NYC TCers will gather for Mai Tais at Shun Lees at 43 W 65th Street at 6:00 PM on Thursday, August 23. This place has the best Mai Tais in NYC. Hope to see you there.


Cheers,
Ray

I haven't met any fellow NYC TCers yet, and this sounds like a great opportunity...

I'm in. (I'll be the confused looking guy with the Mai Tai).

LOL. I'll be easy to spot -- in a SHAG hawaiian shirt. In fact, just wear something tiki-ish.

Nicole and I spoke with Lenore (Tikilicious) and Steve (just Steve I guess) over the weekend and they may be in for Thursday as well.

The bar may want to take an orgeat inventory before we get there.

Wait a minute, I thought I was going to be the confused looking guy with the mai tai...this could make things very confusing indeed.

See you all thursday

Sounds like a great way to start off the NETT!
D & I will pop in after work for a drink or two. I'll be the kooky redhead with the cute bald guy (it's ok, he knows he's bald.)

I'm supposed to have dinner with friends at that time, but in case it gets canceled, and it might, I'll go.

Sounds like we'll have a good crowd on Thursday. The bar is right there wehre you enter and is usually pretty empty (most people are there for the restaurant), so we shouldn't have any trouble recognizing each other.

Great people, great mai tai's and a gracious place that basically let us close them down for the night. We had a wonderful time.

I look forward to more NYC events and if I have any ideas I will post them here on TC.

Thanks for the pics Jack.

Aloha from the Big (Pine)Apple!

Sorry this is so late, and we've mostly recovered from the NETT...

Thank you so much Urban Tiki for pulling this event together, and we're looking forward to the next one!
