We will meet at the Rubin Museum of Art at 11:30. We can have a nice lunch in their modern cafe. Admission is "free" to the book talk with $10.00 museum admission. The Rubin Museum (www.rmanyc.org) is at 150 W. 17th St. off of 7th ave. That's just one short block from the 18th street station of the Number 1 line.There are also several parking lots on nearby blocks.
After the talk (which is scheduled from 1:00-2:00) we can walk over to Books of Wonder, browse, and enjoy our cupiecakes.
I will not be making any reservations. The cafe is fairly large and I think we should be fine.
If anyone is interested, please let me know sometime before the 28th.
edited to add: And I finished "The Book Thief" so now I feel prepared!
