I just looked at my calendar and saw that I have marked tomorrow as the date of your meet.
And I won't be there.
Except in spirit.
Give the Plaza Hotel, Radio City Music Hall, the Bandshell in Central Park, Grant's Tomb, Pete's Tavern, The White Horse, Grand Central Station, the Court Street Bakery, or the monument of your choice a big kiss for me. And take pictures. And report back.
<sob>
ep oooooooof (And if you do happen to go to the Court Street Bakery, would you mind sending me some canoli? Theirs is the best, IMNSHO.) (Shit, I'd be glad to have a knish, where I am right now. With mustard, of course.) (And an egg cream, if it's not too much trouble) <sob>

I don't even know what those things are (yeah, typical Californian) and I'm damned sorry not to be going. <rumble, rumble> <-----my stomach Sue

Dear ep, I am wish-mailing you a knish from the Tal Bagel shop which is right next door to me. I assume the Court Street Bakery is in Brooklyn. Haven't been to Cobble Hill in eons. Haven't had an egg cream in years, but I used to make them at home with seltzer, milk and a shot of chocolate syrup. However, I sometimes stop at the Papaya King on Third Avenue and get 2 hot dogs and a medium papaya drink. The whole city is a momument for me; I get the bends whenever I leave it.
Jef, that is the best description of an egg cream I have ever read. I am pretty sure that we won't be able to get any at the Chinese restaurant tonight. Green tea, yes. Tsing Tao beer, yes. Egg cream, no.
EP! I, too, have not been over to Cobble Hill in a coon's age, so to speak and while I've been in NYC over 23 years, it was past the time of the famed Egg Creme days so I've never had one. But I totally agree with Joyce. Take me out of Manhattan and I go nutz. Too Quiet and Too Much Space! <G> If you ears start buring tonight know that we're talking of you [and many others] as we gather and giggle and see each other!

I was just thinking last night, well, I'll make my own damn egg cream. I wondered whether your "Nicest Man In New York" included any sort of recipe, and couldn't remember. Then I thought, well, hell, this is the 21st Century -- I can look it up on the Internet!
So I'm off to do some research, then off to the store, and I'll introduce my SO to the pleasures of an egg cream, and I'll close my eyes and pretend I'm at Ratner's . . . . .
