Okay folks, for those who mentioned a lunch get together closer to mid-December, now is your chance! Since last time at Market/1801 East Ninth Street worked well with the communal tables, we're going to go with that again. And this time around we have a SPECIAL GUEST attending ?

 

Wednesday, December 11th at Noon

For info about the venue: https://themarket.cafebonappetit.com/

 

Feel free to post here or message  me if you can attend - see you then!

I'm there!

I'm there

Going to try my best to be there

@MayDay ooh a special guest?? I'm kinda intrigued now.

Wish I could attend, out of town this week and next.  Everyone enjoy!

You can try... ? ?

My current status is "Probable."  I'd be able to stay for 30 min, since I work in the burbs.   May be a gametime decision day of!

Aaron Renn

James Howard Kunstler

Maybe I'll actually go to this one and finally meet some other weirdos obsessed with Cleveland development.

Lol and if you somehow got Kunstler hell ya I'm in.

The San Diego Chicken

Waaay better than any guesses thus far ?

The (wo)man, the myth, the legend, @Terdolph? Or is it Lebron? It's probably Lebron.

Today's the day! ?

I’m in. I look forward to meeting you in real life. 

Great turnout!

 

Enjoyed conversation / seeing old faces and meeting some new ones.

It was a pleasure meeting so many of you. I look forward to our next meetup. 

It was nice finally getting to put faces to some screen names! Definitely wanna do this again.

Indeed, thanks to everyone who made it out and we will definitely continue this in 2020. Happy whatever you celebrate and see you next year!

I'm two months late, but who was the special guest?

Thank you. That was my guess, lol. I’m sorry I missed it. 

I'm sure we all had a lot going on with the holidays and new year and everything. It would be nice to do this again. Although I can no longer easily walk to Market Cafe.

Yes, I guess we're due for another meet up. I'm struggling to think of somewhere other than Market that's:

• Centrally located (downtown/CBD)
• Easily accessible via main transit/trolley lines
• Can accommodate our group without major hassle (anymore we routinely fill at least one of the communal tables at Market)
• Offers variety of dining for anyone with dietary constraints
• Relatively budget friendly

If anyone has suggestions, let me know - thanks!

Call me crazy, but Heinen's?

^Thought about that, and in theory it'd be great but a few concerns:

• First floor is a non-starter - too much commotion especially at lunchtime for a large group
• Second floor (north/Euclid side) - their communal tables only hold eight each and not sure if those are movable? I think our last meetup at Market we had about 16 people ?
• Second floor (west/East Ninth side) - last time I checked, we'd need to probably take over every non-hightop they have

Sausalitos?

How about Ohio City Galley on West 25th Street? It's not in the CBD but it's right across the D-S bridge from the CBD with very frequent transit service.

 

 

^I wouldn’t be able to make it there during the week but great suggestion; been meaning to try it out. ?

 

On second thought ?

 

 

 

So much for that idea....

didn't we do superior pho a few years ago? that was nice

or masthead does lunch

 

It was Pho Thang on Rockwell/Ninth; love the place but 1. not everyone loves Vietnamese food and 2. in the interest of time and amount of people showing up, best to stick with more “fast casual” spots - so Masthead might be a good choice ?
