Thank you for the invitation -- I appreciate it. I'm in the Chicagoland (as it's called) area. I have some friends in New York, but haven't been out that way recently. Travel is minimal until I find my next gig, but if I'm out that way, I might give a shout.
If you make it to Chitown, feel free to drop a note. (Didn't this site used to support messaging? I'll have to drop an email address into my profile.) I'm not the most exciting company, but I do recall a good pub or three. Plus, you have to get a "cheezborger cheezborger" from the original Billy Goat Tavern.
