I've got the address for The Cowgirl, 519 Hudson Street, and a really handy, nifty Manhattan street map.

Can any of you New Yorkers tell me the cross streets for the block of Hudson Street where The Cowgirl is located?

(Elle, you know you want to come. ...)

It's in between West 10 and Charles Street, closer to 10th.  I'm excited!!  :P

Thanks, "JC"!

OMG, I'm getting excited, too. That is, like, one block north of Christopher Street, if I'm reading my map correctly? I used to know that part of the city in the early 1990s, the last time I was out and about in Manhattan.

I must find out if The Leatherman is still in existence on Christopher Street!

Is that the place with the spiral staircase that went downstairs to the more adult leather section?   ::)

Juan - I think it's soooooo great you're going.  I love (will NOT say sp*nk here) your enthusiasm and reaching out to a bunch of Brokie's you just met.  I don't think you'll be sorry...

I'm not sure, David. I don't remember a spiral staircase, but it's been probably literally a dozen years or more since I've been in the place. I do remember there was a downstairs. I remember going downstairs for fitting--literally, no joke or euphemism here--when I bought my chaps there in--eeek!--1990.

And I'm so sorry to hear of your job loss! That sucks!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! The Brokie Broncho is on! Elle, please come, pleeeeeeeze?

So, 12 sounds like a good number, not too big. Can we get a head count? Here's my go at it:

Meryl
Sarah (M's friend)
Amy
Me
John
David
Paul
Juan
DeeDee
Jeff
Clarissa??
HobokenJeff?

I think I need to go cowgirl hat shoppin!

And yes, the little rotation of the tables is a must! We can't be missing the opportunity to get quality time with each other.

Happy (gorgeous) Sunday everyone! I'm counting the days...

littleguitar, not to worry, we live here, so when you ride into town, just let us know and we'll meet up.  :)

I'll also be in NYC in late May (I'm an ex-New Yawker) - the same time as Mandy (littleguitar) - I arrive May 23 in the evening.

I'm sure that the April brunch will be so successful that y'all want to do another one a month later.  It's never too early to plan!  That will also give others from out of town time to plan their trips.  NY is so beautiful in late May.

Hey, Pete, I'm glad to hear you'll be in town!  Let's keep in touch, and I'm sure we can arrange a little Brokie gabfest when you're here.  ;D

So Clarissa, what's the word?  You're in, ain'tcha?  Say yes!  :-*
