NYC Mefi Kintters - THIRD Sunday of September, LOCATION changed again

posted September 7, 2018 8:48 AM | |

Sun September 16 at 11:00 AM, Coffeed

590 6th Ave, New York, NY, USA (Map & Directions)

It works for me, but I think City Bakery will still be closed on Sundays.

We discovered that it closes on Sundays during "the summer", but they were a bit vague about when "the summer" begins and ends. I was thinking that the shift to the 16th would increase the odds of "summer" being "over" in their eyes.

I can call to check. We can always relocate to the backup spot we did last month as well; either way I think the 16th is the safer date.

Works for me.

For the record: backup location is Coffeed on 6th between 16th and 17th.

I would be able to attend on that date.

I am going to tentatively set it at City Bakery for now just to confirm the date, but will update it by Wednesday if City Bakery is closed this coming Sunday.

I'm a firm maybe, depends on how the weekend goes and how guilty I feel about dumping the kids on the spouse.

guys - I have just become the proud mama of a head cold. I may not make it. Y'all wanna go ahead without me?

I will be there if someone else confirms.

By commenting, that is.

Hi guys - I'm definitely out. And City Bakery is still giving conflicting info about whether or not they are open. Wanna just cancel?
posted by EmpressCallipygos at 7:48 AM on September 15, 2018

I'm up for it, but I do think that City Bakery will be closed.

I'd be in for n hour or so tomorrow. Wnt to just go to Coffeed instead?

EmpressCalipygos, I hope you feel much better soon!

I will change the place on this entry to Coffeed, but then will return to my sickbed.

I'll be there. Heads up that the D and F trains are goofy this weekend and there's no service on that part of 6th Ave.

EmpressCallipygos, thank you for updating this even though you're sick. Take care and I hope you feel better soon!

On my way, will be there slightly after 11!

I am here. Orange T shirt again. It's busier--I'll be at the big central table in all likelihood.

I should be there around 11:30, but I don't know. It has been saying there's a 34 minute delay for over 10 minutes now, so it is possible that time has completely stopped here while continuing to move outside the station.

That central table sucks. I'm to the left of the door if you don't know what I look like. (I stink at knowing which person goes to what username. Or name, to be honest.)

I've been knitting at home in solidarity!

(You really didn't want me to show up today, I got about 4 hours of sleep last night and every so often when I cough it sounds like I'm the tragic heroine of some 1930s movie of a poor woman with tuberculosis or something)
