There are now 10 people on the list. I am emailing the manager from Katz's again, but taking Dovster's advice and insisting on à la carte ordering and also requesting individual checks. I am not optimistic but it does not hurt to ask. If their answer is no, I will create a poll to help us choose a possible establishment(s).

As I mentioned in another post, there is some interest in a bodega cat hunt afterwards. I am not sure if any bodegas in lower Manhattan will have cats, however -- we may have better luck further uptown.
