The group that met at Karcsma, the Polish restaurant in Williamsburg, in January 2020, is talking about getting together again in the late Spring around the time of the Kentucky Derby, maybe a little later, but certainly before the Preakness --- like last time, since most of us are retired or semi-retired, mid-week looks like the best bet
We have chatted about trying to meet at Kennedy's Restaurant, which is located on the bay side inside the Breezy Point Cooperative on the Rockaway Penisula, in South Queens --- it has good parking and is somewhat convenient for Long Island, Queens and Brooklyn, and it is a great year-round beach spot to have lunch --- a second possibility is London Lennie's. It's on Woodhaven Boulevard, just to the north of St. John's Cemetery at the intersection of 63rd Drive and Woodhaven Blvd., also in Queens; parking is OK, but not great, and there's no beach, but it's closer to the LIE and Northern Queens and Nassau.
As the plans get finalized, there will be updates
This group is happy to lunch with any and all Newmanites of all vintages, so think about trying to be there with us, if you'd like.
For those of us that want to channel our inner Kirk Douglas, maybe we can have a "Seven Days in May" Preakness Pool. Kirk made that movie in the mid-60s, just before anybody heard about his son Michael (who is more of our age) --- remember, Kirk made it well past a hundred, so there's hope for the rest of us.....
