Feel
free to participate in any or all of this stuff. You will be in one of the
coolest cities in the world and we want you to have fun!
WEDNESDAY
MAY 1ST:
I know a
few people may be planning on coming a bit early so we will throw this out
there. The Yankees are playing the Houston Astros at 7pm. If you are interested in going to the
game, let Dan know and he can get some tickets for anyone who is interested.
(No one cares about the Astros so the tickets will be cheap! About $20.)
THURSDAY
MAY 2ND:
All
sorts of free time scheduled for Thursday as we figure everyone will be coming
in at different times and getting settled. We will be having a little cocktail
time if you are in town from 6 to 9pm at Swig Bar (2nd Ave and 85th Street). Otherwise,
do your thing!
FRIDAY
MAY 3RD:
Wedding
Day! Everyone is asked to gather in Carl Schurz Park (the 86th Street Plaza, 86th St at East End Avenue) by 11:45 at the latest. We
will walk down the “aisle” at 12pm sharp for a quick ceremony, after which
everyone will hop in cabs for the 15 min ride to The Third Man. We will have a few folks at the park to
facilitate cabs and we will have specific directions printed for everyone to
give to their respective cabby. This ride should cost around $25 with tip per
car of four people. You will be our guests for snacks and bubbly at The Third Man beginning around 1pm, and for an early dinner, which will be served a few feet down the road at Edi and the Wolf. The reception will last until 4:30 after which everyone is free to
do whatever they like.
If you
feel like joining up for more festivities, at 8pm, the new Mr. and Mrs. Morton will
head back to The Third Man to finish out the night. Then, before you turn into a pumpkin, hail a cab back to your place,
wherever that may be!
SATURDAY
MAY 4TH:
One last
hurrah will consist of picnic lunch at 12:30 on the Great Lawn in Central Park
(precise coordinates to come). Bring whatever you want to eat from one of the
thousands of delis in the Big Apple. We will have plates and cups and utensils, plus the Frisbees and whatnot and
hope to just make a relaxing afternoon of it. If you can make it, great; if you
can’t, no worries. If it rains or there is a tornado we can figure out something
else. Perhaps some museum time or a good movie…
That’s
it! Pretty easy and simple! Just the way we wanted it!
