Hey there. An in-person meetup of fun and games at the Skylight Diner. Located at 402 West 34 Street on 9th Avenue in midtown Manhattan. We're meeting at 2 pm, at the request of the manager. I plan on showing up a little early to grab a bite. We've been here before, prior to Covid. The food is good, the company will be too. Seating is limited. So here are the guidelines. For this meetup, no outside food or drink. Make a purchase. Menu is at www.skylightdinernyc.com If you RSVP and cannot attend, change your RSVP to NO. Hope you can make it.
