In keeping with the spirit of honoring our Gaelic brethren, would people enjoy returning to the Irish pub by Penn Station? I would suggest meeting about 4 P.M. that day.

I shall be offline for a good part of February, so speak up, folks, and we'll sort out the consensus upon my return.

I would be honored to be there.

You're very welcome, Butler!

Just be aware that we are now planning to meet on that Sat evening, the 15th.

Gotcha. Sounds like fun, keep me "posted". Looking forward to meeting you all. I have traveled as far as Louisville for a decent kilt night!

If we are starting dinner at 5 then that would really be the end of the pub crawl. By 7:30 8:00 the pubs start getting very crowded down town. It would end up being maybe one or two spots. I would say start a bit sooner in the day hit a couple of pubs then stop for dinner. That way we don't spend the day going from one very crowded spot to another looking for room. That is one of the things you have to take account of Thursday to Saturday, the pubs tend to get very crowded and very loud once the party crowd starts coming in. It makes it very hard to hold a conversation with out screaming at each other.

Would it makes sense to meet somewhere a bit more central? Union Square? Still on the 4,5,6 line etc. JMHO.

I will be coming in via Grand Central. Do most go into GC or Penn Station?

Once we set the list of pubs to hit I will post the start time and what pubs at what times. That way for anyone who comes late the will have an idea were the crawl is at at that hour.

Schedule looks great, Keith.

FYI, our meet up place, Ryan's, is between 9th and 10th St. on Second Ave, on the west side of the street.

Print out the spots so we dont have any confusion, and no one gets lost. See all of you.
