Hello everyone!
As most of you know by now, Sunday Sept. 21 is the day of the People's Climate March and we expect a fabulous turnout here in the big apple! Check out the latest CUA! Diary for more info.
Marchers will be coming from far and wide, including several kossacks, so we've decided to plan a little post-march meetup at our favorite haunt, Spitzer's Corner, in the good ole Lower East Side of Manhattan. Not only will many of our NYC regulars be in attendance, we will also be joined by our very own boatsie! Good times!!! Details below...
Firstly, here is a link to the march website for all pertinent march info -
http://peoplesclimate.org/...
The march starts at 11:30 am at Columbus Circle and 59th St. in midtown and ends around 4:30 pm at 11th Ave. b/w 34th and 38th Sts. We are working on a Daily Kos banner so that those who are so inclined can march together as a group. (I'll update the diary later when we've worked out the details). The meetup at Spitzer's will start at 5 pm after it's all over.
Date: Sunday, Sept. 21, 2014
Time: 5 pm - ???
Place: Spitzer's Corner
101 Rivington Street (corner of Ludlow)
Meet us in the back room. This venue is wheelchair accessible.
Here is a link to their website:

The best way to get to Spitzer's from 11th Ave is to walk east to 8th Ave. and 34th St and take the downtown A, C or E train to West 4th St. Transfer there for the downtown F train to Essex/Delancey St. More directions:
Directions by subway: J,M,Z,F to Essex St./Delancey Street Station.
If you're coming in from outside the city:
From Grand Central: take the downtown 6 train (6 stops) to Bleecker Street Station, walk downstairs to Broadway-Lafayette station, change for the downtown F train (2 stops) to Delancey Street Station.
From Penn Station: walk one block east to 34th St/Herald Square subway station, take F train (10 stops) to Delancey Street Station.
From Port Authority Bus Terminal: take the downtown A,C, or E train to West 4th Street Station (4 stops), walk downstairs and take the downtown F train (3 stops) to Delancey Street.
Any of these trips takes about 20-25 minutes.
If you are driving, there's a very inexpensive municipal lot a block or two away, on Delancey Street. Street parking is free on Sundays.
* Please be advised that subway schedules are subject to serious messing around on the weekends, with lots of trains either not running or being diverted due to all kinds of construction projects. You can get more or less up-to-date info here:

The 'Weekender' app is available from the website for mobile devices and is a great tool!
ALL ARE WELCOME!!!
Even if you can't make the march, we'd love to see you at the meetup! Check out joanbrooker's fabulous photo diary if you need to be tempted by food pr0n : ).
Okay, I think that's about everything. RSVP in the comments or send me a kosmail. Include your personal email in the kosmail if you want to be added to the NYC meetup mailing list.
