Disclaimer:A lot of this information can be inaccurate, so feel free to post new information in the thread.
Since the last LAN thread was quickly rushed by me, because everyone wanted something to happen in New York City, but I could not accommodate everyone. This time, I am making an interest thread that will lay out all the details where you can decide where do you want this to take place. I will most likely plan this during Winter Break, so weekday meet ups are an option. Also, I will be bringing a copy of mini-SC with iCCup Launcher, as well as current maps in case there are no installed machines.
The main problem with hosting the LAN in the NYC general area is that a lot of TLers are spread apart. Here are the options that I have laid out, with the pros and cons. Note: Almost all the PC Bangs are going to be much more expensive, due to the NYC effect.
Manhattan K-Town:There is a PC Bang there where the price is about 4.50 an hour. Of course, this place is reachable by mass transit, but driving and finding free parking space will be a hassle. If someone could fill me in on what happened in the NYC LAN #1, I will put more information here.
New Jersey:I don't know about this area, but I feel that the main problem is that the location might be too far for people without cars. Unless there is a way TLers could carpool, or find mass transit easily, I doubt this location will happen. Although, the PC Bangs are probably going to be cheaper than the ones in NYC.
Manhattan Chinatown:I do not know if there are any PC Bangs in the area, but the possibility that this area has one is high, and probably will be much cheaper than the one in K-Town. Free parking, as well as driving to Chinatown could be a nightmare, and the location might be dingy and smoky. Mass transit should not be a problem.
Brooklyn Chinatown:There are a few PC Bangs in this area, but I do not know the locale well, except that they are mostly in small rooms. Rates are about 3.50-4.00 per hour. No traffic problems as far as I know of. Mass transit should not be a major problem.
Flushing, Queens: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=99701
This is the place for the NYC LAN #2 meetup. Cyber Icon did not have the new maps, nor iCCup launcher on their machines, so we had to search and download them.
Now that I have listed out the locations, here are a couple of polls:

Im pretty sure there was a PCBang right across the street from the Korean supermarket I always go to. Too bad K-town in Herald Square is like a block long and the food is EXPENSIVE.

Remember that we're going into the Korean part of Flusing, not the Chinese part. Also, I'm thinking of a mass trek to 53rd and 6th (Chicken and Rice) afterwards if it's hosted in Manhattan K-Town, or to a nice restaurant in the area.
Anyone up to Sfydjklm's offer of poker? |
