There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York

[mojosmom]

Well, it's actually a plane, and it will be leaving Chicago on Thursday, October 11 (and returning on Monday).

I would love to get together with my New York friends! My plans are almost completely fluid. I am going to see Lucia di Lammermoor at the Met on Saturday night, but other than that I am free as a bird!

On my to-do list: Rembrandt at the MMA, Van Gogh at the Morgan, Piranesi at the Cooper-Hewitt. What else is on that I should do?

(I'm staying on the Upper West Side, but am happy to wander about the boroughs!)

What say you, New Yorkers?

Pick Me!

I am totally free for something on Sunday. Of course, I can be available for drinks or dinner on any of the evenings.

I'm thinking of going to the New York Times Great Children's Read on Sunday. It is at Columbia University.

Have a great time. Will you be posting confirmed social engagements here? I'll see what I can do to join in any festivities, especially the kind that involves food and/or drink. :-)

[mojosmom.livejournal.com]

Yes, I will!

Woohoo!

I wish I could. We're hosting more Italians this weekend, and I am already bemoaning the loss of my precious non-work time.

These are not the same people we love and adore but a cadet branch of other relations of zz-nonno's. They want Woodbury Commons (outlet shopping - ugh!), apple picking, and Sunday dinner. They'll be doing the city during the week while I'm back at work.

I'd SO rather be meeting you! Hope you have a fabulous time.

It is for the following weekend. Will your visitors be gone by then?

Good question - I know they're planning on visiting other relatives, in Rochester, but I don't know when or for how long. If I possibly can, I will surely come to a meet-up.

What GR said! I will be there next weekend, not this coming weekend! If you'll be rid of the Italians by then, I'd love to meet you, too!

Not sure yet - I might be free if, as I said to GR, they go to Rochester that weekend.

I don't know what New Yorker's say, but as a non-New Yorker I say: Have an excellent time! :)) (and take a lot of pics)

Most definitely! I amuse myself: from a complete Luddite as regards digital cameras, I have been converted to a devotée, taking my camera pretty much everywhere!

I lost my greeneyed monster icon, but if I still had it it would be here! Have a brilliant time, and please keep us right up to date! If I can't travel in fact, the next best thing is to do so vicariously, and especially in such good company!
