Hi everyone,
I made a separate thread for this as the previous one ran back to October and I feared it wouldn't attract any views.
We meet at 6pm (though I get there right as the upstairs open to snag the tables along the window) though people are free to come after that. We stay until 10 or so though we may go on longer.
I'm contemplating a completely unofficial afterparty for interested members at The Eagle. YMMV
Where we will be:
Because of it's proximity to east and west side trains, ease of parking, price, atmosphere, acceptance of under 21s, and the great time we had there the first time around, we'll be at the Old Town Bar and Restaurant, which is right off Union Square on 18th street between Broadway and Park Ave South. Old Town has decent, very reasonably priced, bar food and a very good burger that some contend is the best in the city. It also has two urinals famous throughout the city for their Edwardian elephantineness.
So without further ado:
OK then......
A friendly get-together for dinner and drinks with LPSG members.
Old Town Bar and Restaurant
45 East 18th Street
New York, NY 10003
212.529.6732
Google Maps
Train service to the location is exceptional:
The closest subway station is the Union Square/14th Street station that serves the L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5, and 6 trains. A little further away is the F, L, V, and PATH station at 14th Street and Sixth Ave.
It is easy to get to from either Penn Station, or if driving, the Lincoln tunnel.
If you're driving in, you can find parking garages nearby here.
The dress code there is casual. The neighborhood is Union Square/Gramercy.
LPSG members (and their SOs). It doesn't matter if you live in New York or Timbuktu. It doesn't matter if you know anyone or no one. If you can make it, you're welcome to attend.
Saturday, January 24th, 2009 starting at 6pm and going until whenever. I will get there early. Arrive any time from 6pm onward. If you don't know where to go, just look around for me or ask for Jason_Els, which is the name I will give the host(ess). I will give my cell phone number to people who confirm so you can call me if you can't find us. We will be upstairs along the window. You can see exactly where we will be on their web page if you click on the, "Upstairs," link on the left. The upstairs is pretty small and quiet so finding us won't be difficult. Just walk in the front door, go up the stairs, and there we are.
Send me a PM or reply in this thread and I will add you to the list. Please include a first name (real or otherwise). You do not have to give a last name. If you confirm and then cannot make it, please let me know. The more numbers I can give the restaurant, the easier it will be for them and us. Your privacy is important so please be aware there will be people with cameras. If you do not want your picture taken, please let people know. Nobody will hassle you about it. The pictures will only be posted here at LPSG but will be visible to non-gold members.
This isn't an orgy or even a sexy party. You will be required to keep your clothing on because this is a real, normal, restaurant and bar. While this isn't a dating scene, who you hook-up with or ask out afterward is up to you.
The best things in life are free so that means this ain't. Please bring enough of the green stuff to cover your bill and tip. Keep track of what you order and spend. We do separate checks for drinks and usually split the food tab among those who eat. You may end-up paying a little more than you think you should be and if that really bothers you then run a separate tab. There is no cover charge for the restaurant and, as New York restaurants go, Old Town is very reasonable. Check the menu on their website to get an idea of how much you will be spending.
We had loads of fun last time and hope to see more faces at this event. If anything, the experience confirms that LPSG is full of some of the most fascinating people around. We hope you'll attend and enjoy the company of other LPSG members!
