I may have to start collecting in order to put down a deposit of 500 and I have to guarantee at least 35 people by a certain date (hopefully Dec. 20th)

If you have Paypal set up, I will send my share.

Regards, Ivan

I am checking out paypal. I have never used them before but just making sure what the fees are if any. I may set up a PO box but I wont be able to check that out until Monday.

Wherever; this place looks good too, and if beer and wine are included, so much the groovier.

I'm in no matter where we have it, it's been way too long since the NY-area freepers met to blow off some steam...

[hellinahandcart]

On-may-way-out-the-door bump...

[stanz]

This sounds like a better deal. I wasn't keen on Moran's anyway to be honest. Hope this can all be worked out.

[MadIvan]

It's a bit difficult for me to send cheques in US funds, is all.

Regards, Ivan

$35.00 inclusive sit down dinner in private room with beer and wine now included

Beer included? That’s impossible! It’s a great price, if true!

Here’s some reviews of the place:

Landmark Tavern Restaurant
626 11th Ave. at 46th Street. 212-757-8595. Average main course $30. This restaurant was an Irish waterfront saloon 130 years ago. It's truly one of New York's treasures. Dine by the fireplace in one of the rooms decorated in period furniture and enjoy wonderful Irish soda bread with dishes like Chicken Pot Pie. This was the setting for ABC's Spin City and it will be the setting for great food and good times for years to come, we certainly hope. A favorite of Readio for romance, style and food. The location is somewhat out of the way but it's worth the trip.

Landmark Tavern
Located deep within the West Side's warehouse wasteland, this lonely outpost of old New York rewards the adventurous with an atmosphere hardly changed since the doors opened in 1868. Stained-glass accents, bountiful flower arrangements and yellowed portraits of voluptuous Victorian vixens brighten the richly carved mahogany paneling. An antique cash register and hat rack sit at the end of the long bar like old regulars, quaintly recalling a time when a man never left home without his Homburg and always paid in cash. And between the semi-trucks roaring down Eleventh Avenue, you can even catch glimpses of horse carriages ambling into and out of Central Park. -- Andrew Yamato

Uh, yeah, there's definitely a discrepancy here. Thirty bucks sound kind of steep for Chicken Pot Pie.

And thirty-five sounds cheap for dinner WITH wine and beer included (they will lose *much money* on us).
