We (maya_a and I) will be making every effort to get there. Much depends on M's mom being able to come by and keep the kids from destroying the world this place.

This is a possibility. Our summer schedule is remarkably busy but I think I might be able to squeeze this in.

So.. a tentative yes, and yes, I suppose I can get the donuts en route.

I think I can come! Will need subway instructions, though ^_^;

Assuming you are taking the PATH, it would be easier to head to 33rd Street and take the F to Queens from there.

Take the F to 71st Avenue/Continental Avenue, and then go outside and seek the Q64. You can find this bus on the block that has a branch of the Ridgewood Savings Bank. You get the bus not right next to the bank, though, but at the top of that block, next to a couple of fenced-off plots of grass and bushes. (Be careful not to get on the bus that isn't the Q64 because that doesn't go near us.)

The Q64 will take you across Flushing Meadows Park. Once across the park, you will get off at the corner of Jewel Avenue (the street the bus runs on) and Main Street - it should be the fifth stop on the other side of the park. You will know you are there when you see businesses coming up on both sides of Jewel for the first time.

Once you get off the bus, go back a few feet and turn left on Main (the street numbers should be going up.) Walk to 71st Avenue, and turn left. Go one block to Vleigh and turn right, and then go one block to 71st Road (yes, it's confusing - welcome to Queens) and turn left. We are the fourth house on the far side of the block on the second floor.

If you get lost, my cell is 347 420 3618.
