Yellows- expensive, beholden to traffic and not accesable on the brooklyn
end.
Call Car(Car-mel/TelAviv) EXPENSIVE Car-Mel: ONE WAY is $37 + tip/toll +
$10/15 addition stop in Bklyn or $5/13 additional stop in NYC
Not sure about local Bklyn car services but there aren't any in nyc

Actually,
additionally on this topic, we should do what I recommended before
which is that we get a cab from Manhattan to Brooklyn on NYLXS for
suttling a group of people from Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn on
Sunday Night. It can also drop Gastara off in Bay Ridge.
Not a Yellow Cab, but a call and they come ride.
Or we should work out a car pool since the transit on Sunday nights
is so poor.
This should be more or less a relaxing social event, with an open house
here in Brooklyn for guests as a prelude to moving into Downtown
Brooklyn or Manhttan (below chambers street). So far, it's been
more stressful than it needs to be. It should be a a relaxing meeting
with Beer, Food and good conversation open to many regulars.
There is a 40 foot living room here (a little larger than your apartment)
connected to a 35 foot dining room, with air conditioning and a 30 foot
kitchen
We need to get the phone patch as well.
Thnx
Ruben
