Hi Mefi! I will be in New York at the beginning of June, staying in Chelsea, anyone fancy a meetup after work/early evening Monday 9th June? I have literally no idea for venues so suggestions are very welcome!

I'd come! Did you want to go somewhere close to where you're staying? Or did you have any other venue preferences?

Close to where I'm staying would be great!

State some preferences! Saying "somewhere to meet" in NYC is like saying "buy me some food" from a supermarket. I'm not joking; within 0.6 mile walk of 23/9 st (center of chelsea) there are >700 bars and restaurants.

Food? Drinks? Type of food/Drinks you like/don't like? Price? Swanky/Casual?

Drinks, not too expensive (I live in Paris so the price ranges shouldn't be too different), casual.

The Trailer Park Lounge is on 23rd between 7th and 8th and serves sloppy joes and tater tots.

Looks fun!

I was just about to say Trailer Park cause it's in Chelsea in the middle of kind of a dead zone.

Sounds like fun!

Also they have Tater Tots and champange in a can.

You want to serve someone who lives in Paris, champagne in a can?! Philistine! :D

It's real fake Americana, the best kind!

This is me plus my friend who is coming too so you guys can find us on Monday.

Could we aim for earlier than 8pm at Trailer Park, or do you have plans for beforehand? (I get out of work at 6pm nearby, so just wondering if I need to plan on killing time that evening)

Earlier than 8pm would be nice.
posted by zarq at 9:06 AM on June 6, 2014


How about a bite to eat before? We could go to Chelsea Market.
posted by SpaceWarp13 at 4:09 PM on June 7, 2014


I'd totally be up for that.
posted by zarq at 4:42 PM on June 7, 2014


But didn't we choose Trailer Park because it has food? I'd rather just get there earlier than go to Chelsea Market for food and Trailer Park just for the champagne-in-a-can. (Though I do think we need to do a Chelsea Market meetup at some point, I'd never heard of it before the recent IRL mentions and it does sound interesting)

ugh
posted by SpaceWarp13 at 6:06 AM on June 8, 2014


I would show earlier than 8pm as well.

ugh

:-( sorry! It's just with Monday being a workday and maybe rainy, I know I'm not going to want to do a lot of exploring.
posted by oh yeah! at 3:27 PM on June 8, 2014


will change it to 7pm
posted by ellieBOA at 9:25 PM on June 8, 2014


I hate cancelling at the last minute. I'm really, really sorry about this. My son broke a finger yesterday afternoon (he'll be okay) and we just booked him an appt with a specialist out on Long Island this evening. Am going to need to leave work early and race out there to take him. :(

No worries, see everyone else later on.
posted by ellieBOA at 1:47 PM on June 9, 2014


I may be ten minutes late because of connecting train issues!
posted by The Whelk at 3:09 PM on June 9, 2014


I'm at Trailer Park now - not super-crowded, but I don't see many empty tables together, so we may need to hover at the bar for a bit.
posted by oh yeah! at 3:51 PM on June 9, 2014


Scratch that, got a booth 4-seater at the far end of the bar, with room for expansion.
posted by oh yeah! at 3:54 PM on June 9, 2014


Ok me and my friend are at the bar!
posted by ellieBOA at 4:10 PM on June 9, 2014


half a block away
posted by The Whelk at 4:18 PM on June 9, 2014


Looks like I won't make it until 8 after all. On the way.
