[bettyellen]

afternoon. time and place to be kicked around here.

even if you never met or had any exchanges with him here, he would have loved to be the catalyst for some good progressive people meeting up, so i'm hoping you'll feel welcome enough to come.

thanks all.

1. Well, he DID like The Racoon Lounge, right?

There are lots of places he would approve of. Beauty Bar?

4. That would be GREAT Kathy!

5. I've been there before (not with DUers)

it's a fun place.

Can you think of any other dive bars with good food?

6. We were at the boat basin yesterday and it was a blast.

It's the outdoor cafe over at Riverside Drive by the Hudson at 72nd. They have food and apparently the best burgers. We didn't eat there but had beers out on the terrace. It's GREAT for summer fun. It's always an option.

7. That would be a nice location, because

if it's as hot as it is today (hottest temps in 2 years), the breeze from the river will be a relief.

8. Good point.

But if it's REAL hot, an air conditioned bar with a halfway decent jukebox would be even better. But the Boat Basin WAS a lot of fun.

9. its a nice very lil dive with awful hot dogs...

but theres lots of food in the nieghborhood, pretty good pissa across the street. its main draw is that it has back little beer garden and the locations near a lot of transportation.
hmmm, i'm sooo out of ideas right now. it's too hot to think.

my friend is a sous chef here + it's pretty nice.

its the west village. they might be extra nice to us. + have nice pub menu and unbelievable beers. it was trendy + overcrowded in the spring, but a sat afternoon should be great.

10. I'm easy.

At least that's what they tell me. :-)

11. my friends are all working at the pig saturday...
