Friday, December 26 NYC meetup

Fri December 26 at 5:30 PM, 4th Avenue Pub
76 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, USA (Map & Directions)
edit: Friday, December 26 at the 4th Ave Pub it is then! See you all there! Original: NY Mefites! I'll be in New York from Christmas Day till New Year and I'd like to meet any and all of you. My schedule is open so far* and a date between 26-30 would probably work best. I'll be staying in Brooklyn (near DeKalb Ave) though venturing outside the borough is fine too if most people prefer that. Shall we have the last meetup of 2014?
*I will have to double check the final date with my extremely generous host, who is prone to surprise bookings, but accommodating. edit: checked!

You'll be in my nabes so you at least have this mefite's vote if you decide to keep the meetup close to home base(not biased at all)!

But jokes aside throw me in the maybe pile. I'm actually pretty flexible with location myself, it'd be more of a timing thing.

Also my stomping ground and agree with the unbiased view above. Furthermore, I believe last year's last meet up of the year was in Ft. Greene, so you know, tradition.

I hereby cast a vote for Brooklyn! Hope you enjoy your stay.

I'm coming back the 26th, but after that I should be able to make it.

Ugh, Brooklyn.

I'll see if I can manage a trip up that coincides with all this. No promises, however.

So, Brooklyn it is! I was thinking either Friday night drinks (26th) or Saturday brunch (27th). Any preferences?

won't be around for the holidays. Have fun!

Yeah Friday drinks would be sweet. I can start pretty early since I will get out of work at 5 or possibly 3!

Friday drinks it is then! Any recommendations for the venue?

DAMMIT I only found out about this just now - you're in my neighborhood, but I'm at the family compound until about noon on the 27th.

My suggestions tend more toward the Park Slope/Gowanus area. They include 4th Avenue Pub, Mission Dolores, Pacific Standard, and Owl Farm. (Owl Farm is the best but probably less convenient? But right off the F/G/R trains.) Maybe someone else can weigh in with more Fort Greene-ish ideas but that's my two--four?--cents.

Any thoughts on this?

Greenwood Park is a fine place but it's kind of a pain, location-wise.
posted by wintrymix at 1:00 PM on December 14, 2014


And it has the benefit of sort of being the (or at least a) quintessential Brooklyn meet up spot.
posted by wintrymix at 3:31 PM on December 14, 2014


Free popcorn is a surprisingly convincing argument. 4th Ave pub it is then! My +1 will be attending as well - can't wait to meet you all!

Shame you can't make it Empress; it would be nice to see you again!

Me?! You!

Hm... I don't work that day so would generally just be staying at home on the other side of the Hudson (and the East...), but maybe I'll venture out to Brooklyn to hang with MeFites.
posted by naturalog at 7:36 PM on December 17, 2014


Hanging with Mefites is better than sitting at home!

Ugh, I am visiting NYC the NEXT DAY. I'll see if I can maybe switch things around. ♥

I'm in! Looking forward. Will probably run late but if history's any indication... this shouldn't be a problem.

Hi from Brooklyn and see all of you tomorrow!

Yay, glad you made it into town and looking forward to tomorrow, ersatz! Been a while since we had a sizable meetup.

booo instead of a glorious meetup, I will be going bridesmaid dress shopping.

Enjoy!

Grabbing a bite, so we might be 20 mins late. Since I forgot my pin, look for the guy in a green jumper with a paisley scarf and the girl with the massive sparkling gray scarf. See you there!

I'm already here!

On my way!

Are people still around? I just came out of a movie at Lincoln center.
posted by brujita at 5:04 PM on December 26, 2014


Ahhh, brujita, I just got on the train home and others are on their way home I think :(
posted by yaymukund at 9:21 PM on December 26, 2014


I was hanging out the table in the back for a bit.....
posted by brujita at 9:42 PM on December 26, 2014


Lovely meetup, thanks from both of us!
posted by ersatz at 8:11 AM on December 27, 2014


brujita: I was in the front table and a bit *hic* drunk so we didn't bump into one another :(

I had a lovely time!

And I love the photos, 1970s Antihero :D

Yeah major headache. Ouch. But great to see everyone, and nice pics, 1970s Antihero.
