FYI > the last time I went to a game with Flyertalkers, we really didn’t spend much time watching it. We were talking miles and points. Ya think the same will happen? If so, we should do cheap seats.
Do we have an actual day for the dinner or is that pending restaurant negotiations? Sunday might be best, the Monday for people to travel back but not as busy a night for the restaurant.
I apologize to Leo for not posting on this thread. He yelled at me today and thought I was mad at him. Actually, some of us have to work for a living - - - and that does not involve wine. Memorial Day sounds like a good excuse, but last year I had to run the homeless shelter BBQ and they will ask me again. I suppose smoking an extra brisket or two is no big deal. You try smoking brisket for 100 and see how it goes. Planning BF 87 for NYCis a good idea. Maybe we can call it Springtacularation. Or NewYorkisthe. BigApplefest. For those of you who have not done this before, I say More wine for me. Your loss is my gain.
In 2014 we had make your own pizza. We could do that again. Deep fried Turkey and smoked brisket with caramelized onions for the rest of the anti gluten crew. I’m afraid I’m getting too old to repeat the 2010 event, when we served a full dinner in the back yard every two hours for 8 hours (thats five dinners) and then Brought out the chocolate fountain and made chocolate covered bacon for dessert.
I have a venue in mind, its a rooftop in the Brooklyn Navy yard 9view of NYC. great for large groups and a buffet would work well. Sit-down joints for such a large group are difficult and Peking offers a certain something special in it’s more friendly room-around attitude than sitting while you hear utensils clanking…
