Some very specific NYC questions -
(Sure, I should have just PMed Rudey or Russ, but maybe someone else will have a clue here)
We're running a study in NYC in a couple weeks, pretty smallish but will require some intense downtime. I have some friends in the area, but they're all iBanking douchebag imports from BU - so for the 'locals' here are some questions that craigslist.org won't answer:
1 - Card rooms . . . specifically, I'll be almost on top of the 'old' room on 57th St (NYPS, if you're familiar), is that room still in the same location? If you know of any of the newer ones (rounders, 5 diamonds, all-in), will any let me in as a visiting 'non-member'? I have friends at the sat, but I don't really want to travel that far, PS would be ideal.
2 - How bad will traffic be on Sunday morning, realistically, when I have to cab from w57th to fifth ave? (No this is not a "I'll be up all night, what time do I have to leave the cardroom to make my appointment" question)
3 - The usual . . . suggestions for off-the-beaten-path bars and restaurants (although we probably won't have nearly enough time for a club) in the area.
