James,
Sorry, that's the worst weekend (both saturday and sunday) of the month because of youth and sorority events. I wish we were doing this another month (like March/April). I know everybody is going to have a good time! I just wish I could be there!

I hope we can plan to do this again later on in the year!

I do believe I've created a monster with this thread!

I think right now the 9th or the 23rd of Feb will work the best for me...but if not, we should definitely schedule another greekchattin' convention soon - kudos on that idea to RedAngel!

Serenity, I was thinkin' you were still in the area and might make it... but I'll still be here in July!

As far as coming into NYC, I've heard the best way to do it from my neck of the woods is to travel into Hoboken and go into the city from there.

Ooooh, this is so neato! Finally get to put faces to some names....

*hugs*

Alright ya'll:

Two things we need to decide:

Hoboken (or other place outside NYC with train station) or NYC.

Place in either location: It should be easy to find from the train station . . if that is how a lot of people are coming.

Suggestions?

OK - how the hell I missed this thread is completely beyond me . . .

The Boston Coalition would like to throw total support at jah - but NJ is a long freaking ways away. We're talking 4 hrs to NYC as it is . . . another few to hoboken, and it's a whole weekend. PLUS - the 9th is Mardi Gras . . . so i might be in NO either way.

So . . .

I say, come up to Boston - OK, well I realize that's not feasible, but god damn it would be fun if you all did . . .

Anyway - in leiu of that, I'm in, and so's KSigKid, if we can get there reasonably . . . so yall decide, and we'll venture there. Then, we'll party like rockstars - this is not open for debate.

my vote still stands for NYC.

it's the center or all the other places. especially if boston people come! everyone should be able to find a bus or train that ends in the city.

here's my suggestion:
we could meet up for an early dinner (it gets crowded and with a big group we'd have a long wait if we go too late) and then head to a bar and just chill for a while.

i've got plenty of ideas and i'm sure i can get more from friends. i think we could get to know each other pretty well doing dinner and drinkin!

Alright that sounds good from my viewpoint . . . I just hate being carless. . . its like being in the wild west without your horse to get away on. Although hrmm if some of us are statying the night we have to have a place to stash overnight bags . . . . other than the trunks of our cars.

Hi everyone! I'm not able to make the NYC GreekChatters meeting but I have a suggestion for your dinner.

There's an awesome Greek restaurant (Greek like Greece, not like GC!) on 114th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenues called "Symposium". Great atmosphere, incredible food, cheap prices. And, there are some fun bars nearby where you could go after you eat.

I make it a point to eat there whenever I visit NYC. This isn't a "trendy" place or anything (I haven't lived there in 10 years so a couple of generations of trendy restaurants have come and gone in that amount of time!), but it's popular and if you enjoy Greek food you can't go wrong!

Talk among yourselves...

I'm up for the nyc get together. count me in. james was saying something about the 23rd? I definitely would need a place to crash if possible.

[shadokat]

Wow!! Now Boston might be in the house too VERY cool! Just please let's decide soon, as I don't know if I want to be carless yet or not. Like James, I would rather have my car, if for nothing else but to sleep in (KIDDING!)

So let's decide where folks Hoboken is really cute y'all!!!

[equeen]

...depending on what time we want to meet up!

[James]

Hoboken would be easier here also . . . can the City Dwellers get to Hoboken?

[Peaches-n-Cream]

My vote is for New York City!

[James]

Cream, your PM ability is off, how unsociable, so let me repeat the message here.
Where would be a good place to meet in NYC or Hoboken?


Hoboken may be easier to travel to for those of us that have farther to travel . .

[Peaches-n-Cream]

How do I turn on the PM ability?
How does a bar sound? There are dozens of bars on the East Side or even downtown.
