Also, were is this Mo's place? I"ll be taking a train into Penn Station... how do I get there from there?

I think there were subway directions in the pre-party at Mo's thread if you read through the whole thing. I'll need to write them down myself. Although I am not a huge fan of the subway.

Take the uptown E train from Penn Station to 51st St. (I think it's 5 stops), switch to the 6 train and take it to 77th St. The station is at 77th St. & Lexington Ave., Mo's is 76th St. & 2nd Ave.

That sounds confusing (two trains)?? I'm a Philly boy and the the subway only runs down Broad (unless you need to take the Market-L)... Is everything clearly marked?

How much for a cab from Penn Station to Mo's?

The signs in the subway are pretty good, you shouldn't have a problem. The signs will say uptown or downtown, not north or south. You want to go uptown.

Cabs are $2.50 when they drop the meter then $0.40 for each 1/5 mile ($2.00/mile). Mo's is probably 3 miles +/- from Penn Station so you're looking at $8.50, minimum, for a cab. The subway is $2.

Great... and if we drink too much at Mo's I assume that eveyone else is taking the subway back so we won't get lost?

Oh, I didn't say I wouldn't do it. I am just a big subway chicken. And I am so totally looking forward to the subway ride down to MSG together

You'll have to tell us more about the San Gennarno fest, and maybe I will stay in NY for a bit longer to check it out! (currently planning baseball Tuesday, Broadway Wednesday, Buffett Thursday.)

There's nothing to be afraid of on the subway, especially that time of day and in that part of NYC. I've been on the subway at 2:00 in the morning, and I don't own a gun.

Oh, I'm not so afraid of bad guys (oh, only a little

), more a general funky phobia about getting jostled about on crowded cars and in a crowded station. And always thinking I am going to screw up buying the metrocard or putting it in wrong. I just have to have something to worry about, you see

I'll just have to surround myself with parrotheads and go with the flow!
