Uhm....yeah...somethin...sorry

 

 

anyway yeah 34th Street sounds good to me...its definitely the better lunch location. So I definitely want that to be the spot we have lunch.

Not only that, it will be cool if we walk down to Penn Station and snap a few pics of M7s and Comets before continuing on our trip. It's still railfanning right?

The 34th St. plan is a good idea. We should throw in an extra 5-15 minutes for the lunchtime then, since we'll be taking pics of buses and railcars there.

It has better food selections for fact. Mickie D's is everywhere (i remember the one at 35th and 6th), there is a Wendy's at Eighth. A Chinese buffet next to it. T.G.I Fridays near them. Dunkin Donuts and a steakhouse are near 7th, Fat Annie's Truck Stop at 33rd Street, Ranch 1 at 36th and Broadway, Korean food places along 32nd Street (look Woorijip, I believe)... just too many to name.

These joints are all spread out around the area. I suggest that we meet by at some location at some time. Manhattan Mall will work?

Not really, ;).

 

 

 

Since we are going to Penn. Why not meet up around the walking street between 33rd Street and 34th Street just off 7th Ave.?

No, Manhattan Mall is certainly better. Just the first floor, it's not that hard to find each other.

 

By the way, now that you mentioned it, Roy Rogers and Nathans at 33/7.
