October 6 in Manhattan at Pongal

posted September 27, 2019 11:30 AM | |

Sun October 6 at 6:30 PM, Pongal

110 Lexington Ave, New York, NY, USA (Map & Directions)

I should be around! My #1 favorite suggestion to Mefites is Bodhi Kosher Vegetarian, which is vegetarian dim sum, so I will suggest it here! As for drinks, do you have any preferences on type of drink/fanciness of venue?

Oh boo! I’m out of town that weekend! I’m sorry to miss you!

I'm free in the afternoon and early evening, but I need to have an early night that night. So it depends on the time.

I am not fancy! I like beer and low-key cocktails and coffee. Early evening is definitely more what I was thinking.

Ocherdraco! I'm so sad to miss you!!

Aw, I won't be available that day, but definitely have fun!

I will have to negotiate my partner taking over piano lesson observation and skipping his soccer sesh, but I will totally attempt to do so!

Arranged, so I’m switching to a yes. Yay!

Yay! I'm still waiting for confirmation from the lab, and as soon as I do I'll clarify some details here!

Also, if you two are both in Brooklyn, I'm happy to head to Brooklyn instead!

Whatever is easiest for you!

I can probably do this if it's Manhattan (and I'll second the vote for Bodhi - or another good vegetarian option is Pongal)

I guess I'd prefer Manhattan if this is going to be more of an early evening than a late afternoon thing, but I'm fine with either borough.

Ok! Manhattan it is! I'd like to go to Pongal, I think! Is 5ish good?

Pongal is yummy, I was there just a couple weeks ago. But I won't be able to join you quite that early, probably six-thirty at the earliest.

6:30 at Pongal then? I don’t think I could do later. Could get drinks in the afternoon though or also? I might drop by Amor y Amargo on E 6th before dinner since I love that place.

6:30 sounds great! I'll call it!

I just found out I have to work today - will still try to make it, but I need to stay a "maybe" for now.

There is a chance my partner can join (non-mefite, friends with many mefites); I will update once I find out!

No partner but still me

Not going to make it, sorry.
