Title: Future gathering in: New York City?
Post by: Barnes on November 25, 2007, 06:05:53 PM
I wanna visit New York someday in the future, but I though maybe make the trip a gathering idea.
Bear in mind I'd like to wait more than a year or so from now so that I can save enough money to go.
I wanna visit the five boroughs:

-The Bronx (Yankee Stadium)
-Brooklyn (Coney Island, if it will still be around)
-Manhattan (Central Park)
-Queens (Catch a Mets game?)
-Staten Island (???)

I'm thinking maybe in 2009/2010, so hopefully I'll have enough cash to visit them all.
or
If I win the Lottery, I'll treat everybody in the FaniMafia that wants to go. ;D

What do you think?

Yeah, hopefully by 09/10 i'll have enough money to become part of the NYC gathering....along with the foods and stuff, i'd like to see how NYC's transit system is like as well. ^^

All in all, i'm in. ^_^

Wow, I'm surprised someone finally launched the idea of a Fanime gathering TRIP.  That's like on an airplane and stuff.  That'd be fun, but dang, that'd put a hole in our wallets.  NYC is a great place though especially the diverse selection of foods.  'Cept, ou'll see a TGI Fridays like on every other block, heh heh. XD

Let's start small and have a road trip to Knoxville to see the Sun Sphere and that Andy Williams concert!

Uhm... I don't think Hiro would find a "Yatai" in the middle of New York. He might find a hot dog stand... but not a Yatai.

PS: A "yatai" is a ramen cart

eh in this day, you never know. sorry for the lame spelling = retard in japanese.

but it works. I think a nice bowl of hot (good) ramen would be good during the chilly weather...

i think someone should start a new Ramen Cart Trend. maybe for fanime?

w00t.

Is there even a JapanTown in New York City?

I'm predicting that, if the gathering does become real, I imagine that it will be narrowed down to this:

-Only 6 people from the Forums will be able to make it (Me and probably RyuHayabusa among 4 others)
-2 people NOT from the Forums will join in our group (Don't ask)
-We will most likely end up spending our time walking around Manhattan the whole time we are there.

Those are just random thoughts from my head.
