Rest assured that I will not be calling you if you're late. If you are running late, I'll give you directions to our first stop. Its happened before, and it will happen again. I did leave Catman, one of my oldest dearest FT friends, behind.
If you want my cell phone number, PM me.
That year, the tour was on a Friday since I had to attend a Bar Mitzvah on Saturday. There was lots of traffic that day. I didn't think traffic would be that bad late in the morning on a weekday. BRT is all about the food. One of the latecomers says to me I'm hungry. This is something you don't say to me since it puts the pressure on. Keeping in mind it was that person who was late. We wouldn't be eating for another 90 minutes. The following year, Catman called to say he was running late. I hated to do it. I departed on time.
When Randy joined us on BRT 6, the only thing I worried about for weeks prior to the tour was would Randy be on time.
Would I have left him?? What do you think?

We're up to 20. Just a few seats left. This is going to cost our host a few extra dollars.
Better read his blog (in the link below), and use his links.

Payment has been made. Now all that's left is to starve myself for all the great food! ^

This is another stop I'm considering, time permitting. Since we're not stopping at Greenwood Cemetery, there may be a little time.

It's right by the ballpark, just a couple of blocks from the traditional Boardwalk stop.

Both places are fun. Totally different, but fun. Both will be crowded, Katz's less so.
Katz's - lower eastside (LES).
Eataly - Flatiron.
Katz's - more down and dirty, and keeping with the BRT theme.
Eataly - more upscale, with loads of tourists.
Both neighborhoods will keep you busy. Whatever you decide to do will be the right decision.
2 weeks to go. I better start looking for my folder.
