Thanks for confirming; I also sent them an email to that effect but have yet to receive a response. bdnyc is also targeting 7pm, so I'm just going to show up around that time as well.

Got stuck at work until 1030pm Wednesday. Ugh. End-of-year madness. Sorry, didn't see the reminder texts until too late (130am- too late to text back?) Apologies.

But looks good for Sanur.......in two hours? Oy. Better get moving here.

It was a great event; we were able to knock Cabo Verde, Eritrea, Equitorial Guinea, Mozambique, and many more off the list. Lots of pictures are coming very soon.

See you guys at Sanur shortly :)

That's cheating! You're supposed to strictly follow the alphabet! So how does this progress adjust the finish date? :D

Eater reports a new Bhutanese restaurant has opened in Woodside--couldn't they get their act together a month or so sooner? ;)

Well this I have to check out. Himalyan Yak only had a couple of Bhutanese dishes. Anyone feel like trekking out to Queens for a Bhutan redux?

Any updates? We are one week away and the venue is up in the air?

Sorry sorry. This one (Chile) took a bit of work and then I ran off to Abu Dhabi for the long weekend. There was a Chilean place in Hell's Kitchen but it has since closed and been replaced by a Turkish restaurant. I finally managed last week to track down a bakery/cafe in Astoria (Qns) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/san-antonio-bakery-2-astoria - but they do close at 7:30pm.

So.. my plan is to get dinner at San Antonio Bakery at 6:30pm on Friday (January 23), and then, since this is rather early, invite any interested parties back to my apartment on the UES for a celebration of Chilean wine. There is apparently a specialty wine shop in Chinatown perfect for the occasion - http://www.purowine.com/.

I can also place a take-out order at the cafe for anyone who wants to join us wine but can't/prefer not to trek to Queens by 6:30.

Oh, we're doing one this Friday? I can join! I get into JFK around 2pm or so.

BOB W Jan 17, 2015 10:57 am

I can meet up for the after party but will need the address. PM me please.

bdnyc Jan 17, 2015 11:03 am

I'm good for Chile Friday 1/23 630pm. Might go a few minutes early. See y'all soon.

Bob W looks like your 7pm JFK means we won't see you until the after-party. Remember, flat rate taxi from JFK to Manhattan, or easy Airtrain and E train, then short local taxi at 53rd and Lex.

Edit. Oops. Synchronized posting here.

365RoadWarrior Jan 17, 2015 11:52 am

Okay if i join? This would be my first.

jackal Jan 17, 2015 12:23 pm

So what sort of chili are we having on Friday? :p
