Couldn't do May 24 (see my post #9) but can do the 14th. New Haven is about my westerly limit coming from Massachusetts the far side of Providence. Put me down as a maybe.

Finally, a chance to meet some other FT'ers. Mrs DxT and I are definite. ^

I can do that....

Great! I've updated the OP to have the date/time/location info as well as those who are attending. I'll keep it updated.

Can a mod please append the thread title to include "June 14th in New Haven"?

as usual, I'll miss this by a couple days.

Awesome. I'm in (subject to possibly having to go back to Shanghai for the fourth time this Spring).

Also, if anyone comes across other CT FTers, pass along the message. There a lot of us.

Count me in as a maybe. More east would have been a certain yes.

They're all first-come, first-served. I always thought standing in line was half the fun. Weird? Maybe. But I was always with a pack of friends and already had a good buzz on. :cool:

I wish I could attend. I just moved from New Haven.

The "famous" pizza places in New Haven are all a little overrated. The best pizza place, I think, is BAR on Chapel Street, where you can get fantastic microbrewed beer along with the usual brick-oven pizza.

By far the most unique and wonderful eating establishment in New Haven is Louie's Lunch. I'm not sure if it's open Wednesday nights, but if it is, you all should stop in for one of the best hamburgers on planet Earth after having a few too many martinis at Hot Tomato. (The enormous space at Hot Tomato is great, but I'm not sure about the food. I personally like Roomba--the slightly overpriced but still unmatched Cuban restaurant next to the Union League Cafe.)

I'm most often a lurker here, but since I live a short walk from Hot Tomato's, you can count me in. The annual Arts and Ideas festival is currently going on, but that shouldn't have much of an effect on parking, etc.

Kcvt is right on both accounts, the pizza is better than those obnoxious places on Wooster St and l as luck would have it I am out of town so no matter where you choose to go your hubcaps are safe.

Count me in! Just got back from Asia/Australia, wanted to see how the readjustment went and make sure no conflicts had cropped up while I was away. Everything's fine on both counts.

Could someone please post the address of Hot Tomato's for out-of-towners?

Have you been to Soul de Cuba on Crown? Better food. Fewer gimmicks. Cheaper.

MARTINI WEDNESDAY
(Every Wednesday ** 4 pm - closing ** at the bar only)
$5 MARTINIS FROM THE BLACKBOARD
COME EXPERIENCE WHY HOT TOMATO’S CONSISTENTLY WINS
“BEST MARTINI IN NEW HAVEN COUNTY”

Sorry to stand you guys up, but I ended-up having to stay in Shanghai longer than expected (5 weeks total). I am in NRT now on my way home (for now).

Hope it was a fun event!

Indeed it was, at least for me, even though only four people made it: KenCT, dxtraveler and Mrs. d. Definitely worth the drive! ^ ^ ^
