Yes, that's mostly a list of compromises.

Great suggestion but you're right about the price. Zowey limba!

And they have the most bizarre website: http://www.friendofafarmernyc.com/

The country inn: http://www.oldinn.com/

Thanks for the correction to my English however I know a sentence that goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and that was one. Not this one of course.

I have a friend coming from Oregon with an allergy to cats so he can't travel in our car or visit our apartment because we have a cat which means we can't go to a favorite New England country inn for Thanksgiving, but (I'm into run-on sentences today) I'd still love to give him a New England Thanksgiving dinner in a New England setting except it has to be in NYC. <whew>

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Minding
