Sun January 25 at 1:00 PM, Dumpling Galaxy
42-35 Main Street, Flushing, NY, USA (Map & Directions)
I would like to celebrate my birthday with much food. Anybody up for a trip to Dumpling Galaxy? (previously). Moving this to Sunday 1/25 instead of the 24th, due to the winter storm advisory in effect that day.
If I can come, later side is better so sounds good to me!

I'm ok with Saturday the 24th if that's better for people (I figure it's only going to be a handful of us no matter what since it's in Queens).

I can only do it on the 24th if it starts no later than 1pm because I need to be back in Brooklyn by a certain time. But if that doesn't work for people, don't let my absence stop you. :-)
I can do any time on the 25th.

Yeah, starting earlier would be better for me on 24th as well.

Ok, unless anyone else wants to cast a vote, I'll call it for 1pm Saturday the 24th (which will leave the 25th as a fallback in case we have another crazy ice storm).

Going to be in Boston. Happy Birthday (to both of you), wish I could be there.

I am going to attempt to get my +1 to venture forth for this. He's generally resistant to the trek to Queens for some reason.
And the 7 train is not really happening that weekend, is it?

sciencegeek, looks like 7 isn't running between 42nd St and Queensboro Plaza. Can transfer from N/Q at Queensboro Plaza to a Flushing-bound 7 (which will run a little express at least).

Well, looks like we're due for some amount of snow/rain on Saturday after all. Should we just wait and see how it looks that morning, or would it be better to switch it to Sunday now?

I can't make it due to volunteering duties happening right at 1, but I still wanted to wish you a happy birthday!

oh yeah!, will you update with a verdict tonight? I would come either way, just want to plan around it.

Have to bow out for tomorrow since I thought maybe this would be cancelled and needed a weekend morning for something. I would be up for Sunday if you reschedule. But, again, don't let my presence or absence influence you. :-)

Sorry, just got home from dinner with family -- ferret branca & sciencegeek, are you ok with me switching this to Sunday @ 1pm?

Doesn't look like we're going to make it.
This means that you guys won't have to hear me sing Happy Birthday (quietly) off key.
Happy Birthdays!

I'm baffled by the public transportation options to get from Jersey City to Flushing, so, I'm coming in by car, won't be checking the thread for a while. See you guys soon!

I'm on the way and left early, but I forgot how long it takes to get to Flushing! ETA 1:15. Feel free to start the dumpling-y goodness without me! (I'll eat anything.)

For future reference, we got the Taro & Pork Steamed Shumai, Traditional Seafood Steamed Dumpling, Pork & Dill Pan-Fried Dumpling, Chicken Pan-Fried Dumpling, Duck Meat with Mushroom Dumpling, Pork with Pumpkin Dumpling, Crab Meat & Chives Dumpling, and the Pumpkin with Black Sesame Tang Yuan Desert[sic] Dumpling, and the bill came to $64 something plus tip.
That was a great meal, look forward to doing it again sometime.
