POINT BLANK NIGHT II: March 10, NYI at Toronto
Hockey talk, a raffle, maybe a guest and more
Point Blank Night 2 is set for Tuesday, March 10 from 7:30-10:30 pm at Gabrielle’s Brasserie & Wine Bar in Rockville Centre when the Islanders play in Toronto.
Once again I’ll be able to say thank you to all the readers that have made Point Blank a major hit.
The evening will include:
- Islanders - Maple Leafs on 3 screens
- Complimentary wine and appetizers, courtesy of Gabrielle’s
- Conversation and merriment with your fellow Point Blankers
- A raffle for Islanders tickets and all sorts of decent stuff
- Maybe a surprise guest or two. At PBN I, Sound Tigers head coach Jack Capuano was kind enough to join us and take questions
All of the above are free without any strings attached. Every Point Blank reader who shows up at Gabrielle’s has the opportunity to complete one raffle ticket by merely printing their real name and nothing else on it.
To answer the question in advance, no other great establishment on Long Island has stepped up to give us their entire bar and offer the level of service (and free stuff) that Gabrielle’s has. There is a possibility for one final PB Night toward the end of the season at a different joint to be announced. Negotiations are in the early stages.
Gabrielle’s is located at 22 North Park Avenue in Rockville Centre, next to the inappropriately named Fantasy movie theatre. The phone number is 516.536.6611.
Please let us know in Comments if you are coming so we can line up enough appetizers, wine and prizes for just about everybody. If you don’t live in the area, you don’t have to RSVP. We understand.

Savafan1 and I missed the last get together, so we are going to try and make it this time- it is half way between where each of us live, so I think it will work out.

Will be there with a few others from 303. Chris, will you autograph my copy of “Pride & Passion” if I bring it with me? Hey, maybe bring Stan along and do an official book signing
You know, come to think of it, if you have any copies sitting around, they would make great raffle prizes. -

-
Dmarie says:
When can I let you know for sure, how much advance notice do you need for the restaurant? It sounds great but like others living out on eastern LI its a hike, and I’m waiting on some friends to give me an answer if they can make it.
-

JPinVA says:
I was just checking out the place. It’s across from Kasey’s, formerly McQuades (miss that place… and those days).
Maybe we can have Miceli’s (Is that still there?) send some chicken parms out to Islander prospects who might be culinarily challenged.
Hope I can make it. -

Ryan says:
I think I’ll be able to make this one, Chris. I’ll RSVP for sure in your reminder thread a few weeks from now.
-
Mike from Oceanside…..”Carpooling” is beyond Sir William’s age demographic
…That’s like asking him if he wears leisure suits….i.e. way ahead of his time.
If you are gonna hitch a ride with him, be prepared to bring some hay and oats. (But no Hall and Oates eight tracks) -

19 ISLE in NJ 22 says:
CB – I was planning on showing up there with 3 other Isles fans on my team from NJ … but … I found out at last night’s practice that our first playoff game is Tuesday night
So that takes us out. We’ll each try to pot a goal in honor of your lil party … thanks for doing that. Keep in mind … we can’t gaurantee a goal from all of us … one of the other guys is a stay at home Witt type of D-man … LOL! -
Chris,
I’ll be attending along with my brother and my cousin. And with this being my first post, I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic outlet you’ve been providing us fans, I check the site daily for updates as your coverage is unmatched. I truly hope you continue into next season and season’s beyond. Looking forward to hanging with you on Tuesday.

Pat says:
Chris, I am already in MRLBEM’s count — but a quick logistics question —–
For those of us who work in NYC and live in different towns on LI
Is it possible to park legally for the day at a location near Gabriella’s in the AM – then walk to LIRR – then be in good stead with the car ( i.e. – no parking tickets) so I can just pop in the car after the game and head home ? I usually commute from Babylon – and “Plan B” would be to walk to the train after the game and take the local to Babylon station – a far less appealing option – but an option.
Thanks
Pat
without an rvc permit, I’m not aware of a place you could park legally all day and into the night to make Plan A do-able. Sorrry…CB
