Tell ya what...we're doing a Brokie Brunch in NYC
wtbgirl:
Oops sorry about that - actually yes, I misread my calculator earlier (pre coffee - I couldn't see straight ;D) and overstated the price by a bit.
AT COWGIRL: The minimum labor and gratuity fee, according to the planner, is $175, regardless of the actual body count. So, for example, if we had 10 people confirmed that were coming to the braunch, that would be an extra $17.50 (175/10) over the $25 pre-fixe food bill, for a total of $42.50. Whatever the exact end price, which depends on the number of people coming, the concept is that -
at Cowgirl, for the private space at Bar K, we have to each pay a pro-rated labor/tip fee, pay the $25 food/one drink price, and pay for our own drinks after the first free mimosa.
So, all the folks that were interested in doing need to decide what everyone wants to do. We can (1) reserve this space - but if so, we have to pick a new date, (2) we can reserve a table in the main room for 4/29, or (3) pick another restaurant for 4/29.
Meryl:
Amy, thanks so much for doing that legwork for us!! MWAH! :-*
Right now, we have a count of 11, if Elle comes: Amy, John, Deedee, Juan, Paul, David, Jeff, Clarissa, Jenny, me and my friend Sarah. Maybe we can still coax HobokenJeff to come, too.
That is very doable at a large table in the main room, so my vote would be to reserve one there and thus avoid the extra costs. If it turns out we have significantly more people, then we could explore other options. I think the Rodeo Bar & Grill, for example, is large enough to accommodate more people fairly easily.
I really don't want to change the date at this point, for fear of losing attendees. It's worth it to stay at the Cowgirl, I think, because of the Western shop across the street, and also because it's in Greenwich Village, a very cool neighborhood for exploring afterwards.
What does everyone else think?
wtbgirl:
I am up for either option. ;D
Aloysius J. Gleek:
I'm in, whatever (cough, hack, stumbles in through the swinging bar doors)-- sawbones says I didn't die after all, guess I have to believe him.
Should we make a rez for an even dozen to allow for late additions?
(You're not gonna believe this, but it just started snowin' here in New York--well, it won't stick an hour--)
(cough, hack)
:P
Thanks for the kind wishes, all!
newyearsday:
I am SOOO glad this is still happening! Yes, it is snowing here!!
Well, I see your point Meryl, about keeping the date. I we have more than 12 people, though, how can we get it to be easy enough to mingle? This is a big concern from Clarissa and I agree with her. I want to be able to talk to all of you, not just four or five within easy earshot.
So, I would be up for changing the date and reserving a room at Cowgirl. But I would do what the majority wants. I really want to know what Elle thinks of this....are you out there E?
PS hooray for the Connecticutian Brokies joining in the fray!
