NYC dinner

[Larry]

After the reunion last month, we were talking about meeting up again later this month but Talldrink will be away from the 25th until the 30th so I suggest moving the date ahead or back a week so we wont miss her. I was also hoping we could do it on a Saturday night instead of a Friday.

Any ideas on dates, locations, etc..? Let's get a list together.

Ok Talldrink won't be here for my Birthday on the 25th I say lets do it on the 9th of April on a Saturday night. I would like to see everyone show up on time so we could have a decent dinner and some drinks then goto another location nearby for some real partying

Why don't you guys try a Non Dominican Restaurant where they won't attempt to rip you off like they did at DRK EVERY time? The food isn't even anything like I have had in the DR.

I originally wanted to eat at Carmines for the first get together but was outvoted. Got overpriced, non Dominican food that was just ok instead of great food NYC has to offer.

Now Carmines is served family style and is really reasonably priced great food unlike DRK.

What the hell is the facination with this place?

I will DEFINITELY try to make it this one....a saturday works better for me too as i am usualy pretty beat on a friday after a long week at work. Non Dominican food is fine with me...and somewhere in midtown vs a trek all the way up to dykman works for me as well (as i live in jersey city and dont have a car). BUt im just one person...and no one has ever met me...and i havent showed up in the past....so i guess my opinion doesnt really count LOL.

Well..i will follow the thread and see what you folks decide.

I agree and Carmines would be a good idea IMO. Then we could go out to a club in the city or something. It would be more $$$ but a nice change of pace.

The only thing is that everybody would have to show up at the same time. We would have to make a specific reservation at Carmines and would not be able to hold a table for 4 hours like we do at DRK. This could be a problem.


edited to add: actually, I think Carmines might not be the best idea for the reason I stated above. Why dont we find a nice place down in the Village with good food and music where we can get a table for the evening? Bugsy, you are the Manhattanite, find a nice place for us.

Larry...i am liking your thinking more and more! The problem with Carmines on a saturday night will be the theatre crowd. Sure we could book for after 8pm....but out of towners would have to contend with times sq parking (not an easy task on a busy saturday night).

I work in Tribecca...and i schlep thru the village most evenings to take the 9th street path train home...there are many decent not to $$$ places in the village that could accomodate us i would think. DAYOO is a decent (a little pricey...but not too bad) carribean joint on greenwich ave between 7th & 8th. They are never jammed packed....so they might be able to accomodate....i will walk by next saturday night and see how busy they are.

Carmines would be way cheaper than DRK and good food to boot. You sit till you are finished and they don't rush you. I always feel like I can sit there all night just to look at the beautiful women constantly walking by me at the table.

Meet one hour early at the bar and have a few drinks.
