NYC-area blogger picnic rained, er, in(doors)

The weather predictions haven't changed all week--scattered thunderstorms are expected this coming Sunday. Since we'll have enough worries about being hit by metaphorical bolts of lightning on Yom Kippur (oy), I thought it best to avoid the literal lightening bolts and move the blogger picnic to Kosher Deluxe. Yes, it's a bit more public than many of us would have liked, but I chose this particular restaurant because it's somewhat more off the beaten path than the kosher fast-food places near the main Macy's store at Herald Square . Subway riders can take the F train to the 47-50th Street/Rockefeller Center station or walk from Central Central Station, which would be a good place for out-of-towners to hop off the train.

(There are plenty of vegetable and fruit salads, a salad bar, and cooked vegetarian items available for vegetarians, if you don't object to your food being prepared with meat/fleishig utensils, etc. And those of you who don't have "hollow legs" :) and wish to spare their budgets may find, as the Punster and I do, that just about all the dinners are big enough for two).

Keep your eyes open for this older woman, dressed in this and this (see second photo). (I'll probably be roasting, since the temperature is expected to hit the upper 80's, but I don't want anyone not to come just because they think my clothing is insufficiently tzanua/modest.) I'll pass around a notebook for signing in, with one column for our blogger names and one for our real ones--we can pass it around among ourselves, so that we don't have to come out of the closet as bloggers to anyone who isn't at our table(s). The Punster and I are looking forward to meeting you there at (or around) 4 PM.

So nu, who's coming?
