Sat January 10 at 11:30 AM, Mighty Quinn's
75 Greenwich Avenue, New York, NY, USA (Map & Directions)
Hey! I'm mid-move between Jersey City and Philadelphia, and this weekend I'll be in the area grabbin' some stuff. Let's maybe do a thing?
I'll be in town starting late Friday night — 7–9, most likely — and then I have to return early Saturday evening to attend a show. Drinks Friday? Brunch Saturday? Either/or/and? I'm open to whatever, let's do this!

You know I'm a big fan of places that take place in between a ten block radius of west 72nd street.

I'd love to see you, but I have plans for Friday. Saturday works for me or if you're painting the town red, I could join something very late on Friday.

Metafilter Brunch sounds dangerous and delicious.

I vote brunch over drinks, always. I don't know any Whelk-adjacent locations to suggest, but, we haven't had a meetup at Pies-N-Thighs in years, I see they've opened a lower Manhattan location now too.

I love Pies n Thighs but don't think the Manhattan location is open yet. I am probably free whenever.

ifdsss9, YAY!

Anybody opposed to brunch versus drinks? Show of hands.

Another brunch vote. I'm partial to areas where no other mefite lives, so I'll defer to your judgements.

Brunch might requires reservations but Mighty Quinn BBQ in the west village has a big big space in the former Bone Lick Park space.

Is everybody good with BBQ? I'm thinking it sounds pretty wonderful myself.
posted by rorgy at 1:09 PM on January 4, 2015


Mighty Quinn's is the best! I will upgrade myself to a yes!
posted by ferret branca at 1:15 PM on January 4, 2015


When I get home I'll see what kind of reservation I can get for Saturday brunch.
posted by The Whelk at 3:18 PM on January 5, 2015


Updated the post with the location, and 10:30 as a prospective time. Lemme know if earlier or later makes sense to all y'all.
posted by rorgy at 5:00 AM on January 6, 2015


Realistically, I can't see myself getting there before 11am, but if you want to have it at 10:30, I'll deal.
posted by unannihilated at 10:01 AM on January 6, 2015


they don't even open til 11:30!
posted by The Whelk at 10:27 AM on January 6, 2015


(Since we don't have a hard number of people yet I'm avoiding calling in a reservation til we do - or just agree to show up at 11:30 sharp and hope they can accommodate)

Just wanna check, this is definitely for the 17th, not the 10th? Originally I thought it was the 10th but maybe I am hallucinating.
posted by ferret branca at 11:45 AM on January 6, 2015


Also you picked the wrong location, the big room is at the West Village localtion, off Greenwich Ave.
posted by The Whelk at 11:47 AM on January 6, 2015


My bad, all! Updated location and time.

I will go to your BBQ breakfast.

Are BBQd eggs a thing?
posted by overhauser at 12:12 PM on January 7, 2015


I've seen smoked hard boiled eggs and you can put BBQ sauce on eggs cooked the way you like. I have not seen these at the east village MQ.

So Mighty Quinn's does not actually have brunch? This IS just a BBQ breakfast.

Keep brunch forever in your heart

No brunch menu, and nothing to drink but beer. I'm not waking up early and going to that horrible little island for that.
posted by overhauser at 5:49 PM on January 9, 2015


Not even to ride the subway with the tiny crowded cars?
posted by computech_apolloniajames at 7:48 PM on January 9, 2015


Hell, BBQ and beer is all the brunch I need, even if it is on that horrible little island. See (some of?) y'all tomorrow!

I'm not waking up early and going to that horrible little island for that.

As a Phillyite who moved out thisaways for two years before — blessedly! — returning, I empathize with this completely. Manhattan is a terrible place filled with deluded (albeit wonderful) people. Poor people.

Hope it's not too late to decide to come!
posted by SpaceWarp13 at 5:42 AM on January 10, 2015


Waiting for the PATH train to leave the station still, looks like I will be there closer to 11:45 than 11:30 but I will be there.
posted by oh yeah! at 8:12 AM on January 10, 2015


Train trouble. Will be there but will be late. ETA 11:45 at earliest.

in traffic on my way
posted by The Whelk at 8:32 AM on January 10, 2015


We're here, only ones in the place. At the really big table in the middle.
posted by Hactar at 8:35 AM on January 10, 2015


Hi all —

I'm sorry to be writing this so late but something's come up and I'm presently rushing back to Philadelphia as quickly as I know how. Again, I'm sorry for the über-belated notice.

Uuuh -so I will be there apparently if that helps.
posted by The Whelk at 8:43 AM on January 10, 2015


Sorry to hear that, rorgy. We miss you!
posted by ferret branca at 9:36 AM on January 10, 2015


That was fun, now we're at Johnny's Bar
posted by The Whelk at 10:33 AM on January 10, 2015


Hey everyone, sorry I was so cranky about the no-coffee thing. Uncalled for. Did manage to catch the trailers of the johny's bar drinkathon. After breakfast.
posted by overhauser at 2:44 PM on January 10, 2015


Also, hope your emergency turned out OK, rorgy. Everyone talked about missing you.
