As ridiculous as it is, I live here, and probably won't be able to make the show. But I am all about some sort of hanging out before or after (not that I post enough for anyone to have any idea who I am, but whatever). I'll be spending most of that weekend at my primary job which is basically at the W 4th subway station, which contains the A, C, and E trains among others, which are the closest trains to the Javits. West 4th is in Greenwich Village, (unfortunately in the crappy overpopulated by NYU side), where there are many excellent places to eat(not many with large seating areas), and many mediocre bars. And kudos to whoever mentioned Duke's! That place is great, but their chicken fried steak needs some work (but I've never had a great one in NYC).
