Sorry guys couldn't find the time this weekend, so I'm thinking I'll go next Saturday afternoon (Feb 6) ~1pm, assuming the weather cooperates this time. I'll make a reservation if there's enough interest.

Czech lunch part 2 at Koliba is still a go for today, though it's looking like 1:30 is more likely

Edit: numbers

I'm in Astoria now, will probably get my car washed quickly but if anyone makes it before 1:30 just pm me and we can catch up earlier

Figured I'd give this thread a small prod. If you successfully completed the Czech Republic, I believe Denmark is up next!

There's a Scandiavian Food Hall opening soon in Grand Central Terminal - that's the plan for Denmark, perhaps followed by a visit to Třrst in Greenpoint. No date confirmed, but soon.

In hopes of making progress again, I'll probably be dropping the alphabetical approach; it has become more of a hindrance than anything else.

This really does sound a fun but difficult challenge. ^

Sounds good!
There's also Bourdain's new food hall to open later this year, we can go visit!

Denmark!
The 'Great Northern Food Hall' is now open in Grand Central Terminal's Vanderbilt Hall. It's not any kind of formal establishment - just a few different counters - so I'm thinking I'll try to swing by there for a bit of Danish fare at some point this weekend.

EDIT: This is going to happen on Sunday. Time TBD but it will be on the later side of lunch.

Good chance I can make it. I'll invite the usual suspects.

Saturday 9/24 Burmese 8pm

Burmese dinner this Saturday night, September 24 at Cafe Mingala on the Upper East Side. By most accounts this is the only dedicated Burmese restaurant in the city.

Menu
NY Times Writeup
Yelp
Map

Last and certainly not least, corkage is $5 for the first bottle and then free thereafter. As such, monitor has suggested that everyone bring a bottle of wine for the table - anything will do; I'll let those other dinners have their price minimums

Reservation for 8pm, and I owe them a final headcount tomorrow. Who's in?
