Hi all, throwing the idea out there to see if anyone might be interested in grabbing weekday lunch in the next few weeks? I think our best bet might be somewhere that has communal table setups and between Public Square and East Ninth Street. And in case it needs to be said, it's BBYOL (Buy/Bring Your Own Lunch)

 

Any interest, feel free to send me a PM or respond below.

Yes. I work way out in the burbs, but if it works for my schedule I’ll be there. The next 3 weeks are bad, but the middle two weeks of December are actually pretty good. 

Communal tables? Sounds like you're suggesting the 5th Street Arcade or maybe the Old Arcade?

 

I'm game.

I would absolutely love to attend and would fly up in a NY minute (except on a 737MAX, lol), but not in winter. 

Congratulations to All! 

 

So excited for my hometown!

 

I'll have to catch you guys during the summer months.

I'd be down;

If I recall correctly, most of the tables in 5th streets are laid out one table (of 2-4) in a row, and if you move them together, we'd probably end up blocking pedestrian traffic.

Moving the tables together wouldn't be as much as an issue (of block ped traffic) if we are in the back, near the staircase of the old arcade.

Actually no - neither of those has communal tables, but once we have a better idea of head count, we can figure something out.

 

Communal table ?

The communal table idea is a good one.  Any Viking mead halls in the Cleveland area?

Close -- Hofbrau Haus?

I would like to come, assuming the date-time work.

The Market at 1801 East 9th?

Butcher and the Brewer is communal tables

I'm game, thanks for putting this out there @MayDay

The Market has what @MayDay is looking for. Cafeteria style with communal seating. I’m thinking Heinens does too up stairs.

Lunchtime downtown?  I'm there!  And at least one Diet Coke for @KJP on me!

Okay, after a little reconnaissance work, looks like Market is our best bet. So the next question is what days/times look good for everyone?

Not sure if this may help but I've seen doodle polls be helpful for this, I created one here: https://doodle.com/poll/m8gsbuzfsuinvxpm

 

It's not collecting emails or any information, just times/username.

^Done.

So the preliminary results are showing Wednesday, November 27th from 12-1ish is the best day/time - should we go ahead and make it official? We can always have another one later in December for those who mentioned that might be preferable ?

Hmm, I have kid duty Wednesday since they don’t have school. I’m assuming we are not planning on kid friendly. So unless others are also planning on dragging kids along, I’m out for Wednesday. (Mine are 7 and 5 years old.)

It’s all good, looking like we will have a small lunch group for the 27th and then plan another meetup in December ?

Dang, I just saw this today

Late to the game and Wednesday likely won’t work for me. But if there’s another one coming up, Masthead also has communal tables.

Mine is nine (Yes, I started very late) so if we ever have a kid friendly one......   

 

As it stands I have to work Wednesday.    Though not at a bar, which is unusual for Drunken Wednesday LOL

I can probably make it.

I'll be there

I'm going to try my best.  Ive got a an appt that should be over by 11.

I'm going to try and make it as well.

See yinz tomorrow,

 

(Urban)

I'll be there!

 

Okay, I will be grabbing one of the communal tables by the East Ninth Street windows. Just look for the signal! ?

Thanks for putting this together, it was great meeting everyone and look forward to the next event!!

Bummed I missed it.  A quick drawing drop off at a client turned into a 45 min meeting.  Hopefully another one will occur in the future.

Nice seeing everyone. Hope to do this again some time

Yes indeed, nice turnout of ten forumers ? great to meet/see everyone! It’s always interesting to get to put a face to the screen name.

 

As I mentioned up thread and today, quite a few said a mid-December event might work so be on the lookout for an announcement in the near future. We’ll probably use a Doodle survey like @GISguy set up for us to get agreeable days. 

 

 Hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving! 

I behaved this time... next time I'll go full anarcho-syndicalist, I promise
