Mark Zeger Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I'll be in NYC (Midtown) on Thur. 7/24. Would anyone like to go out that night? I'll probably have a business dinner, but I'll be free afterwards (8pm). It won't be a late night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Hey, it may be a bit early to bring this up, but I'd really like to try and do a big dinner thing for the AES show in NYC at the beginning of October. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Grace Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Mark, I wish I could be there. We had such a great time at the place you recommended in April; and it would have been great to go back, meet you, and have a Jan Folkson Quintet Plus One reunion! Unfortunately, this month is just too early for us to go back. October, however, is another matter... Have fun, everyone!

Mark Zeger Posted July 14, 2003 Author Share Posted July 14, 2003 Dan, Jan and Magpel: It would be great you see you. If 8pm works, let's pick a place. I'm staying near Carnegie Hall (nice that they built a concert hall by the Carnegie Deli). Any spot from there toward the Theater District probably works. (BTW, John: I'll be in Newburgh the weekend of the 8/2-3 if you can't make it into the city.) I don't think I'll be in NYC around AES, but definitely another time in October.

Soundscape Studios. Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Hey Mark - I'm 10 min. out of midtown! Of course, I would only be able to eat strictly kosher meals, but there are tons of great, classy kosher restaurants in the area. There's also a great steakhouse on 72nd & West End which is within walking distance of Carnegie Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpel Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Great steakhouse in the 70s sounds good to me. Also, I love it when we meet on the upper West side. It actually carves quite a good chunk of time off my trip. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan South Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Man, I'd LOVE to go back to Il Becco, but whatever you guys want is good with me.

Mark Zeger Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 I was thinking drinks more than dinner. I figured if Jan and I are both in the Theater District/Times Square area, it would be easy to meet somewhere around there. Iridium has trumpeter Wallace Roney with pianist Geri Allen, but that could turn into an expensive evening. If it's easier for anyone coming from Jersey or Upstate, then let's go with something on the Upper West Side. If we want to hear some music, I found something interesting at a club with no cover. Meeting at 8p and catching a 9p set might work. Smoke, 2751 Broadway at 106th St. Jim Rotondi & David Hazeltine's Electric Band Personnel: Barak Mori (electr. bass) · David Hazeltine (Fender Rhodes) · Greg Skaff (guitar) · Jim Rotondi (trumpet & synth.) · Joe Strasser (drums) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan South Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 The Times Square are is best for me, but do what suits the gang, and I'll hang for as long as possible before my train. The Black Knight always triumphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Zeger Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 Heartland Brewery is probably a good choice. If Jan checks in, maybe he can suggest a place around Times Square or a little west of there if that helps Mag, Dan, and Soundscape. Soundscape, can you join us for a drink at a non-Kosher restaurant/bar? The only Kosher restaurant I know near Times Square is the Le Marais steakhouse on W46th bet. 6th & 7th. There must be many others around there to cater to the Diamond District. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Folkson Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 There are lotsa good places down by me. Let me give it some thought.

Le Mareis is a more upscale joint, where you could spend $45 on a meal - good food though. If you are just thinking of a drink, I could definitely join you guys at a non-kosher place, and get a coke or something (or a brewski). If you decide to eat, however, there are many excellent places around Times Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpel Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Maybe not so upscale? Maybe like a Blarney Stone? Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Folkson Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Liquid refreshment sounds like a good idea to me, especially after 8pm. Perhaps we could do a pub as Magpel suggested, some can eat some can drink some can do both - Jan Folkson http://www.janfolkson.com "How do you know when it's music and not just a bunch of noise" - Dennis the Menace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Zeger Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 Here's an idea, but the menu seems a little expensive for simple bar food: McGee's 240 West 55th St (bet. Broadway and 8th Ave.) New York, NY 10019 (www.mcgeespub.com though I don't trust a "pub" with it's own website) Heartland Brewery (either on 6th & 51st, or 43rd in Times Sq) is still is an option. I know there are plenty of neighborhood places. I just can't find them online (which adds to their character). Jan, maybe you can think of one.

Dave Horne Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Originally posted by Jan Folkson: There are lotsa good places down by me. Let me give it some thought. Does anybody have any preferences for food type/ethnicity?Sorry to intrude on this as I won't be in the US. When I lived near NYC, I would frequent a neighborhood restaurant at 80Th and B'way. It was called Teacher's, I believe, and had a lot of character and was reasonably priced. As I recall it was not far from Zabars. There was also a jazz club close by (90th and B'way(?) where I heard Dick Hyman perform. This is going back more than ten years so that restaurant may not still be there.

Mark Zeger Posted July 19, 2003 Author Share Posted July 19, 2003 Can we agree to Thur 7/24 8pm @ McGee's on 55th bet. B'way & 8th? I'm open to other ideas, but if there's nothing better to consider, let's go there. If it sucks, we'll head elsewhere after the first round. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it.

flyscots Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I'm good at not being in the New York area when you do these things! Oh well, have fun! Dave, if I've got to go back to Scotland again in October, I'll probably be doing so via the East Coast and will be attending the AES show, so I'm up for your idea.
