Please count me in. I'll be in town Friday night.

I'm in Friday if there's still room?

So I'm busy on Friday until about 7pm in Midtown (somewhere near Times Square). Not sure exactly what time I'll be done, but I will try to get down to join if I can break free without it being too late, so if someone can save an empty seat for me, I'll try my best to join!

Also, they do have a full bar, but the person I spoke with said they do not offer corkage but seemed unsure. I'll ask again when I call back to confirm the reservation

Probably not the end of the world, since the late-harvest Gewürztraminer I bought in Alsace for frantic didn't make the trip home in one piece. (Miraculously, the other 14 bottles I brought home did manage to survive bouncing around Lufthansa, Air Canada, and United's networks until they finally made it home to me on a delivery van.)

I hope to make it there and see everyone!

Burkina Faso is tomorrow night (October 11) at my apartment on the Upper East Side. This will be more of an informal gathering than a sit-down dinner, if for no other reason than I have yet to purchase a dining table for this apartment :). I think I've given the address to everyone on the attendee list below, but if anyone else is interested in coming, please drop me a PM. Come over anytime beginning ~7:30.

I asked for enough food for 8-10 people, so it's first come, first served. We will have 3 courses available (main, side, dessert), but I don't exactly know what they will be....

It was a fun evening on the UES with good food & wine and old & new friends! I didn't get a chance to say a proper goodbye to some of the participants as they hopped into a cab, etc. Hopefully, I will be attending more of these dinners, sooner or later, and I really appreciate your organizing them! ^ (As an added bonus, I finally got to see the 2nd Ave subway construction and the leaning, evacuated and condemned old building that is apparently a casualty of the construction vibration.... :eek: )

So glad you could join us - let me know next time you'll be in town and I'll try to put another one on the calendar :)

Nice to know I'm not the only one who finds that building interesting! I'm thinking the over/under for its collapse is the Djibouti meal.

For those coming tonight, note that Cafe Cambodge only accepts cash and Amex. See you all at 7!

Spoke with Cambodge just now and they do have a wine list but it is limited so they will charge corkage of $15. I will bring a bottle or two.

Wish I'd have known 3.5 hours ago! I'd have grabbed something from my newly-acquired stash...or maybe even an oldie! :D

Hope to see you guys soon.

jackal Oct 17, 2014 4:52 pm

On my way from Times Square now!

jackal Oct 17, 2014 9:25 pm

After-party at bdnyc's in true FlyerTalk fashion--cookies and milk! Too bad you all missed it! :D

Thanks again to thewayofthefuture for yet another great time of fun and food!

For some strangely perverse reason my wife & I have decided to come to New York for Thanksgiving this year

If you're planning anything for that week we would love to join you, but realise that it may not be possible that week

Like a few others around here, I generally flee the country on cheap airfare the week of Thanksgiving. I do expect to be in the city from 11/21 (Fri) to 11/24 (Mon), and could try to schedule a meal if that aligns with your travel plans.

Thanks for the quick reply

Unfortunately we don't land until the 25th so we'll miss you.

Still, plenty of the alphabet left so maybe we'll get a chance later on.
