the maid of woodlynne Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 I am always interested in going to the Met, but it may be a madhouse on a summer saturday. Thoughts?http://www.metmuseum...ent-exhibitionsNothing grabs me, but I can spend all day there just looking through the permanent collection...ETA: I've never been to the Cloisters - that could be a cool way to spend an afternoon.

Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naz Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Count me in. The Cloisters is a great idea, but I fear many NY BwBers may have been there already. Personally, I don't mind going again, but I'll have to seriously resist the urge to be super pedantic. I promise to just chitchat and quietly take pictures this time.Since we'd be way uptown, maybe we can follow it up with Italian food at Arthur Avenue. It's been a while, so I'm not sure where to go and whether it'd be too busy or not. Mr. X would have a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the maid of woodlynne Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 naz - unicorns are involved if we hit the cloisters. I'll need you to cut me some slack. Squeeeee!Anyone else have any ideas? We are interested in suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turinqui-Calima Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I've been to The Cloisters a bunch of times so I might skip that part. T-Mow if you've never been you really should, it's awesome and, as you say, has a unicorn! Fort Tryon Park, where it's located, is nice too, but not very large.I don't know Arthur Avenue at all, but in general I would prefer more of a casual bar/beer garden than a restaurant. I was going to suggest Heights Tavern (you could just take the M4 bus down Broadway) but apparently it's not open yet and I'm not sure if it will be by July 27th.

Capt. Zemblanity Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm in.... Maid - shall I pick you up? We can drop off the puppy on our way, no biggie for me. xoEdit: Late night punctuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaesterSixtus Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I would like to come. I was turned on to this group recently, and I'd like to see what you guys are all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can drop off the puppy on our way, no biggie for me. xoEdit: Late night punctuation.Thanks for the offer, Caryn. Let's discuss details as we get closer to the date. Stopping to drop the pup will add a considerable amount of time to the round trip - just want to make sure you're completely in the know before we decide to carpool! I'll txt you. I would like to come. I was turned on to this group recently, and I'd like to see what you guys are all about.We're happy to welcome new folks. :) I'll list you as 'attending' and if you change your mind just let us know.

Turinqui-Calima Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Is everyone planning on going to the Cloisters? I was thinking of either hanging out in the park while those who want to go to the museum or I will just go straight to wherever we're eating/drinking. I do have a Frisbee.Zar - I don't know Inwood Local but the website looks nice. I think because The Cloisters is on a hill the walk might be a bit far. On the other hand I think most places will be a bit of a walk or we could take a bus/train downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naz Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Inwood Local seems like a pretty good place. (I love their website, except for the typos.) I don't think it's too far at all. Seems like a few blocks. In any case, I'll probably drive since I'm just over the GWB Bridge and we're mostly hanging out uptown. If Caryn/maid are driving too, then it should be easy enough to hop over to Inwood Local.Any suggestions for time? I know the South Jersey contingent probably can't get here before noon-ish at the earliest, so if we spend a few hours at the Cloisters, then Inwood Local is dinner, not lunch. On the other hand, they serve brunch until 4, so maybe it could work. I'm flexible whatever we decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the maid of woodlynne Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Inwood Local sounds good to me, too. Noonish is a bit of a scramble for us South Jerseyites as it'll probably take 3 hours to get from here to NYC with all the necessary stops. How does everyone feel about 1-5 at the Cloisters/Tryon Park, and then heading to Inwood Local for dinner/drinks? (updating the OP with all relevant info)Oh and let's get a final headcount for dinner/drinks so I can call IL in case we need a reservation.
