Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Hey Folks,<br />I am coming into NY in 2 Fridays, on Feb 15. Barry and I are thinking about trying to get some folks together for a dinner. Even though Brooklyn would be better for Barry and 1-2 others we are going to do it in Manhatten. We are tentatively looking at Saturday the 16th to have the dinner. Since I won't get in until 3:15pm we feel it might be a stretch to get it done on Friday (but we can still discuss). I will buy Dinner, taken from the beloved Net54 banner monies, for all that attend but you have to run your own alcohol drink tabs. (I am dumb but not real dumb <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>) ....... If no one else joins us then we will do one closer to Brooklyn..... A nice quiet dinner with Barry would be nice but it would be great to meet a few other Net 54'ers too.....thanks again....

Posted By: <b>John</b><p>I think Leon is planning on coming to Washington…hence the reason he began to sell some of his 19th century cards. I think it’s obvious he’s financing his campaign and making a play for the White House, I can only imagine what bills he puts before Congress regarding our cards.<br /><br />Leon as for dinner that may work for me I have to be in NY all the following week it would be nice to meet you, a few days early won’t kill me, heck I’ll even buy your drinks!<br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Let me add that Leon will be staying with Judy and I that weekend in Brooklyn and we even talked about doing it in Cobble Hill/Brooklyn Heights on Friday night, which might be an easier day for some. However, Leon's plane is due in around 3:00-3:30, and he wouldn't get into Brooklyn until after 4:00 even if he were on time. If there's a weather delay, he could be really late (but I told him I'll save him a doggie-bag <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>). So Friday isn't impossible but we could run into logistical problems.<br /><br />Anyway, everyone is invited to either night, we're flexible, and let's just see what people think. But no 200 post thread here.

Posted By: <b>John</b><p>Hmmmm do I hear a Vice President Sloate here....my thoughts are correct Leon is making a run for the White House.<br /><br />Now we just need a campaign slogan!<br /><br />How about…“These pretzels are making me thirsty!”<br />

Posted By: <b>Corey R. Shanus</b><p>Do we want it Friday night or Saturday night, formal or casual, expensive or cheap, early or late, in Manhattan or Brooklyn? I vote we vote on each of these issues.....

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>It very well might be Luckey/Sloate.....but I doubt it would be for president. Maybe for a cab ride but not much else. If I do run maybe my slogan will be "Vote for Luckey.....with less overhead, and billions in banner ad money, he can balance the National Budget" Or I could run on "Outlaw Cockfights in all 50 states!!!"<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1202236664.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>I'm starting a trial on Feb 11 which is running 5 days a week; therefore, Saturday night in Manhattan would be best for me as time will be pretty tight once things start. Any chance for a steak venue in midtown Saturday night?

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Jeff- how about something a little less pricey? I actually thought Morton's was awful- Luger's makes them look like they don't even know how to cook steak, so I vote for something else (but I'll listen).

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Sorry Joe, you're right. Too many wise guys threw me off.<br /><br />And I chastised Leon about his spelling of "Manhattan." As a result, Friday night he will be sleeping across the street in the park. Saturday night we will let him back into the apartment.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Okay- at this juncture it appears that John, Jeff, and Joe D. would like to join us that night. I would like to suggest a moderately priced restaurant, not a place like Morton's. I think that was really bad news.<br /><br />We haven't heard from Michael yet, who knows every eatery and watering hole in Manhattan, so perhaps he can come up with something interesting (and of course join us). In the meantime everyone else is welcome to come too. It looks like it will be Saturday, Feb 16.

Yet another NY Dinner.....please come if you would like to..Feb 15th-16th...
 

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Guys, just give me a number of people who will attend and I'll find a place. My case is heating up and time is just really tight but I definitely will attend as I need to show Leon off to some other people as they have heard -- but no one has actually seen -- a Jew from Texas.<br /><br /><br />I agree re Morton's, Barry; I'll find a better, less pricey place.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Thanks Jeff, I appreciate your effort, and know how busy you are. Right now we don't have a head count, but I would guess around 6-8 people.

Yet another NY Dinner.....please come if you would like to..Feb 15th-16th...
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Michael- no crappy steakhouses that charge and arm and a leg and then serve you a mediocre piece of steak. I can get a better steak than Morton's from my local butcher. If it's expensive it's got to be something good. If only we could get into Luger's- but for a Saturday night you need to make a reservation about a year and a half in advance.

Posted By: <b>Kenneth A. Cohen</b><p>"... no one has actually seen -- a Jew from Texas."<br /><br />The parallel is striking - a purported run for political office. Is Leon following in the footsteps of his co-religionist and fellow Texen - Kinky Friedman?<br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>John- I went to Chuck E. Cheese once with my nephews and my head exploded. It has become my metaphor for the world coming to an end.<br /><br />Bruce- you are welcome to join us but Leon gets in late Friday and if his plane is delayed we would not be able to get to a dinner in time. And I don't think upper east side elegant is the way we will go. We are doing this dinner in Leon's honor and he is more a "scrapple from the apple" kind of guy. Elegant might not cut it with this rough and tumble group.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>As long as wherever I go I can wear a T-shirt and shorts then I am all for elegant....but seriously, a nice middle of the road steak would be great....I do agree with Bruce on less "touristy".....As the organizer of several large dinners I think the main thing is someplace that is QUIET so we can chat and hear each other. It's more about the company we keep that evening than the food we eat. (did I say that?)......Yelling into someone's ear and having them barely hear you is not a good thing when trying to have a friendly conversation.....best regards

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Leon- we've already had about half a dozen Net54 dinners and unfortunately none of them have been at a quiet venue. It would be nice to be able to converse with somebody at the other end of the table but that has been impossible. Let's see if we can come up with something a little different this time.

I think there's something he wants from me so that is where he will be so we can chat about it....A private room would be great and I have to believe for 10 or so people that a restaurant would do that.....The less noisy the better..Lets see if we can focus on the best quiet venue we can find....

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Michael- did you make a reservation for 7:00? The reason I am requesting earlier is Leon and I plan to head into the city early in the day to do some sightseeing (hope we don't have bad weather) so we will run down a little towards the end of the day. An early dinner would be preferable, and I think Leon feels that way too. However, if 7:00 is the only time we can get in then we accept.

Restaurants are either booked up or are getting booked up quickly.<br />So - someone should call today and see if we can get a table.... and maybe throw in that we would like a quiet area (if they are able to accommodate)<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>I went on a Saturday night with 8 people. <br /><br />They gave us a nice round table and I was able to converse with anyone at the table without feeling as though I needed to shout.<br /><br />I would say that if a reservation is made.... we just ask (no matter what restaurant it is) for a quiet table. It is probably a popular request -and may not make a difference - but it is worth mentioning.<br /><br /><br />If you are not familiar with the restaurant concept.....<br />they give everyone little discs (like coasters, or large colgan chips) - one side is red and the other side is green.<br />Servers come around with fresh / hot / pretty tasty food and they look for green coasters....<br />they keep coming. you leave that thing on green and it gets pretty crazy after a while.<br /><br />you will not go home hungry. Lets see who the last person to turn it to red is <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> <br />And of course, you can turn back and forth (red to green, green to red) - if you just need to pace yourself.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Leon- we could look at "sites", but I think we want to see "sights." <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> (okay, I'm a pain in the ass)<br /><br />Joe- that sounds great, convenient neighborhood, and if everyone is fine with it, that's a wrap.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Well if you wanted to see where the World Trade Center used to be, we would be viewing a site.<br /><br />But if we go to the Empire State Building, that would be sightseeing.<br /><br />So on further review, I will give you a free pass on this one. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Just curious--This steak house appears to be in Manhattan. How is the parking situation? It's so expensive to park around Manhattan, but the Brazilian steak house idea is almost too tempting to pass up! For any of you who haven't been to one of these, you're in for a little taste of culinary heaven!

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Jodi- parking can be pretty expensive- I took my car in last month for the first time in a while- I parked for three hours and it was $30. That was upper east side, so figure around $25 even in the 20's...but if you want to join us please do. Just let us know as we will need a head count at some point.
