Does this mean you will be in NYC?

Indeed it does, do not know our schedule at present though. It would be great to link up, I'll have to get back to you.

That would be great! Let me Know and I'll hook up one of those 48oz Prime Dried Aged Porter house Steaks. You can bring your own wine if you like, if you checked the wet/dry thread on your last post you know my preference...
