We're meeting at a new location. Cook is located at 115 West 45 Street. It's next to Connelly's between 6th and 7th Avenues. There's an upstairs area where we can sit, eat and play games. Let's gave this place a try. Make a purchase downstairs, then come up and join us. NOTE - you must climb stairs to reach the upper level. There is no elevator. Nearest train stops are 42 Street on several subway lines. The 47 - 50 Street stop on the D and F lines is slightly closer. Check mta.info for detours and rerouting of subways which often happens on weekends. Looking forward to this. RSVP and join us
