Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>This is what we've established so far: the date is Dec 9, I'm keeping a list of who is coming and you can email me at bsloate@att.net or just post on this thread, and Jeff Lichtman will get back to us re: the two restaurants he has contacted. I think we have too many chefs recommending too many places and it is making things more complicated. If Jeff is unsuccessful, then we can go to plan #2.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Jim- While I hoped you could join us we have been trying for two days just to pick a restaurant. The only thing we have agreed on is a date. If we change that, we will never work this out. Surely there is some way you can break away for a few hours on a Saturday- a quick drink and a meal won't take long. Well, the board is free to vote on anything, but do we even have a place to go? Jeff was going to get back to us but hasn't yet. Maybe by tomorrow we'll consider going to plan B. Michael, you may have to call your friend.

The Thread for Very Hungry New Yorkers
Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>That's pretty flexible. I just got off the phone with Jeff Lichtman and he will be calling a couple of places today to see if we can get a good arrangement for Dec 9. If he does, we are just going to go with that date. If not, we'll put it back up for discussion. I know that will knock a few people out, and I apologize for that, but if we switch it to the 6th or 7th, that will knock a couple of different people out. It will be impossible to find a day that everyone can make. I don't know how else to do this. That said, everyone is still free to suggest something. I don't want this to be about my schedule, it's for the board. I just think at this point it's better to pick a date rather than to continue to change it each time a new poster comes on.

I volunteered originally because I thought I would be helping out but I bit off more than I could chew. Jeff Lichtman is trying to get us a reservation today for Dec 9. Yesterday you requested a vote but maybe two or three people responded. So we can't even get the group to express their opinions.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Just got off the phone with Morton's: they are willing to cancel one of their seatings on Dec 9 in order to give us a room with a table that seats 16 for the night. Minimum charge (which we'll top with steaks, drinks,etc) is $1750 for the 16 people at the table. I'll need to lock this up quickly so let's have our vote on the vote. On the vote. On the vote, etc.

The Thread for Very Hungry New Yorkers
Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Hey Jeff,<br />We appreciate your valient efforts on securing a place to dine. I just spoke to Barry on the phone. We think the Morton's scenario might be a little more than some folks want to spend on a dinner and drinks. Also, if only 12 show up then it would be about $145 ea....that's a little pricey. I think we should look at Michael's friends establishment to see if it can fit the bill. Assuming, and it's not official yet, that it's on the 9th then I will be attending. (Jim- I hope you can break away for a few hours to dine with us). There is no way I could take more than a day off of work...but if the majority want a weekday, as I said before, I will politely bow out...no big deal. Finding a venue where we can all talk and get to know one another is far more important than the meal itself. best regards

Posted By: <b>Corey R. Shanus</b><p>Leon,<br /><br />Let's first have a few new polls done: (1) are baseball get-to-gethers more fun on weekdays or weekends, (2) should baseball get-to-gethers take place at expensive restaurants or moderately-priced restaurants, (3) should the night the dinner takes place (weekend or weekday) have a bearing on whether the restaurant is expensive or moderately-priced, (4) should whether the restaurant is expensive or moderately priced impact whether it is scheduled for a weekend or weekday night, (5) should we take a weighted average of the cholesterol level of all potential attendees (the older the person, the greater weight to be given to his/her cholesterol) to determine whether it is too high to meet at a steak restaurant, (6) should the date be within a certain period after the closing of a major auction so as to give us more to talk about. <br /><br />Once we have tabulated the results of these polls, and it's probably best not to run them simultaneously but sequentially, we should then have threads discussing the results of each. Then, my vote is that we at that point vote when and where to have the dinner.

As far as Duke's being crowded on a Saturday night, everything is crowded on a Saturday night. I think that goes with the territory. But Michael says he has a friend there, so why doesn't he tell us what to expect. As long as the place isn't blasting hip-hop, let's anticipate a lively crowd.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Guys, I think the only way to avoid a real crush on a Saturday night in Manhattan during holiday season is to get a private room within a restaurant. If we go to a place that is packed wall to wall with TVs blaring, etc., we might as well eat at home - we'll be able to communicate with each other as effectively. At this point, I don't have a problem with when or where as long as we can have a peaceful meal and actually be able to talk - isn't that the point of this anyway?
