How about Sunday July 20th, 6pm? As I live/work in Manhattan, I would prefer if it's reachable by subway since I don't have a car. http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm >.

I'm not around on the 20th either.

But please include me in future gatherings (my email address is in my profile).

I think the Radegast Beiergarten in Williamsburg ( http://nymag.com/listings/bar/radegast-hall/ ) would be a great place to meet (long tables, beer steins, sausages) and it's very accessible for people of all boroughs (first stop in Brooklyn on the L-Bedford Ave). It tends to get crowded on Weekend nights but should be comfortable on a Sunday evening. Full Disclosure: I live in Williamsburg. That said, I'm more than…

That sounds good, but I think some YCers may be under 21.

Is this an issue for anyone?

I'm thinking about taking the Bolt Bus over from Boston. I know Radegast well, I actually used to date a waitress there.

I live in Brooklyn myself, but Williamsburg isn't terrible convenient. It's equally inconvenient for people coming from UES/UWS and NJ. It would be best if we picked something equally accessible to everyone - in my experience Union Square West Village are usually good middle grounds.

That said, I'm definitely interested. Don't think I'd be able to do it on 7/20, but we should make it a regular thing (and even rotate location). Can we make a Google Group for this or something?

That's a good point. I went ahead and created a Google Group in the event that this becomes a regular thing (http://groups.google.com/group/nyyc). From here on out I suggest we use the Google forum to suggest locations, dates, etc.
