[RubyDuby]

Anybody in NYC interested in meeting at Vegan Drinks on August 27 and/or Sacred Chow for brunch on Aug 30?

The infamous and seemingly MIA Bryzee and Joeybee will be there, along with me and my bf Brian.

[fiamma]

Missing In Action!


Not been seen in a while!

[fiamma]

Okeydoke. Gotcha now.

[matt35mm]

Why don't you all just put this off for a month when I'll be in NYC?

[RubyDuby]

Bryzee and Joeybee are from the UK. They've been planning this trip for awhile which is why I'm waiting til then to go. Maybe Brian and I will visit again when you're there! Depends on our funds.

[matt35mm]

I understand. I just want Bryzee and Joeybee to change their plans for me, is what I mean.

(I am joking by the way)

I thought that was the whole point? Avoiding Matt? ()

[matt35mm]

It all makes sense now!

[timberly]

I can't go to vegan drinks because I'm 19 and the 30th is move in day for my college

[DiaShel]

I'm going! I went to the last one too.

[BlackCats]

Ooh I am very excited about this meet-up (even though I won't be there.) Take lots of photos for us.

[DiaShel]

^ You sure you can't make it BC?

[gogs67]

Is it a vegan bar? I havn't heard of it.
Or is 'Vegan Drinks' just the name given to the meeting?

(link didn't open for me)

[RubyDuby]

that's just the name of the night at the bar. I think it's the last Thursday of every month.

comon BlackCats! make it happen

[fiamma]

Ufff... I wanna go too! *pouts and stamps foot*

[RubyDuby]

everybody should just put their lives on hold and fly to NYC.

[BlackCats]

everybody should just put their lives on hold and fly to NYC.

I would so love to be there. I hope you guys have a great time anyway!

[coney]

I'd love to make it, but my in-laws are flying in that day. Any veg*n NYC parents on this board with 2 or 3 year olds? We don't know any other veggie parents in the city...

[*live*&*let*live]

everybody should just put their lives on hold and fly to NYC.

I would come.....anyone wanna whip round for Fi, BC and little ol' me? I can fit in a suitcase! Seriously, I could!
Timberley you can sit outside and we'll pass drinks through the window! Non-alcoholic of course! Nah we'd all join u! Can you not even go to a pub in the States even if you are not drinking? We could do you up to look 21!

[fiamma]

Can you not even go to a pub in the States even if you are not drinking?

No, you can't - and they're extremely strict; I speak from personal experience

[terem]

I might possibly be able to make it. Do they serve any good food? I couldn't find a menu on their website.

haha you're so funny

my college is like a 40 min drive from the city and the move in times are 10-3 so maybe i can come if i move in quickly in the morning or go to brunch and leave in time to still drive to my school. i really want to meet everyone

is there a time set for when everyone is meeting at scared chow?

[timberly]

i found the menu. you have to click on on scren menu and and scroll all the way down- http://www.menupages.com/restaurants/sacred-chow/

[Anastazee]

This is pretty doable

[RubyDuby]

is there a time set for when everyone is meeting at scared chow?

not yet, but I can get back to you. Which time do you prefer?

This is pretty doable

awesome

[DiaShel]

Looks good. I haven't had a real breakfast/brunch in ages!

[DiaShel]

^ Oh wait, this is a Monday! I can't do that

[RubyDuby]

oh crap, I put the wrong date in the title of the thread!!
I don't know what I was thinking!
Sorry guys!!
I have to work Monday.

It would be Sat or Sun- the 29th or 30th.

[mariana]

Can you not even go to a pub in the States even if you are not drinking? We could do you up to look 21!

Actually it depends on which state you're in. Some states allow you to go into bars at 18 or 19 as long as you don't drink; others won't allow you to enter until you're 21. I was once in a liquor store with my mom when I was about 16, and they told her I'd need to leave unless she wanted to carry me (they had a rule you could bring kids in as long as you were carrying them). In some places under-21s can't even ring up alcohol if they work in a grocery store, so they have to call someone over to scan it for them.

[mariana]

I'm jealous....I wish I could come to NYC!

[timberly]

Brunch is 11-4 on saturday and sunday.
I can come anytime saturday or later on sunday, like around 1:00.
So bryzee and joeybee are spending time in NYC? There's so many fun things to do!

[RubyDuby]

ok, I guess we should meet there on Saturday then. We have to drive home Sunday afternoon.

eta: unless we met there at 1 on Sunday. I'll try to get bry and jo on here!

[bryzee86]

hello...?

i believe the mothership has called me back to sort this out.

It's my birthday 29th, and my and Joeybee's 1st anniversary 30th. so either would be good for a celebration! In fact, 29th would most probably be better. what say you?

And if enough people don't want to go to the vegan drinks thing, how about this instead: http://www.brooklynbridgepark.org/in...B2FEDAB8C0CD7E ?

[RubyDuby]

too many choices!

[DiaShel]

Seriously, why'd you have to complicate things? I'm down for whatever

[RubyDuby]

How did you like the vegandrinks event when you went, dia?

[DiaShel]

It was ok. I didn't talk to many people but when I did everyone was really nice. It was a good venue too. At 8 they stop everyone so people can make announcements about their causes/organizations. They had really good treats made from "sweet and sara" marshmellows but appartently that's not a regular thing.

[RubyDuby]

I would really like to go to that, but if everyone prefers the other option I wouldn't complain.

[PrettyBoyAndy]

Heyy, I'm gonna come...

I'm from long island.. Is anyone from long island heading out there??

[Anastazee]

thursday night in bk will definately be more difficult for me. Sat Brunch is PERFECT... but lets not act like this is about me I'll try to make whatever everyone decides on and if I can't i'll have to suck it up and be jealous! Brunch can = drinks, Bloody Mary or Mimosas anyone!?

[RubyDuby]

It looks like brunch Sat is best then, since it seems more convenient for Timberly, Anastazee and me.
DiaShel? Terem?

Anybody else have an opinion about Thursday night? Vegandrinks seems easier to get to and more fun!

[DiaShel]

Sat brunch works for me! So does Thursday, whatever it is we're doing

[PrettyBoyAndy]

i'm fasting so it would be pointless for me to come ... loll

[timberly]

woo hoo saturday brunch!

[bryzee86]

okey dokey:

thurs - vegan drinks at Angels & Kings, 500 East 11th street (between Ave. A & B), at 7pm.

Anyone up for ice cream at Lula's before we go? I believe it's rather cramped in there, so if it's busy we could grab a cone and sit in thompkins square park and nom?

sat - brunch at sacred chow (between W. 3rd and Bleecker) at what time? They open up at 11am, so go early to avoid the rush? [NB: This is my birthday. Anyone not enjoying hilarity to its full potential shall be challenged to a duel.]

[timberly]

Lula's is so good! I went there today and got a brownie sundae :smile:

[RubyDuby]

If we're there in time we're in!

[bryzee86]

lula's at 5.30pm, VD (hehehe) at 7?

woo.
