    Cho Cho San is but an initial suggestion, not set in stone. Other options presented to me have been Slate or SPiN, if we wanted to do billiards or ping-pong while having a few drinks.

    slate is a boss place to go and ought to be pretty uncrowded on a weeknight; it is also in a pretty clubby neighborhood so we can always go somewhere else after that.

    So this is a trap, right?

    Like, Khoo arrives, you go to the Japanese place, but then as he steps inside, the floor gives way, and suddenly he's running a gauntlet against 3 other business geniuses in a test of strength, agility, intellect, and who can pull the craftiest face.

    If it isn't yet, you're welcome.

    Why yes, there will be Bananagrams.

    Japanese sounds fine to me, but being that I am a fan of food in the most basic sense, I am not picky. Like I am always inclined to suggest, we could shoot for Fette Sau (barbecue garage of the Gods), but I know how Khoo feels about Brooklyn...

    Actually, I don't know how Khoo feels about Brooklyn. Khoo, how do you feel about Brooklyn?

    Also, Goose, stop being that; everybody likes tonakatsu (also, <3)

    I vote Tuesday over Monday, mostly because I have plans to go to Six Flags on Monday and I love me some roller coasters.

    As for locales I'll be honest and say I'm more concerned with the drink specials than the food items on the menu, so unlimited sake sounds good to me. If we don't end up going to Cho Cho San, I still vote for Manhattan. Besides, the last time we went to Brooklyn I found Robert roaming around looking for the bar while I was roaming around looking for an ATM.

    While Fette Sau sounds amazing and I'm sure I would eat enough pig until I hated myself, it probably is best to avoid that meat heaven because there are likely to be vegetarian friends among us.

    In a not-unrelated note, even though I love my borough I think we should probably try to stick to Manhattan rather than Brooklyn, if only to even out everyone's travel times. Like, it's pretty easy for people to get from Jersey to Manhattan, but it would add in quite a bit more time if they had to ride into Brooklyn afterwards.

    I've never been to Slate, though it looks like it could be a pretty fun spot so long as there aren't a ton of people there, and on a Monday or Tuesday I think it would probably be fine. It also looks like Khoo can school us in ping pong there. I'll add it to the list of potential locations!

    I guess we should also figure out, are more people interested in food and drinks, or just drinks?

    Drinking is a thing I like to do, but if we have any youngins along... well, yeah, sorry duders.

    Also, wherever we go to eat, we should make sure that seating is adequate. Being crammed into a tin box sounds rather uncomfortable.

    After some thought, I'd like to propose Water Taxi Beach Bar (the South Street Seaport location).

    Yes it has ping pong.

    It also has alcohol, food, skee ball, and is generally just a fun outdoor location.

    This is the place where I had my first bacon dog. mmm bacon dog.

    Water Taxi Beach does sound like an amazing time (and oh god I want a bacon dog now) but it looks like it's closed Mondays and Tuesdays, which sadly are the days we have available to us for this. :( Although George Clinton's 70th Birthday Funkabration is on July 27th...hrm...

    I had no idea they were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I tried to call to confirm but finding a phone number for them is taking more effort than I'd like.

    That being said, I do enjoy outdoor revelry. It also makes for a roomy atmosphere that can fit a good-sized group. Does anyone know of a place in Manhattan with rooftop or backyard options? The first three that come to my mind are Bar 13, Tonic East, and some place I can't remember the name of on 5th between 26th and 27th.
