Time and place info
Good news. Abraham (I've used him over the years) is able to provide a 25 passenger vehicle at a reasonable price. ^
This means Marty can ride with an empty seat next to him.
Just for the record, BRT has donated $200 to the Capt Jason Dahl Foundation.
A copy of which was cc'd to Carol. More riders = additional donations. ^
Pick up location: Write it down
234 East 46 street. It's the same location as previous tours. This is between Second and Third Avenue on the east side. It's just down the block from Sparks Steakhouse.
You'll need cash for pizza at L&B + dinner at Fiorentino's.
Anyone not on the tour can join us for lunch or dinner. We've been known to give hitchhikers a ride to our next stop.

Please note: everyone pays for what they order. We do not split the bill. If you order pasta and a coke, that's what you'll pay for + tax/tip. If you order a steak and a beer, that's what you'll pay for. Remember to bring cash. They only allow 1 credit card to be charged.
One last thing, Fiorentino's is a red check table cloth type of place. Don't order anything fancy. Stick to the tried and true ie pastas, chicken, and veal.
I'm heading to the airport shortly -- look forward to seeing all y'all tomorrow morning.

Tight Squeeze in a Charter Bus
A friend just sent a link to this video, which reminded me of a previous BRT. Sorry I can't join you this year, have fun everyone!

^^ Wonder if Larry will be there, too?
They also do not accept Hilton Hhonors cards.
Think veal parm, not osso bucco. Also, Italian restaurants may not be the best place to order a Greek salad.
