My vacation is coming up real soon, and I, my brother **Dan Turk** , and our friend **Second Star to the Right** are gonna be in the City 08/13 evening - 08/19 noonish. I’ve been a couple times, as has **SSttR** , but the brother hasn’t. Anyone care to meet? Show us around for a little bit? We don’t really have any firm plans, and I’d like meet some of the NY Dopers. Hope to see some of y’all later. ---

I’m up for hanging out (I live in NJ), but I have a few questions before the “where we are going to hang out” planning stage begins. 1. Can you legally drink adult beverages in a bar? 2. Do you actually want to? 3. NYC has pretty much any kind of food you could possibly want, and many others you wouldn’t- what kinda food do you fancy, and do you have any dietary restrictions? 4. Hi Opal. 5. Being from Florida, I’m sure you would appreciate a tour of the alligator infested underground tunnels. ---

I probably should have expanded on this a little bit in my OP. We are 21? (sorry **SSttR** , I can’t remember, but I know you’re legal), 23, and 25. We’re good with walking, dining, drinking, museums, pretty much anything. I’ve been a couple times, and I’m extremely comfortable with the transit, both the train and the buses. Dietary restrictions: One of us can’t eat almonds or almond-derived items. Food preferences? Anything. I particularly love Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Italian and so does my brother. We’re staying in Gramercy, on E 24th near the 6, so getting to and from pretty much anywhere shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Entertainment stuff: Anything, really. Dinner? Walking tours? Bar-hopping? Whatever. I’m really flexible. ---

I’m 36. Am I too much of an old fart to hang with you guys? ---

**x-ray** , just FYI my idea of an evening out is going to my brother’s restaurant and doing a crossword over dinner, so no, I wouldn’t think you are too old for my wild and crazy ways. ---

Workin hard these days, should let up in a month or so. I dont drink or smoke, not much fun here. But I would participate in the cross word puzzle and the eating parts. Have fun and be safe, guys
