Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: Liam's Brother Date: 15 Nov 01 - 04:07 PM Hi annamill and smallpiper! The subway directions are correct.
All the best, |

Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: InOBU Date: 15 Nov 01 - 02:12 PM Nope the subways are running everywhere except Chambers Street, where the station was destroyed, all else is basicly back to normal. Hungery for a bit of Ethopian food??? Larry |

Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: annamill Date: 15 Nov 01 - 01:42 PM Dan, I don't think the subways go down to Fulton any more, do they? I think they just go down to Canal Street. L.A. |

Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: InOBU Date: 15 Nov 01 - 01:28 PM Hey Guys! Here's an idea... and cheep! For diner there is a GREAT ethiopian restaurant on west 47th street called Meskerem. 468 47th to be exact. Meals are served on a huge central platter on a peice of bread unique to Ethiopia. Everyone gets some of the bread on a side dish as well. It is like a cross between bread and a crepe. Well, the food is great, from spicy to mild vegitarian or carnivor. How bout a New York Mudcatter get together with the Small pipers. I can try and cooerce John Maynard, a local NYC small piper to show up as well. Shall we knock around a few dates? If you never caught Ethiopian cusine, well you missed one of the great joys in life, equal to well... missing a Bernie Clay concert. No offence to Bernie if he catches this, just seemed funny at the time and with the coment about singers who claim mertime affiliation... well I couldn't help my self.... but I digress.... DINER, how bout it? Cheers Larry |

Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: Liam's Brother Date: 15 Nov 01 - 11:49 AM Another Saturday night event is the monthly sing at the Seamen's Church Institute in lower Manhattan. That starts at 2000 and lasts until 2300, so you could go to that and the Irish music session. The SCI is at 241 Water Street. From your hotel, you would take the southbound A or C subway trains from 8th Avenue and 59th Street directly to the Broadway-Nassau stop. Within the station, follow the signs for "South Street Seaport" and "Fulton Street." When you are above ground, you should walk down Fulton Street towards the East River. At Water Street (second street within the pedestrian precinct), make a left. If the door is locked, just tap on the glass with your wedding ring and it will be opened. |

Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: Liam's Brother Date: 15 Nov 01 - 11:36 AM Certainly. Give an idea about your price range and tastes. |

Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: GUEST,Smallpiper at Work Date: 15 Nov 01 - 09:22 AM Thanks Liams Brother - I think that we'll be there (unless thats when Mrs S has booked us to see a 'Show')We have to do the tourist thing as well! Any suggestions for good eating places etc? |

Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: Liam's Brother Date: 14 Nov 01 - 10:03 PM Okay, smallpipers... this is still true... On Saturday nights between 2100 and 0100 there's a session with fiddler Brian Conway at O'Neill's (Third Ave & 45th St). That is free but, of course, you would have to buy a drink.

Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: Suffet Date: 14 Nov 01 - 07:52 PM Janice, Thanks for the plug, but the Smallpipers are not arriving until December 5. Of course, anyone who will be in NYC the night of December 1, 2001, is certainly more than welcome to come enjoy the show. Think of it as an old time hootenanny, with Jessica playing the part of the Earth Mama, Frank in the role of Crusty Old Sailor, Joel appearing as the Angry Young Man with Guitar, and me being the Jewish Boy from Brooklyn who has somehow sprouted an Oklahoma accent. Come prepared to sing along on many of the songs. --- Steve |

Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: GUEST,Janice in NJ Date: 14 Nov 01 - 05:50 PM There will be a folk concert at Sun Music Company on Saturday, December 1st, at 8 in the evening. That's at 340 East 71st Street on the Upper East Side, close to 1st Avenue. For just 10 dollars you get to hear four really good and very different but typical New York folkies. They are Frank Woerner, Steve Suffet, Jessica Feinbloom, and Joel Landy. Joel is the host of a folk show on cable television and has mostly a liberal-left political following. Jessica is this a woman with a big booming voice and who does a lot of gospel stuff. Frank is a chanteyman who plays concertina. And Steve is -- well he's Steve and you'll never know what you'll get. |

Subject: RE: BS: Visiting NYC From: Liam's Brother Date: 12 Nov 01 - 11:29 PM Well, smallpipers... On Saturday nights between 2100 and 0100 there's a session with fiddler Brian Conway at O'Neill's (Third Ave & 45th St.). That is free but, of course, you would have to buy a drink. On Sunday afternoon, 2DEC, there's this... South Street Seaport Museum's Sea Music Concert Series continues on Sunday, December 2nd with special guest Captain Rick Nestler. Virtually any singer claiming a nautical title has usually tested little more than tepid bathwater. Not so Captain Rick Nestler, who holds a 100-ton U.S, Coast Guard Master's License. A veteran of the ecological sloop, 'Clearwater,' he is currently captain of the schooner 'Argia' of Mystic, Connecticut. Well-traveled Captain Rick has sung on every type of stage from concert halls to festivals to jook joints between St. Thomas and Toronto, California and Maine. His repertoire contains the traditional songs of his native Hudson Valley, deepwater chanteys, and songs about his personal experience such as "The River That Flows Both Ways" recently recorded for Sony Records by his good friend Pete Seeger. Captain Rick Nestler accompanies himself on 12-string guitar and tenor banjo. South Street Seaport Museum's Sea Music Concert Series is hosted by the museum's own maritime singing group, The New York Packet and is co-sponsored by the New York Folk Music Society. The Sunday, December 2nd concert will be held in the South Street Seaport Museum's Whitman Gallery, 209 Water Street (between Fulton and Beekman Streets) in Manhattan. It begins at 3 PM and the suggested donation is $3. |
