I had another thought regarding our East Coast shindig on October 5th. I think Jose had mentioned if Artie's is closed (because of Rosh Hashana) we could maybe go to Joe Allen's. As much as I like Joe Allen's, I think the possibility of getting a table for a large group such as ours on a Wednesday late afternoon (sometime after 6:30) between matinee and evening performances would be difficult. I just tried sending an e-mail to Artie's asking about their hours during the holidays and it came back as undeliverable. I'll try to call tomorrow. I think if we can't get into Artie's, we should try for the official Upper West Side hang out for HHW, La Concina. They have a large basement room which seems frequently unoccupied and they have vegetarian fare on the menu which is good for some of our celebrants.
Just a thought.
Later, gaters.
I keep meaning to call Artie's too.
However, I'm also thinking that if people do want to freshen up before dinner, we could always end the tour in midtown, and then have a later dinner - start around 7:30 or 8:00 - when it would be easier to book a large table.
But La Cocina is a good choice too. And those 2 for 1 frozen margaritas are poured all night.
*Now I just wish Beard Papa stayed open later. Of course, we could always head down to Magnolia after dinner. Hmm....
