Classic Flyertalk: not only is there a pre-soup do to the all-day BRT eating extravaganza, and a post-wine do, but now there is a pre-pre do.

Since a number of us are flying in for BRT, it might make sense to organize a
shared ride post, so that some of us could travel into town together.
I'm flying in sfo-jfk, arriving at JFK 21:47 6/11/10. Anyone else arriving close to this time. I'm booked at the Roosevelt midtown.

Specific Departure Location?
Can you save me browsing sixteen pages of commentary to provide a specific departure point on the first page? I know I saw it in there somewhere. We're taking the 7:55 out of New Haven. It gets in at 9:45, so even in a best case scenario, we're going to be cutting it close.

Call me when you get to 125th street. It's 10 minutes from there to GCT. If you arrive ontime at 9:45, it's a 5 minute walk. If you don't see people milling around, and/or if you don't see the bus... you can call me for directions to the Brooklyn Promenade. We'll depart from the promenade around 11:20 - 11:30.As you know, the BRT will depart ontime. If you think you'll be a couple of minutes late, I can wait. Doors close at 10:00. Pushback at 10:03.
234 East 46 street between 2nd and 3rd Ave.
If you arrive at GCT on the upper level, make a left. You'll exit on Lexington Ave at 44th street. Walk up to 46th street and make a right towards 3rd ave.

Will Dan be showing us how to put on the oxygen masks in case of an unexpected loss of bus pressure?

The photo of the building could have been taken anytime within the past few years. Google doesn't constantly take new photos of the same building!!! But meanwhile the building has had a succession of different names, as multiple incarnations of an extended-stay hotel/furnished corporate apartment type thingy. I would ignore any labeling on the building and focus on finding the address only!
