Re: *** NYC PP Meetup - 4/17/16 1 pm @ 181 Cabrini ***
Barrett cannot make it Friday. He said maybe brunch Saturday but I will not make it.
We can continue with Friday uptown or another date. Maybe AdamA can suggest a date.
So, do we continue with Friday uptown?

To be clear, I could actually do Friday but have to be down on 125th Street by 4:30PM. My earlier availability is probably not good for the people still in the work force full-time (though Sophie may need a break from the ineptness that she sometimes posts about on here!).bedraggled wrote: Barrett cannot make it Friday.

I could also make it later in the day on Sunday the 17th but don't want to mess up others' plans. AdamA, when are you back in NYC?

Barrett,
Thanks.
I am OK with Sunday, 4/17. Meet time: from 1PM to 2PM. AdamA may not make it Sunday, either.
Sophie and Goodasgold, is Sunday OK with you two?
That place off of Ft. Washington Av (@ 187th Street) was nice and not crowded. I could easily skip Dallas BBQ.
All thoughts are welcome. We also could postpone until early May but this Sunday does work for me.

Yes, Sunday, April 17 is fine with me.
Re: *** NYC PP Meetup - 4/17/16 1 pm @ 181 Cabrini ***
Sunday is fine with me too, and we can branch out further as regards location. Near the hospital tends to be overpriced and cruddy, because they've got that captive audience. Goodasgold you've traveled farthest, would you like to suggest a place convenient for you?
Otherwise can I suggest 181 Cabrini - really relaxed, nice neighborhood dive with Sunday brunch. It's at the southwest corner of 181st and Cabrini Blvd.

I am not especially familiar with Washington Heights/Inwood, so I can't offer a suggestion. But 181 Cabrini sounds great to me.sophie wrote: Goodasgold you've traveled farthest, would you like to suggest a place convenient for you?

I meant, if you'd rather be in another part of town. Uptown is most convenient for some of us, but maybe not all. Not that I'm just SO anxious to jump on the subway on Sunday morning and spend an hour stuck in a tunnel somewhere, which seems to be the new normal....

Now that the PP is giving a stellar performance this year (at least so far!), I am in a mood to celebrate with other PP investors. The location is irrelevant.
Re: *** NYC PP Meetup - 4/17/16 1 pm @ 181 Cabrini ***
OK, so it sounds like we have a meeting time & place?
1pm Sunday, April 17
181 Cabrini (SW corner 181st street and Cabrini Blvd, just north of GWB)

I will be there.
The restaurant for our big meet last year served beer and Margaritas. Does this place on Cabrini @ 181 offer similar fare?

How was the meet-up?
I was a bit envious, imagining the excellent food in NY, which I still miss.

Well, it wasn't quite up to the standard of places like the one in the East Village that sells deep fried Twinkies, but I must say the cuban sandwich was great.
We did miss Reub and also wondered what would happen if Mathjak were to show up.

I may have to plan a trip to NYC just to meet up with everyone there. It sounds like fun.

A fun time was had by all as we resolved the world's remaining financial issues. The solution to every potential problem is: adopt the PP.
And as usual, we directed the waiter to send the food bill to Craig and the booze bill to Medium Tex (and don't forget the 20% tip, guys!)

Tyler,
Give us several dates. If you are coming, we'll make the arrangements, and sooner than later.
For such an esteemed visitor…!!!
Early May sounds good.
Be advised, we uptown folks are not sure the world exists below West 110th Street, Manhattan. Goodasgold has suggested it does.

I was actually in the city that day, but shooting an interview for a documentary I'm making. Would have been nice to say hi again, particularly now that the PP is doing well and not lagging like last year. I said last time I was sticking with the 4x25 and I'm happy with the results of staying consistent so far!

Tom,
Suggest a couple of days. Sundays are better. There is a core who like to meet.
Was great to meet you last year.
Cheers.

Thanks bedraggled - likewise. Unfortunately I live in CT and commute to NYC every day for work and life is just a little to hectic these days to be able to prioritize a meetup. I keep my eye on the board and if one ever pops up on it's own that works out I'll make an appearance for sure.

Tom,
We have met weekdays. Grand Central would make Goodasgold ecstatic (I think).
Let me know. I CAN travel south of 110th Street. We will see who else can make it.
After 5/2/16 works.
Teacher vacation has arrived! There is a God!
Excelsior!

All in favor of another NYC meet up, please state your interest!
The "Core Four:" Sophie, Goodasgold, Barrett and Bedraggled know where to find the uptown places. And I didn't try the Mimosa at "Next Door" on West 187th Street. Kismet, the Indian restaurant, around the corner, has been around for 30+ years but they have jacked up their prices relative to others. I think they introduced a lunch buffet. Might be good.
181Cabrini was OK, too. Consider Strokos for the pizza and Diet Coke fans.
BTW, this won't be on 4/17/16. Can someone fix the heading?
