They have met in LA & now are planning to meet in DC. What about NYC? Anyone interested? Lets hear it if there is. I would love to meet some of my brother & sister Spain Lovers from MM.com.

Hi billy ski!!! I wouldn't think you'd have TOO much trouble formulating a NYC dinner group. In fact, I recall a thread (or part of a thread) talking about Spanish restaurants in NYC among some of the NYC-area board members and I think there are MANY (NYC members AND Spanish restaurants in NYC).
Hope you can put it together! I wish *I* could attend!!
Saludos, MadridMan

Xunta on 1st between 10th and 11th is good, or Ñ in Soho is where I would go.

How is the 17th or the 24th of June? They are both Sundays? Xunta in the East Village on 1st Ave between 10th & 11th Ave as recommended by Asterault from Barcelona. It gets a 20-14-14 by Zagat and is considered a real Bargain w/ terrific tapas and Sangria. Any other suggestions? Post em up. Lets hear it.

There's one called Taperia Madrid on the Upper East too which is decent and there's a Catalan place up there too.

I heard Xunta has changed owners and is no longer as good/interesting as it used to be. But the bar atmosphere might be good for a group. Sorry i won't be in NY then!! I really liked a restaurant over by the UN called Marichu... good food, not too expensive...

Well my friends, so far we have recommendations from two regulars on a restaurant for the NYC get-together. Asterault lives in Barcelona and RGF cannot be there. Looks like some field work needs to be done. I'll force myself to investigate a few Spanish Rests in a centralized area for convenience of attendees. The Village is the likely spot as everyone knows where it is and it has a European feel to it still to this day. Alas, the burdensome undertakings we must make on behalf of our Brothers & Sisters from MM.com. I can't wait! I'll report my findings soon.Keep those cards & letters comin.

Dear NYC Attendees: I'll check out El Charro Espanol @ 4 Charles St in GV this weekend for Sat. 6/24. So far we have 7 for sure plus a young Senorita from Malaga I met this weekend. She is interested in attending with her young man and also is thrilled about MM.com when I explained our lifeline to Spain to her.Looks like 10 people for sure but all are welcome to attend.By the way Zagat survey gives El Charro a 22-15-20 rating which is outstanding for food in this price range. Spread the word and I'll be back.

This is REALLY shaping up!!! I wonder if Aphra (if she's reading this) would consider attending too since she's in NY as well. I know she's very busy these days.
As with the Washington D.C. group dinner, if someone could take along a camera and snap a couple group photos I'll be happy to post them right here.
Have fun!!! Wish I was there! Saludos, MadridMan

I've been wondering the same about Aphra. I know she's from the Village and this restaurant would be very convenient for her as GV is kinda small. I hadn't seen any postings of wisdom or Anarchy lately so figured she was on assignment.If you are out there Aphra, Plesae respond.We miss yor postings if nothing else.

MadridMan: You are right about Aphra being very busy. We spoke yesterday and she is unable to be on the board now BUT will attend the NYC gathering on June 24th. It looks like 10 will be in attendance(counting my girl and the Malaga Senorita I mentioned along with her Hombre.This includes one that is pretty sure of attending but I prefer to be positive.There is still room for more but whatever the turnout I'm sure it will be a fun night.I look forward to putting a face to the people I've been communicating with by cyber-space for almost one year(6 months since signing on).Plus it's always a great night eating Spanish food and in Greenwich Village you better be good or you do not last.Any ideas or suggestions from you LA old pros would be appreciated. be talkin to ya.

Roses: I noticed your posting about being in Madrid for 6/20 @ the MM.com gathering.Lucky Lucky you but I see you intend to be in NYC for our gathering on 6/24. Will you be able to leap continents at a single bound? If so you are my new heroine.If not please clarify. You know you come with a high recommendation from Ladaque who is #529 while I am #528. That makes us nearly twins.

Oop! I forgot to mention that everyone is welcome to bring a friend or escort or both. Just let me know what your intentions are so when I speak to the reataurantours I can estimate our attendance.How selfish of me & I beg your forgiveness.

Well my friends I was in GV today and checked out a few Spanish rests. The one I was after initially is the one that can accomodate our group. El Charro Espanol at 4 Charles St in NYC. It is between Greenwich Ave & 7th Ave So. They welcome our group but of course will need a deposit to hold it for June 24th at 7Pm. I explained we expect anywhere from 15 to 20 people and they were fine. The other rests would only commit for a group for Lunch hours. They can set up a Prix-Fixe or order a la carte. What do you think guys? Let me know and anything else that you can think of. It is a lovely cozy place and the Manager I spoke with was unsuprisingly friendly. I think we can fit nicely and be comfortable while taking up a good portion of the place.The rest has high ratings with zagat and has that Homey, Friendly Spanish feel that most of us love. It is not Madrid but it will be as close as you can get in NYC. The menu is very varied and of course the prices are not like in Spain. But I have seen a lot higher in NY. We can have a great time here and please someone bring a camera. Mark that date off on your calander for Madridman.com in NY  [img]null[/img]

Hi all!!
I just found this thread. I'm from Connecticut, but I will surely try to be in the city for this gathering. It sounds like a lot of fun and I'd love to meet some of you.
I'll keep looking for updates on this.
Thanks, GranadaGirl aka Denise

Welcome Jenny. This is shaping up nicely and you are right I neglected to mention the time. Plan on 7PM starting time. Although anyone is welcome earlier as they have a bar @ El Charro Espanol. Right now we are looking at 7 members for sure and 2 who will try to be there.This is not including guests and escorts. As it is still early we don't know for sure but 15 is a reasonable estimate. This lovely restaurant is in a convenient and old fashioned part of the West Village. I know our group will have a great time here.

It doesn't seem anyone has mentioned it above, but El Charro Español has a website @ http://www.el-charro-espanol.com . Looks Nice!!

My hat is off to you MM. I have their card & their menu and it has no Website address. I am also a big google.com fan and never looked for a site. Thanks for the information as it will allow others to visit and see how nice it is. Also those that cannot attend but want to can visit the sight and be there in spirit, if not in person. Are you sure you cannot attend MM? It would be great to meet with you and I'll pay for YOUR dinner if you can come.As far as prices go El Charro is less expensive than most NYC Spanish rests. But the offer is extended only to MM for the Meal on me. No impersonators Please! Thanx again MM for finding the sight.

Thanks billy ski! If my sister still lived in Chelsea, as she did up until last summer, I would make a serious effort to take you up on your offer.  Otherwise, with airfare ($200+?) AND lodging ($100+/night) I don't think I'll be able  . But thanks!!  Have a GREAT time, all!! And yes, I did find the website through a www.Google.com search. That is definite THE BEST search engine on the planet. Saludos, MadridMan

I just checked out the website, and it looks so SPANISH!!! I'm sooo excited, I'm going to see if I can get my friend who studied in Spain with me to go, she loves Spain too!
Hopefully I'll see you all soon!

I know it's still 5 weeks until our gathering but I need to know and at the same time keep this item high on the "General Chatter" column. Keep the energy high level and mark this date in STONE. June 24th @ 7PM . It is a Sunday evening. Let me hear from you in this column. Regards Ski

MAN!!! I wish I could attend that one!! I'll be in Bradenton, Florida for my grandfather's 86th birthday that weekend (I only see him about once a year so.. well.. you know how it is....) and I can't/don't want to miss that. He's in great shape and would love to see him while I have the chance. I'm sure you'll ALL have a GRRRREAT time in NYC for a wonderful Spanish dinner. MAN!!
Saludos, MadridMan

Hey roses, I am looking to depart from Newark to Madrid. Not JFK- my parents already don't want me to go let alone drive me to JFK. Just today I found one for $704 on Expedia, via British. That is more than I hoped I could get on Priceline but that didn't work out, and it is hundreds less than the other fares I've found. So... what do you guys think? Roses, any suggestions? Thanks!

Papi: Of course you are invited to the MM.com gathering in Greenwich Village NYC. All are welcome that are MMers or friends or family of MMers. We look forward to meeting each other as well as any Spain lover. Please come and introduce yourself and in the interim just become part of the MM.com family. See you on 6/24 @ 7PM.

Well, unfortunately I must back out as I will be departing for Spain as you all sit down to dinner! I really wanted to come, it just worked out that leaving that day fit my plans the best. I hope there is another one later in the summer or in the fall or something.

Hi Billy and all-
You're going to have to change me to a 'no'. Unfortunately, I'll be in Atlanta for business that weekend and won't be able to attend the dinner. :-( Anyone going to be there?!
Have a great time, and I'll join you all the next time!
Denise

Oh No, both Majesty and Granada Girl are out.My worst fears have been realized. Actually I would love to trade places with you Majesty and fly off to Madrid rather than have dinner in GV. But we must make do the best we can and that will be by assembling on 6/24 and transporting ourselves to Spain as a group fueled by each others love of Spain and dedication to MM.com I expect that will suffice and we all can go off after dinner having put faces to our cyber-friendships.I look forward to it very much. Enjoy Atlanta GG. Maybe you can get together with a few MMers while in town.Keep in touch and post your experiences in Madrid whenever possible Majesty.

Hi Billy:
Been out of town last two weeks and am responding to your 5/14 question "are you all...still interested in dinner on June 24th?". Yes, I am still interested but must admit that I checked out the ratings on the ElCharro website and both ratings listed it as "expensive" with meals at around $35. Maybe you should see who might be interested in finding some place less pricy. Jenny

Well Jenny, I must admit that I would prefer El Charro to be less expensive but it is what it is.If you know somewhere else that is cheaper and has the reputation El C. has to go along with the willingness to accomodate 15 to 20 people, please let me know. I have no particular love for this restaurant but according to what I have seen out there it seems to be fine.Also a big concideration of mine is the convenience of location that El C. has being in G. Village and pretty much known to all. For me it is inconvenient but I have no problem making the trip so I can meet in a centrally located place that is more attractive to the majority. AS for the prices I have a copy of their Menu and the most expensive dish is Lobster Tails in White tails which is 33.00 and concists of 3 L.Ts. A very popular dish I used to gauge the costliness is Paella A La Valenciana, as this is known to all and is hearty and costly to put together.The cost is 17.25 and I thought this was resonable. I have had this dish in other rests around NY and belive me this is not costly. One more example is an appetizer known and loved by all is Tortilla Espanola and this costs 6.25. Not cheap, but in Toledo I paid 600 pesatas last Nov. & this is about 3.33 USD. So decide for yourselves. I do know the other few rests I spoke with could not accomodate us as they obviously have a steadier crowd. One is the Seville on Charles St. and they said only for Lunch and the costs there were much higher. Although; right near my home in Long Beach there is a great little rest by the name of Meson Seville and their prices are much lower but who wants to come to Island Park NY or who can even find it unless familiar with LINY. Let me know out there what you guys want and of course I'll be in line with it. Regard: Ski

I think the restaurant sounds good and reasonable. Sure it'd be cheaper in Madrid, but hey we live in New York City. It sounds like the $35 price isn't reached without alcohol. Billy, great job- see you in exactly one month!!

Hi Billy: Have a great time in the Bahamas. I just came back from a few weeks in Miami. I sent you an e-mail with some alternate suggestions for spanish restaurants in NYC but I have a feeling you may not have gotten it. Anyway -this was for future possibilities. I will be joining you with one guest on June 24th. Thanks for your legwork in organizing. For Spanish enthusiasts: there is a "everything Spanish" URL --- http://www.spanishnewyork.com that I discovered recently!! Jenny [ 05-28-2001: Message edited by: Antonio ]

I just noticed that there is a free salsa concert at Summerstage in Central Park on the afternoon of 6/24: El Gran Combo It should end at about the time of the dinner or slightly before.

Hey ya'll. I won't be able to be at your dinner in NYC, but I do have a suggestion for an EXCELLENT and inexpensive Spanish restaurant. It's called Meson Sevilla & I have absolutely NO IDEA how to get there. You can call info to get the cross streets. It is pretty near the broadway area. I worked in NY during the world series & I absolutely fell in love with the restaurant, bar and people. If you go, please tell them that Lindsay from FOX sent you. We were there for two weeks during the Subway Series & they served a group of 75 of us from FOX Sports. We had a ball & they did too. I was back in NY in December & I walked back into the bar & they all remembered me & treated me fantastically. They have great paella, great service, and GREAT (though dangerous) Sangria. I highly recommend it! Have a great time & next time I'm in NY, I'm organizing another dinner! lindsay

Hi Billy: You asked for suggestions about the bill: Well - why not let the waitress make separate for each diner - 15, or even 20 is not a big deal. I go out in groups often and we always ask for this because - in my case, neither me nor my two accompanying friends drink and are vegetarians - so why would we want to participate in paying for other's choices. With separate checks, the problem of the liquor tab is also settled. Jenny

Billie, Thanks for doing such a great job organizing, we had a great time and it was super to finally meet yourself, MClarke and family, Roses, and everyone else. We should plan another dinner or another activity this summer, and maybe some of those who missed this one can come.

Thanks, Billy for arranging this, eventhough I couldn't make it, I'm glad it was such a success. Count me in on any other activities!! I'm soo bummed I couldn't make the event, but I was on a business trip to Atlanta. I DID find an "Ella Baila Sola" & a Sevillanas CD in the Borders there, so I bought that in honor of our adopted patria and all of you!
I'm glad it went great, is anyone planning on posting pictures?

Hello everyone! The dinner was a great success and I hope that the one this Saturday will be just as good. It was so cool meeting Billy Ski, Caminante, MClark, and everyone else. As I said before, the people that utilize the MadridMan site are really cool, nice and sweet people to know. I had a great time and it made my brief time in New York a memorable and enjoyable one. Life really is good... when you sit back and just take a look, you´ll realize how wonderful life can really be... saludos de Madrid...roses.

It is quite amazing to meet in persons the regulars of MM's site like billski (with Kathi and Fran), Caminante (w/ Maria), Rosas and Billy's friend from another site, Mary and her friend). My family had a great time! My son was so amused that friends via internet meet for dinner. This is my second MM dinner and both dinners were just so entertaining. I enjoyed my visiting New York City.
