NYC this Sunday afternoon

HOLY CARP!!!
I'll be coming back from taking Nineteen back to school, flying out of Laguardia around 5pm Sunday. My schedule is still pretty fluid, but I may be available to meet any local TNCR-ers for a cup of coffee or such. Last time I tried that, I ended up ticking off someone as my schedule shifted, and I don't want to do that again so I make no promises - but once I get to Hyde Park late tonight, I'll know more and will post an update. Would love to meet up with any of you, if it works out.

Well, Bernard is the guy I ticked off last time - not sure he wants to have a coffee with me at this juncture.

Last night I dreamt that we had moved to the NYC area.

What's the weather there now?

I had to get up early this morning to get my 10K run in before it hits 81 with full blazing sun. I'm already getting up a bit early, and it's only February. In the summer, I'll be up by 4 am when it's only 90. Crazy.

Its 36 and dreary. But its actually been a mild winter, mostly in the 40s. I can count the days that dipped below freezing on one hand.

Chris, this is NINETEEN. Meet us at the eveready diner in Hyde park around 11:30 tomorrow for lunch. A ride into the city would be immensely appreciated for dad. And a meet-up Jon before heading to LGA would be great he needs to be there nlt 4 oclock

Or if its easier for Chris to drive you to Queens and skip Manhattan, we could meet in Astoria near the airport.

Hi Nineteen,

Sounds like a plan! I'll call you Dad's mobile later this afternoon.

Jon,

We can skip Manhattan altogether. Lets shoot for Astoria. That's probably easier all around.

Chris

Chris

Ok, I don't know any place in particular. I'm happy to just google something up (or yelp it, whatever), but if you know of a place let me know.

Chris - I PM'd you my cell. I'm going to assume we'll meet in Astoria around 4? I can do earlier or later, just let me know what the plan is.

right - if we're meeting in astoria we'll be 10 min from the airport. Chris suggested meeting at 2pm in a PM, but that could be tight if you guys are meeting in hyde park for lunch at 1130. We could make it 2:30 or even a bit later.

I'm totally flexible and will defer to your schedule, just let me know.

I found a friendly family owned greek restaurant in Astoria with great reviews, and sent the link on to Chris.

Google has it 2.7 miles from LGA, 8 min.

Kind of fitting that its in the Steinway neighborhood.

Sounds good. Lost major time in Akron, multiple bad accidents and bad roads. Much better now, just had lunch in Youngstown. Hope the rest of the roads are in good shape.
