I'll be in NYC the weekend of 9/18. Who wants to have drinks in the 19th?

I have a 'date' on the 18th with Robert Plant at the Hammerstein Ballroom but I will be staying an extra night. Who wants to have drinks on the 19th? By then I should have surpassed my 100lb mark for weight loss so I'm sure I'll be up for celebrating somewhere!

Let me know!

1. Sounds like fun.

Congratulations on the weight loss. Last time we were together a strong breeze would have carried you away if you had been 100 pounds smaller.

2. Darn, LynneSin!

I'm going to be there 7/23- 28th, coming right up. I would have loved to meet up with you. I'm taking my two boys (18 & 21) because they've never been before. We are going to do touristy stuff. Sure do wish this would have worked out.

Any suggestions on what we should do, where we should eat, etc.?

3. Dare I say the Olive Garden at Time Squares?

that started one of the most famous DU lounge flame wars!!!!

You can't go wrong anywhere in NYC but if it's a nice day out go to Coney Island!

5. We were planning on Coney Island.

Sadly, my boys would LOVE Olive Garden.

4. Robert Plant, I am so envious

I'll be watching this thread to see if you meet up anywhere near the Jersey side. If so, I may hop the ferry and come meet you and anyone else.

6. I'll be there almost exactly one month earlier, but I'm not staying

Just passing through on my way up the coast to Canada.

7. Hopefully your former QB will not be driving you around whilst you are in NY...

Oh, and congratulations on the weight loss!

8. How about meeting at Howard's Pub on your way back?

Ocracoke is in between NYC and Deleware if you take the scenic route.

9. Yes I often find myself lost in coastal North Carolina

while taking the Amtrak train home from NYC to Wilmington

[taterguy]

10. Have you looked at a fucking Amtrak map?

The train doesn't stop anywhere near Ocracoke.

Closest stop is Rocky Mount.

Do you know how far it is from Rocky Mount to Ocracoke?


Do you?

[LynneSin]

11. I'm trying to memorize all the amtrak stations and I'm only up to New Jersey

I'm only a few states away until I'll learn all the ones in North Carolina

[taterguy]

12. It's about basic geography, not memorization

You can't build train tracks over fucking shoals.

Can you?
