I was thinking that it would be nice to have another NYC DopeDinner this upcoming Thursday, October 4 in Midtown Manhattan (obligatory ‘the island, not the moderator’ joke here) at around 6:30 p.m. A fun and reasonably priced place to have it would be [John’s Pizzeria](http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7183400/) at 260 West 44th Street. It would be great if we could get a big bunch of people there this week. Both DopeDinner regulars and new DopeDinner denizens are of course welcome. ---

Damn it, **Billdo** , your timing sucks! The Picnic was when I had to be upstate for my sister’s bridal shower. This one, lurker and I have to get his suit so we can leave nice and early to go up for her wedding. Why couldn’t you have said this one for _last night_! I’d even taken today off! 😃 [sub]But we’ll be with you in spirit![/sub] ---

I’ll go as long as I don’t get kicked out of my apartment again or have to run from any falling buildings. I did so enjoy the one Dope dinner I made it to. The conversation is a ton of fun. So is the drinking. Does John’s pizzeria serve booze? Or should I bring a 40? DaLovin’ Dj ---

Hmmm, sounds good. We’ve got some event going on here that night, which I’m supposedly not involved in at all, so I should be free. I’ll know closer to the day of, though. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dalovindj \* > So is the drinking. Does John’s pizzeria serve booze? Or should I bring a 40? I know from experience that they serve beer, and I’m pretty darn sure that they have a full bar. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t suggest someplace without alcohol. ---

Oy! In my sillyness I usually overlook this board. I am one of those out-of-towners, and I think it would be quite pleasuable to dri … er, meet with fellow Dopers. It would be my first time, though I’ve been lingering on the web site for some 6 months. I’m less than an hour north of the city and have been there planty of times. If somebody gives me a location fix on John’s Pizza mayhaps I’ll be able to make an appearence. ---
