Street parking is difficult to find. I will look for a few minutes, and if I don't find anything I'll go to a garage. Expensive, but I just don't like dealing with the subway. Not a safety issue, just a preference for me.SMOKOZUNA said:
in re parking ...
This is the middle of Little Italy aka Chinatown. Yes, there is street parking available. Much of it is metered (bring your quarters). Towards the weekends street parkign moves from challenging to impossible with the bridge & tunnel crowd coming to town. (Oh yea - you guys ARE the bridge & tunnel crowd.)
I'll ask about preferred garages/lots - I know there are a couple in the area - but as a pedestrian - rarely care. There are two I know of Court/Grand and Bway/Grand. There's another on Court/Kenmare - I think that one's th ebest but will find out.
I also make sure to have some veal shanks set aside for us. Hmmmmmm veal.
(Hey Kev - how was the dessert - did it make it all the way - intact?)

Chatted it up with with Larry and he said you can try street parking but expect to be disappointed. Try it ... and when you give up ... go to the lot on Kenmare and Mulberry ... one block north of Grand.
It's $15 for the night ... but price is for cars ... Armored Personnel Carriers like Kevin's might be extra.
And lemme know if you want osso bucco or braseole ... we'll make sure some is stashed aside.

We can meet 6pm if y'all are still interested.
Street parking will be non-existent in NYC for this week probably but the lots will be cleared out.
And on the way into work today, I can say the main streets are fine ... broadway, 1st ave, 2nd ave, 14st
If I can get a head count by tomorrow morning I'll reserve the table.
Here's the confirmed list:
1) Geoffrie
2) Tubaman
3) Stevenmor
4) Smokozuna
5) SBP

Sorry to miss you Tubaman ... Giovanni says hello
Ok ... now here's some dirty gossip ... y'all had to see Dean over at Ferrara's pastry counter ... it was watching a stoned college kid in the cookie aisle of a supermarket. But the folks at Ferrera's were very nice ... they offer free shots of insulin with purchases of $20 or more
