NY LSTers!

[Fala]

Heyhey everybody!

Yoni Zilber has art in a show in Bushwick, the opening is tomorrow night. Here are the details: The Active Space, 566 Johnson Avenue, Bushwick. Opening is at 7pm.

I know there are a couple of folks on LST who have work from him, figured I'd spread the word.

I wanna gooooo T_T

[Pugilist]

DUDES. The mister and I will be in NYC next month. Tell me we'll finally get to meet some of you nerds, or at least that we can meet your cats. Paging @Fala @ironchef @gougetheeyes etc.

[Fala]

Squeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! Depending on how many people want to come, we might be able to host a shindig here in Brooklyn. Although, I know a lot of folks won't be able to make it this way so I'll defer to everyone else's suggestions. Can't wait!!!!!!

[gougetheeyes]

Nice! Dates?

[Pugilist]

The weekend of Nov 21-24. I am thinking the Sunday would probably be the easiest for us, but we're open for whatever at the moment! We'll probably be staying in Brooklyn, but we're happy to meet up anywhere a subway can take us.

[ironchef]

That works for me and Sunday is a good day. I'm down with meeting up wherever.

[SeeSea]

I'm down NJ way, but it could be doable. Would be cool to meet folks!

[Fala]

What's on the docket for the get-together?

[Pugilist]

Good question! The Sunday evening (Nov 23) still works for us if it works for the rest of you! We will be in Park Slope, but happy to meet up wherever is accessible for the most people. We're open, so maybe a local can suggest and place/time/secret password or something? :)

[ironchef]

Just let me know the place/time and I'll try to make it. Hopefully I'll be healed up by then.

[JoshRoss]

Sorry to hijack, but I'll be in town this weekend. I'm gonna catch some of the comedy festival, but are there other things happening in the area? Also down to grab a drink if anyone's free!

[Pugilist]

PS - Do any of you have suggestions for good places to eat/drink post-tattoo session at Adorned? Requirements include good cocktails and/or beer and food that will soak up the tears.

[Fala]

Hahaha @Pugilist! I usually head home and eat/drink after being at Adorned, and am totally out of the restaurant loop right now, but... Soba-ya is close, it's one of my husband's favorites and we always go there if we are nearby.

@JoshRoss - I have to head upstate this weekend, otherwise would love to grab a drink with a fellow LSTer.

[ironchef]

@JoshRoss Ah, busy weekend for me bro, otherwise would love to meet up and see your Horimitsu piece! Have a good time in NYC!

@Pugilist @Fala I LOVE Soba-ya! It's good stuff. There's also Mighty Quinn's if you want some BBQ. Mermaid Inn for seafood. Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken. Just TONS of places on 2nd Ave and side streets with about almost anything you would want to eat and drink! There's also good yakitori places on St. Marks but those places are very tight quarters and get crowded quickly.

My most favorite place would be Village Yokocho on 9th Street on the 2nd Floor. A mix of Japanese yaki and Korean foods and bonus...there's a hidden-speak easy behind a second door called Angel's Share where the cocktails are pretty amazing!

Dear lord I love New York.

[Graeme]

So who is going to say where we're going to meet up in two weeks? Because if nobody suggests anything, I'm going to make a suggestion based upon consideration of yelp reviews, proximity to Times Square, and possibly most authentic Irish experience not because I don't know any better, but because I can be a prick. Let's meet up, it will be fun.

[Pugilist]

This place looks like it might just fit the bill? Guy

[Fala]

Hahahahahahahaha @Pugilist!

I'm looking for places near you in Park Slope, and in Manhattan as well, today. Will post a short-list as soon as it is done!

- - - Updated - - -

If ya'll want pizza, Guiseppina's in Brooklyn is fantastic - it's on 6th Ave between 20/21st Sts - South Slope. It's a hike, and I wouldn't expect that those coming from NJ would want to make the hike to it...

Barn Joo (Flatiron) looks good. And, it is in a fairly convenient location for everyone.

[Pugilist]

Good point that if folks want to come in from New Jersey then Manhattan is probably best. Barn Joo looks amazing!! Do people want to do dinner or just drinks?

[Fala]

What time are we meeting? If it is earlier, we could do drinks and appetizers, then part or stay to eat dinner as we wish. If is later, I vote for dinner.

[Pugilist]

We are free whenever. Busy with friends til the early afternoon, but our evening is totally open. What works for you busy New Yorkers?

[Fala]

We are totally open to whatever everyone else wants to do. Cannot wait to meet you in person!!!

This site has a lot of info on places to eat in the city.
