Hi Guys... let's see, Meskerem is at 468 West 47th Street tel 664 0520 (1 212 first if you are out of Mannhattan). If you are in mid town, the theater district, walk west on 47th street a few blocks, to around 9th Ave. I believe this is just before 9th between 8th and 9th on 47th. New York is on a square numeric grid, so it is very easy to find your way around. For the most part, numered streets start at 1st street, about 1/4 of the way up the island, and proceed getting higher as one goes from south to north. So downtown, south the numbers get smaller, uptown, north the numbers get higher. Then the avenunes, first Ave is east, and the numbers get higher as you go west (towards California). The streets are devided east to west at 5th Ave. So west 47th street is west of 5th, and one can guess that the numbers get higher by 100 as you proceed west, so the four hundered block will be around 9th.
So the first thursday in December, we will be at Meskerem, say 7 pm?
Cheers Larry
