Sun June 15 at 2:00 PM, Zombie Hut
273 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY, USA (Map & Directions)
I'm visiting NYC next weekend and would like to finally meet all you lovely folks. Is anyone up for a meetup in the afternoon/early evening of June 15th? Maybe somewhere outdoors- or patio-y to take advantage of the nice weather? I'm staying in Chelsea but am happy to travel wherever on the subway/transit system. Open to suggestions for time/venue! Zombie Hut at 2 PM on June 15th it is! Join us!
Some of us will be in Brooklyn Bridge Park by afternoon/early evening of June 15th, after walking across the bridge. If the bridge walk is too early for you, you could take the subway to Brooklyn and just do the Smorgasburg & park hang-out. Or maybe someone can suggest another location near the park so any walkers with the time & budget could join the Phire meetup?

Sounds nice!
There is always Zombie Hut which is not too far from Brooklyn Bridge Park and has a patio and tiki drinks on fire. Tons of other bars as well, I'm sure people will weigh in.

Craaaaaaap. My day is full on with kid stuff, birthday parties and so on. Might see if I can hand off the party stuff to husband and head to the meetup for a bit.

I'm going to be wildly radical and suggest a trip to the Chelsea Market? Anyway, I'm in.

Zombie Hut and Chelsea Market both sound like excellent options. Any other locals care to weigh in?
How does 2 PM-ish work for people?

Wait. Wait, wait, wait. I just noticed a strange incongruity of the location and the guest list.
Sorry, Phire, but the focus of this meetup has changed from "Meet Phire" to "See The Whelk in Brooklyn."

Oh my god those clip-on koalas are amazing. Think of how much I could harass my cat by sticking them on her...!

I KNEW IT.
"Work-related," sure.
I will also be sad if clip-on koalas don't make an appearance. :-(

That was a lot of fun - thanks to everyone who came out! It was great meeting everyone. The Zombie Hut was a great venue as well.
