Posted October 27, 20231 yr EDIT 2: Confirmed Luna Bakery, 1468 West 9th (right at Superior Ave) at 11:45 or so on Friday, November 3. Menu is in the thread below in @Ethan’s post. [OP]: In the spirit of switching it up so other people can participate, who would be up for a Cleveland lunch meet up next Friday (November 3)? I'm thinking somewhere downtown - maybe Southern Tier, 5th street arcades, or something with open seating on East 4th. Reply with your availability, your location suggestions, and if 11:45 or noon is a better meetup time. Hope you can make it! @MayDay @ColDayMan @KJP @X @GISguy @Gramarye @tykaps @Cleburger @YABO713 @KFM44107 @Luke_S @Growth Mindset @mack34 @urbanetics_ @mrclifton88 @MuRrAy HiLL @richNcincy @LlamaLawyer @Htsguy @Oldmanladyluck @Dblcut3 @TBideon @infrafreak @urb-a-saurus @E Rocc @ASP1984 @ASPhotoman @marty15 @freefourur @Foraker @MyPhoneDead @TotalTransit @mermaidlindsay @WindyBuckeye @Ethan @OldEnough @yanni_gogolak @Milkshake1 @dwolfi01 @Silent Matt @Sapper Daddy @Whipjacka @Geowizical @Ineffable_Matt @Mendo @nammoumj @Blimp City @GREGinPARMA @downtownjoe @cfdwarrior @gildone @Henke @ragarcia @gruver @Paul in Cleveland @w28th @roman totale XVII @Pleco @surfohio @andrew0816 @dave2017 @zbaris87 @skorasaurus @neony All are welcome!

October 27, 20231 yr Not going to be able to make it to this one. 😕 Raise a glass and I’ll be there in spirits, erm, spirit.
October 27, 20231 yr I cover for someone else on Friday afternoons as well as doing my own job so I really can't.
October 27, 20231 yr I don't work downtown, so I (probably) can't make it. But I'd like to suggest the new Luna location for the venue. Food's great, and I also happen to know they are struggling (i.e. losing money) and could use the business. It's the kind of restaurant I'd love to see more of downtown, so I'd hate to see it fail.

They just need to make it till Rockefeller and SHW opens up and they will be rolling.
October 27, 20231 yr That's going to be a busy day for me, I'm not going to be able to get away from work in the middle of the day.
October 27, 20231 yr If I'm not in the office that day I can certainly make it. Next week is going to be busy at work though so it really depends on how the week shapes out. Also can throw out Masthead as an option they have great pizza
October 27, 20231 yr Author I think we have enough to confirm this lunch meet up - Friday Nov 3 downtown Cleveland. Keep the location suggestions coming! 28 minutes ago, Ethan said: I don't work downtown, so I (probably) can't make it. But I'd like to suggest the new Luna location for the venue.

Thanks for the suggestion on Luna. Do they have an open seating area? Would we be able to pull tables together? Is it order from the counter, or is there a server? (Former works much better than latter for this group.) Hopefully one of these meet ups will work for you to join us. 19 minutes ago, Luke_S said: That's going to be a busy day for me, I'm not going to be able to get away from work in the middle of the day. I figured this one would be a stretch for you, but hopefully one will work out soon. I’m thinking early December would be a good time for the next happy hour.

Plus I’m thinking fewer people work on that side of downtown. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?

I'll see if I can work from home. They have an open seating area and you can move tables if you need to. Order from counter.
October 27, 20231 yr Any potential interest in a near east side location? I may attend a symposium at CWRU that day, and I'd potentially have a free hour for lunch.
October 27, 20231 yr A lunchtime meetup isn't an option for me. Would this be in addition to the evening meetup on 11/1? If so, go for it. Edited October 27, 20231 yr by gildone

Nov 1 is for AAO, I was just extending the invite. Friday lunch is specifically for UrbanOhio. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
October 28, 20231 yr Author Any objections to Luna Bakery, 1468 West 9th (right at Detroit Ave)? @Ethan made a good case for it and it looks great to me. Relatively transit accessible, somewhat central, and the menu looks really good. Shall we say 11:45, and get there whenever you can get there? https://www.lunabakerycafe.com/_files/ugd/cd14d0_225ff0d7054f4fab9495b05471f9adb4.pdf So far I'm expecting @Oldmanladyluck @Growth Mindset @urb-a-saurus and maybe @dwolfi01 @Ethan. I assume @GISguy will come. My wife plans to join us. What about @ColDayMan @MayDay @YABO713 @KJP @zbaris87 @neony and all our other downtown workers / residents? When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?

October 29, 20231 yr Sending regrets! I'll be off to Europe for work. Enjoy! Hopefully there will be a holiday edition in late December?
