Liz - would you please add the list of the info you would like us to PM you to your post ?
Thanks.
on the locked thread. You rock!
10 may be a better idea Liz, since we would like to get in some sightseeing, still get back in time to primp, and have a drink!
Note re Carnegie Deli. No reservations or private room due to it's their busiest day and time. Should we move time to 10:00 which may be less busy and give us more time to sightsee? Should we turn it into breakfast and go even earlier?
Know I remember thinking this - - but not sure I said it - -
What if we ask the nice people at Carnagie Deli what time they would suggest once we have a rough idea of how big the group is ? 
Okay, let's start the Deli list before I call them-good idea AH! PM
me if you want to join us at the Deli, and put whether you'd prefer
to do breakfast at 9:00 or midmorning at 10:00...
Here's the write up from their web site. Sounds like we can at least
warn them that we're coming...

Just to add to the confusion, I just heard that soon Coney Island will be gone due to new developers,etc. Don't know if this is truth or rumor (Diane?) I really would like to visit there once if this is the case.Sounds like it's last stop on train, about 45 minutes out of
where we'll be. Anyone else have any interest in this for either
Sunday or Monday morning?

NOTE: this is not a suggestion that we try to do Coney Island - -
just a bit of information in response to UHadMeAtWooHoo's question
Think Diane is off playing - - but here's some info on the plans for Coney Island
Even a quick casual search brought up a lot - - found the first mention going back to an article dated September 18, 2005
One fairly recent piece on the plans that seems reasonably fairly presented

Comments from the "mayor" of Coney Island upon his resignation
Coney Island surf should remain working people's turf

Partial quote- - - -
That is why I recently wrote Mayor Bloomberg telling him I plan to resign as a director of the Coney Island Development Corp. (CIDC) effective Tuesday, when the city will present its latest plan supposedly designed to transform the area into a year-round attraction. Plunking 30-story hotels onto land that should offer bumper cars and other amusements is not the way to save the city's "working man's Riviera."

We don't have time for both Coney Island and Carnegie Deli on Sunday morning.. alas too much to do! I also want to be awake for the play... I can be at Carnegie Deli anytime we decide.
My four-some will do the Deli at whatever time is decided but I think a little earlier than 11 is a good idea.
This isn't a PM, however.
