New York City in June...Anyone?
Maris | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 07:36 am     Well, if you are all going to New York I would be happy to meet you for a hamburger. I know a great place where you can get one for only $41.00. |
Spygirl | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 08:44 am     HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...I do hope things aren't *that* expensive or else I'm in big doggy doo. |
Karuuna | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 10:12 am     Dang! Good thing I'm a vegetarian! How much are the veggie burgers?  |
Maris | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 10:17 am     a veggie burger on the upper west side??? That is a bargain $12.95. The best soup??? Zoop Soups, only $6.00 for a small. |
Wiseolowl | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 10:33 am     Just dress down and go to a soup kitchen - better still dress up and find finger foods at some art gallery exhibition!! |
Juju2bigdog | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 10:47 am     I thought Wiseolowl was cooking pork roast for everybody. |
Webkitty | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 10:47 am     There's always MacDonalds. They have salads. (I KNOW, but still, they are cheap) We had a great meal in Chinatown that was not expensive at all. |
Wiseolowl | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 10:51 am     My only concern is getting a pork roast across the border - you know how much trouble Lucy had trying to deal with her Italian salomi on the plane .. the plane!! |
Juju2bigdog | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 02:43 pm     Wiseolowl, may I suggest that you inveigle Cyn into buying a local butt and stashing it under a rock in Central Park for you to retrieve? |
Wiseolowl | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 03:19 pm     Somehow I've become the expert in pork - believe me I'm not - give that title to Senator Bird of West Virginia. t |
Cyn | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 03:46 pm     hahaha, Wiseowl! |
Maris | Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 08:45 pm     I am ahead of the times, what do you suppose is on the CNN front page, $41 burgers in NY. (http://www.cnn.com/video/) And you all thought I was kidding. |
Karuuna | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 09:04 am     LOL, Maris. They also had them on the Today show this morning. |
Spygirl | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 09:45 am     I saw it too!! I must admit, with all of the attention the burger is getting, I'm tempted to eat one just so I can say I did |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 12:16 pm     well that will be my food budget for the whole day, lol. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 02:20 pm     Maris....I thought you were just exagerating about the fancy restaurants that abound. I immediately thought of you when I saw the spot on Today this morning. |
Maris | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 03:29 pm     lol, apparently everyone found the $41 hamburger, I saw something about it on another station today. So for all you farmers out there, just massage your cows belly's and you can charge a fortune for your beef. Can you image that as a job. Say Joe, what do you do for a living? I am a cow masseuse. |
Spygirl | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 03:34 pm     HAHAHAHAHAHAHA |

Maris | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 03:40 pm     The definitive guide to getting a burger in NYC http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/15/dining/15BURG.html |
Ginger1218 | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 11:56 am     Maris, you are from New York? How come I didn't know that. Well, look, I know it is June, and I know I live in Brooklyn, but I would be willing to make dinner or barbecue on my terrace or something one night, if you guys are willing to come to Brooklyn. I live right on the water in Sheepshead Bay. It is a really pretty area, not far from Coney Island and the Beach etc. Let me know if anyone is interested. If not, I will come to the City (which I will do as well), but if there is one day, you guys want to come here, let me know. |
Pcakes2 | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 12:19 pm     I wish I could be a part of the NYC trip, but I'll be there a few days before you all arrive, and by the time you show up, I'll be in Jamaica! Darn! Maris, I was looking forward to meeting you! |
Juju2bigdog | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 06:32 pm     I am now thinking more seriously of coming. Just found out a friend of mine who is a European opera singer and who I haven't seen or heard from in over 30 years is singing in the Boston Early Music Festival June 9-15. I just found him on the internet last month, living in Paris. New York to Boston is a short hop, right? Would appreciate if somebody who knows would answer this one. What would be the best mode of transportation from New York to Boston? Thanks!! |
Mware | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 06:03 am     Juju - NYC to Boston is a fairly short hop, depending upon how you do it. Driving, you're looking at about 4 hours depending upon traffic. By train it may be 5 or so. Flying would be really quick, but the time in the airports would probably offset most of the travel time saved with check-ins and waiting for baggage, etc. If you do end up driving, let me know, though, because I live about halfway between both cities in CT, and would love to get together for lunch or something!  |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 11:51 am     Thanks, Mware. I somehow thought it was closer. The only thing I am sure of is that I will not be driving. If we met for lunch, we could practice some water rescues!* Yay!
*okay, just kidding |
Twinkie | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 12:00 pm     Juju, I'd give you lots of doggy treats to meet us in NYC! |
Grooch | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 12:11 pm     Juju, come down on the train with Bat! She is from Mass. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 12:44 pm     Juju! email be about taking the train. There is one from Boston to Penn station. I take one from Springfield. They are different lines (both Amtrak) I am a little bit closer. I can come get you in Boston. We'll talk. |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 07:07 pm     Or maybe my friend can come to New York. I haven't even broached the subject with him yet. He just e-mailed me the dates and venue, and is now out of touch for a while. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 07:28 pm     Keep in touch, I am flexable and willing.....................meep............taxi........................ |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 08:21 pm     lol, will do, Fruitbat. |
