I argue since Pjaucutt suggested it... then maybe we can coordinate the NYC FlyerTalk
"mini-convention" around his schedule when he comes to NYC to inspect the hotel.

Although just about every weekend is good for me. If I"m traveling for business, I'll be back for the weekend. I don't have weddings,
birthdays, etc coming up so I'll be free.

That means Feb 27th would be fine. Or even
March (except the 20th which looks like Baobab's Boston "convention" date.)

The meeting would give me an excuse to stay at the new "W" boutique hotel on Lexington.
They have a special rate and I want to rack up those Starwoood's points.

For restaurants, I have NOT been to LeCirque
but I'll make it easy on everyone... I'll go anywhere. Peter Lugar's is great for steak but I don't believe they take credit cards.
(correct me Boomer.) There's also Ben Benson's for steak. Maybe we should pick a place that's easy to get to.

The Mark is one of my favorite hotels. I have NOT stayed there but it has a great restaurant, attentive service, a small quiet hotel where my celebrity photog says a lot of celebrities stay. And of course it's my namesake so it's the best.

NJDavid's offer also sounds great. I would take you to my workplace but our company BANS
any visitors unless I get it cleared by 13 people. It's also on the West Side. Plus the last time I sneaked visitors in the boss found me (on a saturday) and said "OH GOOD!
So & So calle dotu sicka dn you can work."
I declined so I don't want to end up that happening again! CATMAN
