June 11th meetup location suggestions:

[liontamer]

So far rocky sullivans. any others?

[Lavender Brown]

1. Someplace farther downtown maybe?

Rocky Sullivan's is fine but I'm always in that area for work and stuff. :shrug:

[liontamer]

2. i prefer downtown too

Do you have a suggestion for a bar that has relatively cheap drinks, is near a subway, and won't mind a bunch of drunken dems on a saturday?

[Lavender Brown]

3. All the good East Village places are so far from the subway

And are pretty cramped, too. :P Maybe the best bet is to stick with that one since a lot of DUers have been there before.

[liontamer]

4. Barrow st ale house

in west village near ace, bdfv, downstairs has pool and darts

[bettyellen]

5. ruby somethings on 8th up a few blocks from port authority.....

it's cheap and weird and it stinks of beer, and they have a back yard where you can smoke with a beer in hand.
last time i was there a meeting of the mustache club of ny was going on.
also, drinking liberally has been there. so they're used to this stuff.
and i think being near times sq/ PA is pretty democratic.

[Renew Deal]

7. I think you mean Rudy's

Sounds like it. Does it have a pig outside?

[Renew Deal]

6. Rudy's on 9th.

It's a cool place and has a nice outdoor area.

[bettyellen]

8. hi bleachers! yes rudy's. i keep saying ruby's because the bar tender is a

red head. and i keep thinking she must be ruby. LOL.

[liontamer]

9. Rudy's sounds good to me

can you get me more info i.e. exact location, will they be open in the afternoon etc. ?

[tk2kewl]

11. West side of 9 Ave btwn 44 St and 45 St

[bettyellen]

12. they say they open before 8 am, too.

the guy on the phone says they never close...
i just thought that the location is convieneint for travellers, not so hard to get to Penn, Grand Central or Port Authority from there.

Rudy's Bar & Grill Jazz Juke Box
627 Ninth Ave, NY

[tk2kewl]

10. and free hot dogs!

[HamdenRice]

13. How about a totally anti-Bush bar -donated receipts to Democratic Party?

There is a really cool bar in Brooklyn, just across the Manhattan Bridge with a subway station staircase literally outside its door.

Moe's has a wonderful multi-racial vibe, is owned by two young dynamic women, and best of all, is very progressive and anti-Bush. There are a few funny posters of Bush looking stupid, and in the weeks before the election last fall, the owners donated a percentage of receipts to the Kerry campaign (or it might have been the Democratic Party).

Great food is literally steps away -- Japanese, Vietnamese, Soul Food, South African, West African, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Italian, French -- anything you could want.

Moe's is in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn next to the Layfeyette Stop.

14. buyBlue actBlue Moe's sounds good

We will give you a list of common and random items to find around the area. Bring back as many items as you can find by 5pm. There will be a great party at Moe'sfollowing the event.



there are a lot of review/promo sites you can google , the only negative of the few I looked at was the place can be loud


IF Moe's is the place then they need to be presented with a DU sticker/+poster

[Lavender Brown]

15. As much as I would love to have it in Brooklyn...

The subway service is so messed up between Brooklyn and Manhattan on the weekends, it might make it a pain for a lot of people and confusing for out-of-towners.

[bettyellen]

16. i think you'll get a lot less people this way.......

but it sounds like a great place. i'm gonna write that down.

[liontamer]

17. Rudy's it is!!!

june 11th starting at around 3:30

[im10ashus]

18. I'll be back from vacation that day.

Looking forward to seeing some fellow NY DUers. Thanks all.

[bettyellen]

19. it'll be great to see you again........

are you bringing whathisname?? i think that was your SO, but i never assume..
anyway that would be good.
LOL.

[im10ashus]

20. LMAO!

Yes, that's what I call him from time to time. What's his name. Tee hee. Mark and I both will be there. Looking forward to seeing you. If you feel like, we are renting a place with a pool in the Hampton's for that week. I think Stephanie is coming out on the 4th and staying the night. You are more than welcome to join us any time that week.

[Cornus]

[KamaAina]

25. Aloha! Just got into NYC

hadn't responded to this because I thought we'd be at Mom and Repuke Man's place down the Jersey Shore over the weekend.

Now, however, it appears we might go down Sunday instead... so party on!

I didn't bring an aloha shirt or anything to identify myself; would a "Partners in Policymaking Hawaii" button do? :-)

[liontamer]

27. aloha!

I just got back from vacation on oahu!
Looking forward to meeting you.
