This year we will have our business meeting on Saturday afternoon at Holy Apostles Episcopal Mission House. It is scheduled for two hours where we will have discussion and visit with other member stores. We will break and meet later for dinne. This year we are having our dinner at the historic Landmark tavern. Just a 10 minute walk from the hotel.
In 1868 Patrick Henry Carley opened his Landmark Tavern, an Irish Waterfront Saloon. In those days there was no 12th Avenue, just the shores of the Hudson, on which his Tavern sat. Mr. and Mrs. Carley designed their new saloon to also be a practical home for their children on the second and third floors. This remained as such until prohibition forced them to turn the third floor into a speakeasy. As one of the oldest continually operating establishments in the City today, The Landmark Tavern still retains its classic old New York charm. We will be able to meet with our Supporting Vendors and have an evening of fun and fellowship, Sunday we meet at the Javits Center, site of the New York International Gift Show, NYNOW, where our Supporting Vendors will have set up their merchandise in our private meeting space. At noon everyone will be able to begin shopping the market. Seven blocks to the Hote!
