I see Jane! How was your flight?

Hello from Bethesda. I'm usin the computer at the hotel.

Bruce GOOD VIBES!

Danise I don't sleep when it is noisy. I wonder if the hotel has a quiet side.

Michael S I know about back pain and I hope you feel better soon.

MBarnum, sorry but I can't stop laughing. You ate at a deli, not a diner.

So... I believe the HHW Meal Calendar is this for the next couple of days:

Monday, 10/3 - 6:30 - Barrymore's - DR elmore made the reservation. If you think you might make it, be sure to check in with him if you haven't already.

Tuesday, 10/4 - ?:??, Restaurant to be determined. DR elmore asked me to "host" this evening, but I think I may have to pass. I know Indian was the planned cuisine, but that's not necessarily set in stone. Additionally, I may be working Tuesday, and I'm not sure what time I'll be done... and with Wednesday already planned as a full day... I know that the ladies of HHW were planning a walking tour of Central Park that day, and maybe they/you could just continue from there to dinner. If you'd like any restaurant suggestions, feel free to ask. But, for right now, the time and place is still up in the air. *Just remember, you have a long day coming up on Wednesday...

I have decided to bow out Tuesday night, much as I wanted to meet the Vixter; I have suddenly too much work to deal with by Friday. and I will not miss Wednesday night out. I send apologies, but as Sondheim says of New York, "some come to work, some to play."

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #154 on:** October 02, 2005, 07:17:27 PM »

Looking ahead. Planning ahead.

Here is the general route for Wednesday's tour by neighborhood.

Start at Rockefeller Center - Take the F or V down to Lower East Side
Lower East Side
Chinatown
Little Italy
SoHo
The West Village
Chelsea Market
Chelsea
Midtown/Theatre District
Columbus Circle

After Columbus Circle, you will have the option to head back to your hotels to freshen up, rest up, make phone calls, etc. Or you may continue walking up Broadway and exploring the Upper West Side. And then the tour will end at La Cocina for the Grand Dinner - well, I guess I should say the Fiesta Grande!

Again, the main route covers about four and a half miles to five miles.

If you will be joining us midway, just call me on my cell - if you don't have my cell yet, just PM or e-mail - and I'll give you an idea of where we are and the closest subway stop. I'll post a prospective timetable sometime tomorrow or Tuesday.

I forgot to add that on Tuesday my one social event will be to meet Nurse Jane at Penn Station. I will most likely meet you all at La Cocina on Wednesday evening.

As for tomorrow night's trek to Splash...

Since there will be a gathering at Barrymore's, I'm thinking the best plan of attack would be to meet at Barrymore's - if you won't already be there for the dinner at 8:00, and we shall subway en masse down to Splash.

Musical Mondays starts at 8:00 and continues until midnight upstairs, and then until 2:00am downstairs in the lounge.

If you will be meeting us at Splash later in the evening, the bar is located at 50 West 17th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues, closer to 6th Ave.) You can take the 4/5/6/N/R to Union Square; the F/L to 14th St. @ 6th Ave.; the 1/9 to 18th @ 7th Ave,; or the 1/2/3/9 to 14th @ 7th Ave.

There is usually no cover charge, but sometimes one will kick in past 10:00 - usually just $5.00. Cokes run about $4.00, and rail drinks start at $6.00. There is NO drink minimum.

You do not have to stay the whole evening. It's just a block or two walk to the nearest subway, and if the A train runs Express from the 14th street stop - just two stops to Times Square.

There are video screens all over the place, so you will be surrounded by Barbara, Liza, Jennifer, Idina, Patti and many other throughout the evening. Bars and restaurants in NYC are non-smoking, but the noise levels can still cause a bit of ringing in the ears. *The decibel level in the downstairs lounge is at a more comfortable level. It truly is just a nice place to hang out and have fun. And people watch. *Splash can get warm sometimes, so dress accordingly. It's very casual - jeans and t-shirt are prefectly acceptable.

I am very sorry to hear that. You have my cell number so if you have a free spot in the day perhaps we can catch a quick lunch or even just a quick hello and hug if our paths will be close enough (I am always ready to detour for you!!)

I know it's not "Ask Bruce" today; but I have question: Why is Bruce Kimmel member #12 on his own damned site. Seems to me, he should be #1 and, speaking of that, who is #1?

Ginny I had two very nice flights thank you. While walking around the San Francisco airport I found a Chinese take out and a great lunch for the plane, rice and tofu.

Hmm... So who exactly was going to dinner on Tuesday night?

Well the whole thing is still slightly "up in the air"

The original cast was elmore, MBarnum , Danise, Ben, Jane, the Vixter & myself, I think Jason was going to try and join, possibly Rodzinski & Tpunk.

Indian food was elmore's suggestion, in honor of MBarnum, (supposing of course he had not by then accidently tumbled from any roofs). Jane apparently loves Indian food, I can only assume MBarnum is a fan as well. The Vixter and I have never partaken of the cuisine but are willing to give it ago. I cannot speak to anyone else. Being a mere suburbanite I have no clew where to eat so suggestions are most welcome.

If you leave it to me we'll end up at John's Pizza and get a pizza curry

I like Indian food.

There are some very good, and very cheap Indian places in Little India. Just take the 6 Train to Astor Place and let your nose and eyes guide you to where you want to eat.

Although, some of those hole-in-the-wall Indian places up and down 9th Avenue are pretty good too.

OH! Since you will be staying at the Comfort Inn - there is a small counter place called Kati Roll almost across the street from your hotel. I tried this place out after it was recommended to me by one of the monitor's at the Equity Building - which is also on 46th. It's basically Indian street food - various fillings, vegetarian and meat, rolled up in paratha. Very good and filling. And single roll runs just about $4.00. With a discount given when you buy two of the same roll.

...And down the street, there is Utsav. They have a great lunch buffet, and the dinner menu is nice too - if a little in the "fine dining" price range. A beautiful second floor space.

Warm Spring day - I've been hunting Bears!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #170 on:** October 02, 2005, 07:48:07 PM »

Pogue, I asked BK that a couple weeks back, for I, too, was perplexed. I think the idea was that the site was up for a bit before it went "live," and some people were working on the site and so forth.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #171 on:** October 02, 2005, 07:49:42 PM »

There is a more centralized "little India" in Manhattan. Lexington Avenue around 33rd Street has several fine Indian places or cheap Indian eats like "Curry in a Hurry."

Jane · « **Reply #172 on:** October 02, 2005, 07:49:55 PM »

Tomovoz, cute bears.

Jose thanks for all the info, however I'm at the hotel computer without any paper. I will give you a call when I'm ready for Indian food.

I should head to my room now. I've been up since 4:00 and have a very early wake-up call tomorrow. On west coast time it will still be 4:00.

Are you lonesome tonight?

Or did that puppy bite?

Did it chew on your sofa and pee?

Did it soil your rug

When you gave it a hug?

And put in your ear a new flea?

Did it bark 'til the neighbors called the police?

Did your landlord threaten to cancel your lease?

Walking the dog in the rain

Can be a real pain

Are you happy or lonely tonight?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #174 on:** October 02, 2005, 07:51:50 PM »

Oh, Jose the thing with that guy at John's was he rather rudely booted me from the restroom, which turned out to be the handicapped restroom. There was a ladies room and this other bathroom, so I ducked in there and he came smashing in on me, and I didn't find it necessary.

Jane - sounds like Danise is toward the front, a left turn off the elevator. Ask for a room farther back.
