[HPFGU-NewYork] Hi Y'all

[Jim Ferer]

As you know, there's nothing special about the movie
theaters in NYC, except the prices (10 and 11 dollars
these days), especially if you have access to a wide
screen where you live.

When we all met previously, we did a dim-sum pigout in
Chinatown at Jim Fong, which John Walton rightly calls
the best dim-sum palace in the city (It's on Elizabeth
Street near Canal).  We went to the Village, speaking
of your old haunt, and hung out at a coffee bar and
then had dinner at a good Italian restaurant, both on
McDougall Street. Sorry, I don't remember the names --
anyone help out?

The second time we met we went to FAO Schwarz on Fifth
and saw the full range of Harry Potter merchandise,
which we didn't much like (Highlights: A Scabbers
plush toy and Troll Booger Potion).  

Dinner was good, though, if you are a carnivore: The
Green Field at 108th and Northern in Corona, on the
way out to Shea Stadium. It's a Brazilan barbecue: You
get salad and some delicious side dishes at a buffet
style arrangement.  When you're done with that, you
take the little wooden bobbin on your table and turn
it green side up. Waiters start coming to your table
with a wide variety of meats on sword-like skewers:
steaks, sausages, lamb, rabbit, turkey, up to fifteen
different items, and they keep bringing it until you
give up and turn your bobbin red side up or explode,
whichever comes first. THEN they bring an obscene
dessert trolley.

We had a great time.  Maybe you'd be interested in
getting together with whoever of us is around at the
time.  Have a great time!
