We are currently hoping to have dinner together on Tuesday, April 1. If you have any suggestions for restaurants which are reasonably priced and easily accessed from the convention hotels, add them here (with comments):

Rita's two cents here, just names I got from browsing several sites. They seem to have moderate prices

Nina's two cents: these are all quite far from the midtown area where the Convention will be and would require going by subway or bus. Also just for me: Indian food is too spicy.

I agree with you, Nina, the problem is finding restaurants that are near our place and which are also good and inexpensive. ...:-(

I think we don´t have to worry about restaurants in NY. If there's a city with plenty of restaurants that's NY, especially in Manhattan. I am for any kind of food, even the very spicy ones ;-) - Daf

Another penny for thought from Nina (who was born in Manhattan and lived about 6 miles of it until age 18):  Streets (West 56th Street, East 94th Street) are short blocks, easily walked (streets go east-west).  Avenues (Sixth Avenue [aka Avenue of the Americas], 9th Avenue, 5th Avenue) are very long blocks.  Avenues run north-south.  Street addresses with "West" are to the west of 5th Avenue; those with "East" are to the east of 5th Avenue.

In other words, to walk from West 56th Street to West 52nd Street along Sixth Avenue is a pretty short walk.  In contrast, to walk from Sixth Avenue to Ninth Avenue along West 56th St. is a pretty long walk.

Of course there is the subway and there are buses, but I am not familiar with any of the lines or routes anymore and don't have a clue about the safety.  Anyone?

Hi, everyone!

I'm getting very "hungry and thirsty" with all these links to restaurants here!

But I have to lose some weight before April so that I can go to all these places with all my dear Webhead friends.   :-)

Hugs and beijinhos,

 WOW, Nina, of course you know better!!!! ;-) Do you know whether they have a corner for a big table...? So far, we'll be more than 15 !!!

One more thing, VERY IMPORTANT: our first dinner together will need to be on April 2nd (Wedn), since many Webheads arrive on that day and I guess we all agree ..., the more, the  more FUN!!! (Rita)
