Um, no one has contacted me. While I generally organize stuff, I know very little about NYCC and what would be a good place. As you can tell from my attempts at organization at NYCC in 2015, it wasn't pretty.

Where have you guys been meeting up for the past few years?

[member=314]Transmute Jun[/member] I would definitely be up for a meet-up or two

for me personally I'm not the best for during con meet-ups since my schedule can change on a dime, but I can help organize or suggest places.

On Sunday evening however i am 100% in. We usually gather after con in the main area of the crystal palace and walk to a place, we've switched up where we go sometimes its a diner other times a bar, two years ago I think it was at houndstooth but I'm not 100% sure; maybe [member=2339]NCDS[/member] [member=2335]LibertyRoxx[/member] or [member=1]alyssa[/member] does.  pub which was pretty good

Anotherr place we could consider are in 2016 we went to this place Duvel Bar but that was during con one day and in 2017 on Wednesday we ended up at a pretty decent place

and of course there are tons of other places we could go

I don't remember where.  I fly out Sunday though this year so I won't be able to join the usual Sunday get together.

Same here. My flight out is late Sunday afternoon. There was only one direct flight a day, so I didn't have much of a choice.

Ok, I really suck at organizing but since this is the week, I figure I'll make a suggestion.

Anyone interested in Korean Wings?  There's a Bon Chon on 39th between 7th and 8th.

I really like BonChon Chicken (I posted that yesterday). Last night I was thinking about places to eat and I remembered when my parents visited, they always enjoyed eating at a place called The Smith. It's hip joint with food that's a little more upscale casual is the best I can describe. Here's their website: https://thesmithrestaurant.com/location/nomad/ (https://thesmithrestaurant.com/location/nomad/) They got the usual, salads, burgers, etc. They have a large bar if anyone's interested. I'm a big fan of their Jalapeno Cheddar Grits. It's located on 1150 Broadway (at 27th Street) and they're open till 1 AM Fridays and Saturdays, Midnight for all other days.

Or we could all go to Dave & Busters in the Times Square area on 42nd Street. Any other suggestions?

I really wanted to go to a meetup, but every single evening is full. Wednesday I am going to the Titans panel. Thursday I am going to a screening. Friday I am going to the Netflix panel. Saturday night is the TWD panel.

This has gotten like SDCC where there's just no time to meet up...
