I just got off the phone with Ted Z. and not only is he joining us, but his lovely wife Charlotte will also be attending. They are coming to NYC for a couple of days to take it all in. As such, my wife Judy will also be coming as she and Charlotte are good friends.

So anybody who wants to bring a spouse or significant other with them, please don't be bashful. Since we are now getting to be a pretty big group, when we finally pick a restaurant, I will probably get two tables. The women or couples can sit at one if they choose. We've found in the past that if you put too many people at one table, and the restaurant is loud, you can only have a conversation with the people sitting right next to you. So two tables should work fine.

So again,wives are invited and welcome. Single folks too.

Sparks Steakhouse on 46th
Avra on 48th (great greek food)
PJ Clarkes on 55th (legendary burgers & raw bar)
Naples 45 on 45th (big Italian restaurant, great pizza)
Becco on 46th (Lidia's pasta joint) in theater district

Michael- Steve H suggested this restaurant, Haymaker, on West 29th St. Looks like it will fill the bill of not being too pricey, more a comfort food place. I'm not sure I even want to pick a place- would you like to? But please at least look at Haymaker and let's consider it.

Looks decent. Nice spread of Bourbons.

I'm easy...as long as the food, drinks and atmosphere are fantastic.

Also, we gotta make sure any of these places can accommodate our size group...that'll be the deciding factor.

I will give Haymaker a call Monday and get a feel of how they can seat say a group of around 12-15. I'll report back afterwards.
