Sounds like the NYC dinner group is going to be a HUGE success!!!! I know you guys will have the greatest time...We here on the other coast will be anxiously awaiting the details...

How fortunate for you all to meet Roses in NYC and Madrid, she was such a pleasure to meet!!!

laduque:

how sweet of you to say that. it was such a PLEASURE meeting you, too...roses.

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.

oops, i better clarify that... i am going to madrid on june 25, arriving on the 26th. i'll definitely be in new york on sunday, june 24... i am so looking forward to meeting all of you new yorkins!!! ciao, roses.

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

I will be in NY the first week of August, so let's plan something for then too.

June 24th sounds great. I'll be there!
Haven't seen a time mentioned.

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.
