I’m speaking (privately) in NYC Thursday, and arrive Wednesday evening (staying on 54th St.). If NYC folks are interested in meeting up at say 8pm, can anyone suggest a good location, perhaps flexible re the number who show?
Added 10June: OK, the plan is to meet at Connolly’s (43 W. 54th St. 212-489-0271) from 8pm on. I presume we’ll hang out at the bar at first.
Added 12June: The meetup last night was lots of fun -thanks to all (~15) who came.

I would be interested in meeting up, but I’m drawing a blank for locations. Starbucks seemed to work last time but I think we got lucky. Are you looking for something in Mid-town?
Starbucks works well if you know exactly which one. Otherwise, I’d suggest a pub. (I’m vaguely remembering one on 7th Avenue–Connolly’s?–that I’ve used before when people were going to be arriving over a period of time.)
If you’re staying at the Hilton on 6th–my general assumption when someone says “54th Street”–either Connolly’s or Heartland Brewery would be a place to meet. (the latter is probably not a place to stay, though.)
Ken, are you talking about Connolly’s at 44 W 54th St, 212-489-0271, and not the Connolly’s at 121 W 45th St, 212-597-5126, at 14 E. 47th St, 212-867-3767, or at 150 E. 47th St., 212-692-9342? Unless there is another suggestion, I’m happy to follow your suggestion.
How about we just choose a place – Connolly’s at 43 West 54th Street (between 5th and 6th avenues) (212)489-0271. Their website is as follows: http://www.connollyspubandrestaurant.com/
Connolly’s on 54th sounds like an acceptable location and the company should be excellent. I look forward to meeting up on Wednesday night.
Hoping to make it, but dealing with insurance after last night’s storm. (I now know what “uprooted” really means.)
