That’s O.K _::sniff::_. I’ll just sit here in my lonely old borough all by myself. No, no, don’t worry about me _::sniff::_. I’ll be fine, just fine. You all go and have a good time. _:😭:_. If I can get either Pain or Heartache to come into Manhattan, I’ll be there. I may be there without them, but it wouldn’t be a good thing. ---

I thought Paul’s sounded interesting, with John’s second. I haven’t been to either, tho. Manhattan over Brooklyn. I will be taking the LIRR into Penn. \*\* TP \*\* is 2 blocks from Penn. Sorry BG. ---

Paul’s becomes a little difficult to work with if there are more than 8 people… biggirl, I hope you can come! 🙂 ---

Mmmm. Carmine’s is fun and yummy too! I’d be all for a weekend thing in Brooklyn, but a weeknight thing is hard for me to manage. Midtown is really convenient for me, but anywhere in Manhattan will do. That Flight 451 place was good. ---

The Carmine’s on the upper West side is both overpriced and highly, highly overrated. I would not suggest it. ---

I’ll put my vote in for John’s followed by Paul’s. Though, anything would really work. **Biggirl** , why don’t we all try to arrange a Saturday thing in Brooklyn some time? Manhattan _is_ easier for me during the week (as **lurker** pointed out), but I do want to try to make it to Brooklyn some time… ---

The latest news is: I’ll won’t be able to be in NYC on Thursday. Instead, I’ll be arriving on Friday, Nov. 9th. Enjoy the pizza and have a beer for me. Now, if we wanted to do a Brooklyn thing Saturday November 10th, I’m all about that. ---

So, any more ideas for Thursday night or are we going to do John’s? **tevya** , Saturday in Brooklyn might work for me. I have to check to see what’s going on here this weekend, but if we can do a small get together, I’ll see what I can do about being there. ---

How 'bout [John’s Pizzeria](http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7116744) in the Village? ---

Is that the place you guys went to the weekend I had my sister’s wedding (around the begining of October?) I’d be up for that. Actually, I’m up for any resonably priced place where I can get lots of alcohol and good food, with plenty of room to talk to Dopers I haven’t seen in awhile. Nah, I don’t have many qualifications! 😉 ---

TP - it’s actually the _other_ John’s Pizzeria. It’s much much smaller, but it’s in the village. ---

TP, Think there’s one in the Village, and one in the Theater district. They went to the latter, I think. ---

Oh. Ok. Shows what a newbie New Yorker I am. :eek: Either would be fine with me. And what time are we gonna start this? Around 6:30 or 7? If it’s a little later, I can always take **lurker** out to do some “Ooh! Honey!” shopping. 😃 ---

John’s in the Village (the original John’s) is indeed smaller than its Midtown counterpart. So, I called them and asked if they could accommodate a group of 12-15 people this Thursday, sevenish. No problem. What say youse guys? ---
