April CUNY Pie

Posted by Matthew K. Gold (he/him) on April 7, 2011 at 10:07 am

Hi All,

April 7 has crept up on me — it’s CUNY Pie night and we have nothing planned!

This was the week we were supposed to go to Queens — I was thinking that Nick’s would be the logical choice (http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/nicks-pizza01/).

I’d still be willing to head out there tonight if others can make it; otherwise, I’d be happy to postpone this trip until next Thursday.

Addition, if people wanted to get together tonight for an informal gathering at a more centrally located pizza place, I would be open to that, too.

What do you think?

Matt

  Hi All —
  
  Okay. CUNY Pie is officially off for this week and on for next week, April 14th.
  
  Is anyone else interested in a trip on that day to Nick’s in Queens?
  
  Best,

  Daniel — great! We can meet at 5:30 or 6 and head over. Let’s see who else is coming and then arrange a time.

  Ack, thought I could make it next week, but a look at my calendar (duh) reveals that I have a class at 6. Take pictures! Hopefully I’ll be in next month.

  Oh, please. A *truly* dedicated CUNY Pie Co-Founder would not be off cavorting in Iowa while essential pizza activities were going on in NYC!

  True, true…maybe one month of Iowa pizza is a suitable punishment?

  Hi All,
  
  So, here’s the situation: right now, three other people have shown interest in a trip out to Nick’s in Forest Hills. One of them is in Iowa. And I’m realizing that there’s no way I can make the trip out to Queens tomorrow.
  
  I’d like to propose that we still meet tomorrow, but that we get together in a more centrally located pizzeria. To be honest, for this visit I care more about just getting together and eating some good pizza than trekking out to someplace we haven’t yet been.
  
  So, I’d like to propose that we meet at Lombardi’s ( http://bit.ly/dQb41V ) at 6:15pm tomorrow. It was the site of the first CUNYPie gathering, but most of our members haven’t been there together. Who’s in?

  I can’t make it either now. Leading a workshop.

  Unfortunately, I have an ePortfolio meeting at that time. However, we will be eating pizza in observance of CUNYPie!!

  Hi All,
  
  I’m thinking that if no one else can actually make this, we should cancel it and just shoot for a May meeting. We can all eat pizza privately in penance.
  
  But I’m still open to going if others can make it — and even open to delaying it until 7 if more than one other person can show.
  
  Any takers?
  
  Matt

  Meant to add that I have a meeting from 4-5. I’ll check back in at 5 and then make a final call depending on how (or whether) people have responded.

  I may be able to make it but am not certain right now. Regardless, I vote for a May outing and request that it happen after the first full week.

  I want to go. I’ve never been to Lombardi’s, and I’ve missed the last few CUNYPie outings. But I’m sick, and I don’t want to get anyone else sick. But I want pre-Passover pizza. I’d love to convince you to postpone–but not to next week since I doubt Lombardi’s or anywhere else we could pick would serve matzo pizza!
  
  And as a solution to today’s dilemma, might I suggest that everyone eat pizza on their own, take photos, and blog about it.
  
  I propose a CUNYPie outing to follow the Gen Ed conference. Maybe we could go to Nick’s in Forest Hills then?

  Okay. Given the responses, I’m going to cancel this outing. I like Jody’s plan — “might I suggest that everyone eat pizza on their own, take photos, and blog about it.”
  
  I’m also in favor of a post Gen Ed conference trip to Nick’s!

  Pizza after the Gen Ed Conference should work for me, and I might even be able to drag the family along.
  
  Feel better, Jody!

  Great idea! And a feel better from me too, Jody!
