Is it time to talk about a Manhattan Blognic?
Someone suggested perhaps Easter Monday.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Darn, can’t make it next Monday… everyone who can, best wishes!
Could we do an encore after the Holy Mass in D.C. on 24 April?
I should certainly come unless unavoidably prevented. What part of town would be most convenient? I gather from Father’s posts that he is not inconveniently far from the Thirties.
I could make it, barring a funeral that day.
Besides Monday, what other days are possible?
I have out of town company that day, unfortunately, so would not be able to make it.
I’ll wait for the Houston Blognic to make my presence.
A Manhattan blognic on Easter Monday would be great! I would enjoy seeing you and others while I am home from college on Easter break. Some friends of mine would enjoy the opportunity as well. Keep us updated and have a blessed Holy Week!
I would be very happy to attend and celebrate Dyngus Day!
I think I might be able to swing a Monday evening…Working on LI though, puts me in the Manhattan around 7, 7:30, with that brief pitstop home in Queens..Where and when?
Monday sounds like a good day.
Fr. Z, I hope you could come to DC on Apr. 24 to attend the Pontifical High Mass in EF at the Basilica Shrine, you will meet many priests of our Archdiocese who are planning to attend. I will also bring my parishioners.
I cannot make it, but I would love for you Father Z to come to the Greater Cincinnati area. :)
Monday would be fine for me. Any day that week other than Tuesday, too.
Two Fr. Z encounters in two months. Deo Gratias.
Ah! I’m in town for Easter and Easter Monday and might be able to actually swing it if it’s in the afternoon, depending on family obligations.
So, are we getting some consensus about an early evening blognic on Easter Monday in Manhattan?
I’ll actually be in NYC for Easter. It’s tempting, but I think I’ll be on the road headed back home by Monday. Unless, of course, it’s a blognic breakfast. Safe travels, Father.
Oh, I’d love to be in NYC for the blognic, Fr. Z-but I sure wish that someday you could come to the Upstate part of New York and have one up here!
Perhaps some concrete suggestions:
5:00 pm (they’re not open before then) at Top of the Strand
I’ve not been here, but the location seems convenient and the reviews (Yelp and Google) seem encouraging.
4:00 pm at The Ginger Man
I have been there, and remember it as being spacious with a very nice selection of beers, though the service was unspectacular. Yelp and Google
4:00 pm at Keen’s
Not at all cheap—though one can certainly find more expensive with no trouble—but one-of-a-kind. A very good place for traditionalists! Yelp and Google
I would go, and I am shore other NJ residents would cross the bridge/tunnel as well.
Early evening Easter Monday works for me!
How about Ulysses’ tavern on Stone Street in the Financial district? http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/ulysses01/

I mean the Ulysses on Stone street — not the one on Pearl.
I truly hope I am not out of line when I invite all to an event on Monday at Annie Moore’s…it is a good place for a Blognic, plus an excellent opportunity to hear a great speaker, have a drink and some food!….again- hope I’m not stepping on any toes!!
On Easter Monday, April 3rd, Fr. John Perricone will give his 2nd talk in the Dogma and Spirits series titled: “Is same-sex marriage a civil right?” The talk begins at 7pm and will be conducted in the lower dining room of Annie Moore’s restaurant, just outside Grand Central Station. The talk is sponsored by the Agnus Dei Knights of Columbus and is open to all.
The dining room will open especially for us at 6pm, so you can come early for dinner and drinks. Note, you can also order dinner during the talk. Though our first talk last month went swimmingly and was well attended with 30 people, Annie Moore’s requires a bigger [and hungrier/thirstier] crowd than that. In essence, we need to make it worth their while to open the lower dining area. Invite a friend or family member and consider having dinner and drinks with us. It’s Easter Monday, and during the octave we should celebrate in grand fashion.
Thank you in advance – a Happy Easter to you and your family.
Has something been decided as to exact time and place? As for me, I should find it helpful to know the details fairly soon (arranging work schedule) and perhaps others are in the same position.
Miss Gallagher, with regard to the talk by Father Perricone, does one need to advise anyone in advance of one’s intention to come, or just show up? Thanks.
Please just show up and enjoy! It is technically free, but most people donate a few bucks to Fr. for his efforts….I think the suggested is $5, but again, that is your call…feel free to give more!
