there'll be time to meet on Tuesday and Wednesday. I don't necessarily have to go to bed THAT early! I'm used to irregular sleeping times and can always sleep later, let's say in June.

Haha. I don't care how you feel in the morning, Diet -- I care about my ability to drive us without crashing. You can sleep on the plane.
I just meant that the usual late-night bar-hopping on Wednesday won't be an option if we're going to get back to my house and then to JFK in the morning. But yup, like you said, there will be plenty of time on both days to meet. Mo will be taking off work on Wednesday so he can spend the day with whomever is in town.
Thanks for the info, SS. I wasn't sure if you were sure or not.

I just noticed your new sig line, Kel... 
I'll text some peeps if I can make it on Wed. for a few hours. I just have to clear it with my boss, which will be last minute, and make sure my car is running ok. Been having some issues with it lately.
Hope to see you all!
READY THE BLADE!

visions ALWAYS has the best avatar pics! How do you keep finding pictures I've never seen before, woman?!
Anyway...
My schedule is all kind of up in the air at the moment for next week, so you guys make your plans and I will try to make whatever I can. I need to find out if I have to work next Tuesday or not before committing to the day or dinner. If I don't have to work, I can meet up for daytime plans and dinner, but then will have to head out by around 9:30-10 to make the last (reasonable) train home to Philly.
For Wednesday is kind of up in the air as well, since I may have to be back in Philly that day, or I might not have to be. :/ I can't really plan beyond that.
Just hopefully will meet up with folks one way or another.

Thought you'd like that.
Thanks for the info, sock. Whenever you can get in would be faboo, of course.
I just chatted with Nancy, and she had some great thoughts on options for each day (and with weather patterns in mind) that she'll post a bit later.

People in town Monday evening:

IndyGirl
nancyrose
DM
(Gina, I'm ignoring you since you come in late.)
People in town Tuesday day:
Dietmar
IndyGirl
nancyrose
DM
GinaSuperCat
People in town for dinner Tuesday night (tentatively 6:30 @ Fat Annie's):
Dietmar
IndyGirl
nancyrose
DM
GinaSuperCat
Moeskido
Conroy
Susan
samburusunset
People in town Wednesday day/early evening (and yes, we'll need to eat dinner that night, too):
Dietmar
IndyGirl
nancyrose
DM
GinaSuperCat
Moeskido
samburusunset
policerule (maybe)
General maybe:
sockii
copeland_girl5
Locals who have mentioned wanting to meet:

Okay, here's the latest scoop on Operation Dietmar Comes to NY!
Monday: I will meet Dietmar at JFK at roughly 2:30 p.m., and we will head into the City to meet DM and Indygirl. The four of us plan to have dinner at Uncle Nick's (50th St. and 9th Ave.) at 6 p.m. If any locals or early-arriving travelers wish to join us, please let me know and I'll add to the reservation.
Note: this is all contingent upon Dietmar's flight arriving on time, so we'll need to be somewhat flexible and keep in touch. Fingers crossed.
Tuesday: Weather forecast looks good!
Our day begins around noon at the much-heralded New York CityPolice Museum (100 Old Slip). This is way downtown, near the South Street Seaport. For those traveling in to Penn Station, subway directions from there to the museum can be found here:
http://www.hopstop.com/
After the museum, we can walk up to the seaport for a bit, and then head over to the Mysterious Bookshop (58 Warren St - about a 15 minute walk).
By now, even with the inevitable snacks along the way, we're probably hungry, so we head up to Lombardi's (NYC's first pizzeria -- 32 Spring St. - about a 20 minute walk).
After pizza and a beer, we can stroll through SoHo up to Bleeker Street, stopping at Bleeker and Mott to pay homage to what used to be CBGB's, eventually heading up to Washington Square Park.
(If Dietmar is still in search of the perfect crime novel, we can get him over to Partners and Crime on Greenwich St.)
When it's time to head up to Fat Annie's we can hop on the F train at 4th St., getting off at Herald Square.
I'll bring maps/directions for all stops on this tour! Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes!!
Wednesday: Weather is iffy for this day, so I'm thinking indoors, with outdoor options.
We can meet at the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (5th Ave at 82nd St) at noon. Once we've had enough culture, weather permitting, we're right at Central Park, which is good for hours of cheap entertainment! (And if we cross the park over to the West Side, we can look up Sting and Trudie and see if they'd like to have us for cocktails!)
I'm checking out some restaurant/pub options on the Upper West Side, but I'll have to add those tomorrow.
Please jump in with any thoughts, suggestions, heckles, etc.
Can't wait to see everyone.

I know some great places to eat in the general area around the Met, if I can make it up on Wednesday (which is what I'm going to aim for, though I still need to head back home that evening). I'll see what I can pull together from my notes and recollections of what's where...

Sounds great, Nancy! Thanks for doing all the legwork. Good to have a bit of a schedule to work with. I'll make my travel plans accordingly.
Can't wait to see you all! Wooooooooooooo!!!!
Can we shoot over to Zarin Fabrics and see Jill and Brad while we're in the area?
