I work within walking distance of east 55th....are you thinking more of lunch or dinner?
It would be great to meet people.

cruisinred -- lunch this time, we have dinner obligations that day already.

Monica -- we'll do another GTG in northern California or Shanghai next time!

Sounds great. I'm in for lunch. I look forward to meeting everyone.

I live right near Our Place, and would love to attend. (Though we may be in Lake Placid that week.) Please keep the information coming.

Our Place has some great soup dumplings, terrific slippery chicken and some very good Szechuan dumplings.

Look forward to meeting others.

Can we try the red-cooked pork?? I am salivating already!

zinders Nov 27th, 2007 06:42 AM

Aw. I have to work. Otherwise, we would try to come up from Philly to say hello.

EK -- you may order anything you like and I can't wait to share it in NYC. I had to get a take-out order of red-cooked pork day after Thanksgiving so I didn't have to eat turkey 2 days in a row.

Tengo -- hope you can come.

Bob & Karen -- we'd love to meet you two. We are visiting NJ from CA and on a tight schedule, korean bbq dinner is already arranged with close friends who can't do lunch.

Editor Katie -- can you come?

Shanghainese Nov 29th, 2007 07:53 AM

ggreen, baaj and others?

rhkkmk Nov 29th, 2007 08:13 AM

we'll have to pass this time i guess...timing is not right for us...

Shanghainese Dec 2nd, 2007 03:31 PM

bob and karen -- we'll find the right time and right place (Boston?) next year. So far:

ekscrunchy
cruisinred
Tengo
baaj (maybe on vacation)
Shanghainese
Mr. S

What would be a good time for lunch? We are flexible.

ekscrunchy Dec 3rd, 2007 03:57 AM

What's good for you? I live nearby so can meet at any time that you choose..

tengohambre Dec 3rd, 2007 04:22 AM

Ok, while I likely live closest to Our Place, we won't be able to make Wednesday the 26th. We will be in Lake Placid and returning home that day.

Not to rock the boat but, is there any way to move it to the following day, Thursday the 27th or the 28th?

Thanks
Tengo

Shanghainese Dec 3rd, 2007 08:33 AM

Tengo -- you are not rocking the boat, same as you ggreen can only do 12/27 or 12/28.

EK and cruisinred -- what are your availability on 12/27 or 12/28?

DH and I will try to change our schedule and let you know.

ekscrunchy Dec 3rd, 2007 10:14 AM

S..I am good for either of those dates!

ggreen Dec 3rd, 2007 12:08 PM

Hi Shanghainese, thanks for the tip about this post!

As you mentioned, lunch on the 26th isn't good for me, either. Any time on any following days is fine, though!

Mmm, red cooked pork!! =P~
