path....

please go to the trip page for all details...”

“Didn't come up on trips page, Twinks!”

“well give me a chance to post! LOL

new and final location - 9pm - Saturday - Soho Steak”

“Sorry!!!!!


:)

I see it now!”

“can I come in my Birthday Suit?”

“Is it a three piece suit?”

“Yes. It consists of three peas.”

“Strategically placed, of course.”

“oh hmm now thats kinda in your face.....”

“Could you make it a little larger for those of us that don't see real well?”

“can you go suck an egg for us that want to be amused?”

“If the trees had a fight in the forest and nobody was there, would they make a sound?”

“Only when the Maples hit the ground”

“if one tree beats the crap out of another tree, can you hear him cry in the forest?”

“Somewhere, there's a "penguin envy" joke in this...”

“Penguin in my pants?

Doesn't sound right. I like the line in Spinal Tap - 'we've got armadillos in our trousers'”

“So Mapes, been cruising androgeny.com?”
