New York in the early autumn
posted August 9, 2016 9:53 AM   RSS | iCal | +googleCal

Thu September 29 at 8:00 PM, Swift's Hibernian
34 E 4th St, New York, NY, USA (Map & Directions)
I will be in New York City for a few days at the end of September. I would be pleased to hoist a glass with local mefites.
I am there from Sunday 25 September to the afternoon of Saturday 1 October -- I suppose the optimum evening is Friday the 30th.

I am open as to venue, but I will be staying on the Upper West Side and am more familiar with Manhattan than the other boroughs.

EDIT: I have provisionally made it for Thursday the 29th Venue is still up in the air, but I have never been to the White Horse and I have to put something. Alternate suggestions?

SUBSEQUENT EDIT: Swift's it is.

Yay, welcome! I'd love to join if the timing works out!

Can't do a Friday night, but would otherwise love to come... especially if it's easily west side accessible!

Well, we are not beholden to Friday. If it turns out everyone can make wednesday or whatever, we will aim for that. My schedule is free and clear at this point.

Thursday nights are no good for me, but I'll keep an eye on this in case you change the date.

I'm not sure I have any suggestions for alternate West Village locations, but White Horse Tavern is cash-only if that matters to anyone. (and a lot of the Yelp reviews are gripes about the service, though I never know how much trust the reviews).

Well, once again: I am a stranger in these parts and happy to accept any alternate suggestions.

I always suggest Swifts Hibernian Lounge and have never gotten any complaints!

Ooh Swifts looks interesting. (The food menu has a corned beef & cabbage taco listed, ha!)
posted by oh yeah! at 6:49 PM on September 15, 2016


I'll be back to working in the city by then, so going from work to a Meet would be totally doable!

Swifts is nice. I hope I can make it and that you enjoy NYC, ricochet biscuit!

It's also within walking distance of my office. If it's kept on that Thursday you'll see me there. Let's see if I can find my "we're here from the Internet" t-shirt.

Yikes, I can't do Thursdays. Have fun though!
posted by holborne at 3:42 PM on September 16, 2016


So my Thursday class is postponed and I am now 75% "Yes" for this. It depends on how many lesson plans I can generate between now and then...

Yay for meetup day. I will probably be there by 7 or earlier, unless I do some major store-browsing on the walk over.
posted by oh yeah! at 8:26 AM on September 29, 2016


There's currently nothing preventing me from being there

Hm. This week's been crazy, but I'd like to come by. Keep me penciled in, but if I don't show up, please don't be surprised.
posted by SansPoint at 9:55 AM on September 29, 2016


welp, I'm sick and I absolutely 100% have to be better by Sunday afternoon so I have to sit this out

I am Unhappy about this

Bummer, griphus. Hope you recover soon.

Jeans, untucked blue button up, army green jacket, side-part. See you soon!

Jeans, tucked blue button up, gray jacket, glasses. Looking for 1adam12.

Jeans, blue raincoat, red shirt, red hair. Waking through Union Square now, be there in 20 minutes or so.
posted by oh yeah! at 3:16 PM on September 29, 2016


Fair warning, all the tables seem to be taken.
posted by SansPoint at 3:20 PM on September 29, 2016


Plaid shirt over Classic Blue T-shirt. In Washington Square so, what, seven or eight minutes?
posted by ricochet biscuit at 3:34 PM on September 29, 2016


We snagged a spot in the back and it looks like a table is about to open up.
posted by SansPoint at 3:38 PM on September 29, 2016


Do update if a table becomes free! I plan to come soon but have knee issues and can't stand for long.
posted by ferret branca at 3:40 PM on September 29, 2016


False alarm on the table for now, but we do have a couple stools. Two.
posted by SansPoint at 3:42 PM on September 29, 2016


Great, thanks!
posted by ferret branca at 3:44 PM on September 29, 2016


UPDATE: WE HAVE A TABLE!

We are at the back on the left. Five of us currently.
posted by ricochet biscuit at 4:19 PM on September 29, 2016


Hah you mugs are early! Coming in.
posted by 1adam12 at 4:44 PM on September 29, 2016


Just outside. Goth Casual.
posted by Smart Dalek at 4:45 PM on September 29, 2016


Any latecomers, we've commandeered the back right table where there's more room.
