Let's eat Kosher Pizza at Basil Thursday 10/21/10

Subject: Let's eat Kosher Pizza at Basil Thursday 10/21/10

I've talked with some folks off line, and there seems to be some interest in going to Basil (a pizza place that it is run by Orthodox Jewish folks but open to everyone). It's on Kingston Avenue.

More info about the place can be found here: http://www.brooklynian.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=59638

Everyone is welcome.

So far I've jabbered with LaurelB of Nostrand Park, HisCrownHeights, Clayfilms (via HCH) and Mrs. Whynot. We are already at 5.

A group of -say- 8 people would be ideal. More would certainly be welcome.

Here are my first three thoughts:

1. We obviously should not attempt to go on a Saturday, when it will be closed. 8) ....I dunno, maybe Thursday 10/21/10 at 7:30 PM? ?

2. While they serve pizza, it is Kosher ....hence it will be a little more expensive than folks are used to, and without pork or shrimp. ....Fear not, my extensive research has shown that pizza can be yummy with other toppings.

3. Unlike some Brooklynian get togethers, this event won't be at a bar ....those folks who seek an alcohol focused event will be disappointed.

discuss....

sounds like a plan to me..how about Thursday tho...the hubby and I are busy on Wednesday nights.

Tada. Thursday it is.

I'm so In!

Where should we meet to get "comfortable" or should we dive in and just show up at 7:30 PM at Basil?

+2

Have plans later that night, but could probably stop in briefly from about 7:30-8:30

fun with basic math!

LauraB and Mrs. Whynot can't come.
5-2 = 3

However, a longtime lurker and friend is coming
3+1 = 4

Longtime poster Christina is coming with someone else
4 + 2 = 6

Mougar will likely show
6 + 1 = 7

SnowboardQ is in
7 + 1 = 8

I want to come!!! But I have a meeting that night.... boo. I can't wait to hear how it was. I'll drag the husband with me if it seems worth the walk.

Send the husband without you.

i teach thursdays, so "next time" for me, too.

8 + 0 + 0 = 8

-1, my thing thursday is earlier than first though

I am a very solid maybe.

8 - 1 + ? = 7

Long Time poster Big Guy says he is in

7 + 1 = 8

I hope to come too. There's a 50/50 chance I might have to bail at last minute, but I hope not - that article has made me very curious about this place.

I won't be able to get together before 7:30, but others should feel free to drink at Basil beforehand (or somewhere else).

As a result of seeing her yesterday, I have convinced my "GFF" Em26 that this is a good idea. http://www.brooklynian.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=9591

8 + 1 = 9

plus about 3 maybes. So, between 9 and 12 people.

I'll stop by Basil on Tues or Wed evening to let them know a good size group will be joining them on Thursday.

If you haven't RSVP'd, please post on this thread before then.

SUMKINDADOPE.

The staff at Basil has been advised to expect a party of between 8 and 12 people.

Stella, Brooklyn, Blue Moon and Ying Ling are available on tap.

7:30 pm
Thursday April 21
located at Lincoln and Kingston

see you there....

Nice work!

We are here

I am unfortunately running so late that I may not make it.

This shoot has no ending in site:(. Please say there will be another visit.

Resulting in 8. Discuss....

Great night! Good pizza and fab people! We even met a lurker who stopped by just to say hello.

we really had a awesome time. REALLY. we must again. we even talked to the owner. We appreciate the privilege to be invited to something so grand.

twas fun.

.....we will choose a different location next time.

As expected, Basil didn't seem to mind being "integrated" by us one bit.

...pizza was yummy as well.
