Food52ers in New York City

I'll volunteer for helping out with the details..

I'll volunteer for helping out with the details..

Just in case of rain or bad weather we should have a plan B. What time is everyone thinking? 1 or 2 PM Sunday June 24th? We will also need to make sure we have paper plates, cups, utensils if its going to be pot luck. Is someone going to organize the details?

Madison Square park opposite Eataly (Madison & 23'rd) on Sunday June 24 then?? Sounds Awesome, Really hope the Food52 folk will be there as well.. the credit for building this sharing, caring bunch of cooks is all due to you!..
Lets decide on dishes that we'll bring , keeping in mind that it will be summer weather ..

on a crazier note, lets have a contest theme around what we bring in & have the KB, the guest of honor taste & decide on community picks on the spot! -- picnic foods that can withstand the summer heat!

I would absolutely come in from western Mass. to hook up; late June would be wonderful!!!!

If drunk discreetly, wine can be enjoyed in Madison Square Park. Decant the wine into a thermos or water bottle in advance. Drink out of paper cups, etc.

I think so we cannot have wine in highline park..and I agree with peter..we would draw lot of attention..but any place is fine with me...monday sounds fine with me...just lemme know which recipe of mine you all want to try and I would love to bring it...@panfusine - we can have wine at lot of places or parks in NYC..
@ everyone else - I am excited! to meet you all in person...

I used to be the Brooklyn Pug Meet-up organizer for 3 years. Meet-up is amazing I am still active in the NYC Pug Meet-up. YAY! I can't wait for June to get here.

Well, the first time I came across mee-up was on food52, there used to be the map app with pins and I always felt so excluded....because I could see all these meetups happening in the States but I had no one to meet up with (then I lived in The NEtherlands).

So the word struck a chord, and stayed put....and now I finally get to 'meet-up'...Yay.

And yes, its amazing how connected everything is. So the meet-up is underway. I can't stop saying it.

So it's Sunday June 24th, should I mark my calendar. What time is good. Oh, KB and everyone I am so looking forwarding to meeting you all and seeing others that I haven't seen in a while. This is a wonderful idea and will be so much fun.

(As an aside, I think it's ironic that you're using the word "meetup" to describe this event as I worked at Meetup.com for 3 years as their head of Product. It's nice to see the website coined a new generic verb/noun.)

I can do either Sunday or Monday and 2PM sounds great to me, Peter, would love to meet you and wish it were Monday would love the opportunity to meet some of the food52 staff. I agree about High Line with the crowd we would attract the park police. Madison Square Park is perfect and how wonderful to be across from Eataly for excellent provisions.

If Food52 staff are allowed to crash, I'm in. I'm good with either Sunday or Monday.

I'm not sure if you've chosen a location but you could do the High Line and get picnic treats from the Chelsea Market food hall... though I suspect that a large gathering on the High Line would draw the Park Police -- it's a very narrow space and there's also not a lot of shade.

Alternatively, you could use Madison Square Park and use Eataly across the street for provisions. There's plenty of shade here. This location has the added bonus of being just a few blocks from Food52 HQ which means if you did it on a Monday you might get to meet 2 or 3 or 5 or 8 of the staff members. ;-)

Sunday is fine for me, but any day depends on the time, I have to give my dog his insulin between 4-5PM every day. If it's earlier I can come.

Darn. forgot I'll be in Florida at son's baseball tournament that week. Have a great visit KB!

I'm flexible - Sunday would be good for me too....my only plans are meeting my foodie friends and all the other stuff people want to do in NY - eat! Momofuku, capuccino, blueberry muffins.... and hotdogs :-)

Seriously, Sunday would be fine. Whaddya think?

And also, the park police are sometimes very strict about drinking in the parks....just depends if you're lucky that day....

Looks like it works for me too, although later is better for me....but I can take off work if I need to!

Monday June 25 works for me! I'll bring whatever, plus some pinot grigio and/or punch type stuff

WAHH I wanna go! KB - please put Texas on your To Visit list as well ... we can for sure gather up some folks and potluck!!!

Overwhelmed and thrilled....really pleased. So, I'll be in NYC from the Thursday, 21st to Thursday, 28th. Is a Monday a good day for travel in NYC? If so, then can we make Monday, 25th June, 2012? And time? After the worst of the afternoon sun - say 2pm? Is this a realistic time? I have NO idea what obtains in NY ...as far as I'm concerned it is a planet.....a special planet and I am SUPER excited. Oh, you cant imagine! Lots of love ???

Ok, it looks like we have a big group to meet you, kb! Can we set a date? Time and place?

My kids live in Bklyn and I would love to meet you, KB, and you, Panfusine, and see my other buddies from the Metro Book Party! I will be sailing up from my niece's wedding on June 23rd and would absolutely hang around in NYC for a meet and greet!

We may be in California, not sure yet, but keep me posted anyway, please!

How exciting, KB! Keep me posted - I might be able to sneak away for a meet-up.

The High Line is gorgeous - we were there last Wednesday on one of the most beautiful Spring days.

I have to say it again - I am so looking forward to seeing faces...in flesh. This is so exciting for me, a real treat. The countdown begins...and this means I'll no longer feel like I'm missing out on all the meet-ups and get togethers I read about! Thank you!

Oooh yes, yes, I can come in from Long Island!

Count me in! Would love to meet up with you all!

I'm jealous! It sounds like a great time. I wish I could make it to NY in June :-(

I am also interested in meeting ya'all ...keep me in the loop..@ Kitchen Butterfly - hope you have energy to wait in a long queue for your visit to Carlos.. I used to live in Hoboken!

Are you planning to visit Brooklyn? I could go on forever about food you have to try! Keep me in the picnic loop ;)

I am super thrilled - thank you for ALL your responses. I am so looking forward to meeting you all! Unbelievable.

This would be so much fun, I love the idea of a picnic near Eataly!

I'd like to meet up, too. The park near Eleven Madison Park is a goodie, too. Or The High Line. That's really special.

YAAY.. Lets plan a lil potluck picnic for Kitchen Butterfly's visit!, casual, somewhere in central park or that park near Eataly.. it wd be awesome!

Oh I would love to meet you, I am in brooklyn, a very short train ride to the city. Panfusine I would love to meet you also!

I am jealous! When will you come to Seattle?

I'd love to meet you in Person, DO let me know when you'll be in town & I'll come up to NYC from New Jersey
