OK, re: the 23rd. I spoke to my co-worker and he suggested a venerable North End institution: Joe Tecce's. I have been there as well and have always enjoyed myself and the food. It will likely be super easy to get seats, and it's reasonably priced.
He also suggested Fiore for drinks on the rooftop deck, but not for the food.
I would also suggest a post-dinner walk/outing to Mike's Pastry or Modern Pastry for dessert.
So that's my suggestion; any feedback or other ideas would certainly be welcome! And I've got 5 folks on the list for dinner so far, yes? Let me know if anyone else is interested in joining!
The North End is fine by me. Just let me know where exactly, and when exactly.
Six, SIX Buffistas! Mwahahahahaha!
sniff
I did the google map thing. 5 hours 15 minutes each way. A bit much for dinner.
Where are you, Laura? Or, rather, where will you be next Monday that's not Florida?
Otter Lake, NY - I hope to get your way before the end of summer. Of course anyone wanting to escape to the Adirondacks... It's rustic, but current temp is 58F, which better than Florida.
Oh, nice. I hope we can see you at some point!
YAY dinner with Buffistas!
Kristin, in case you see this before you check your LJ -- do you have any free time to hang out tomorrow?
Kate, we're planning to hang out down here, check out Gillette's Castle, etc. You're welcome to come join us!
I'm not sure if my message went through on the Somervillian list, but I won't be able to make it on the 23rd. Sorry, Kristin.
I'm not on the Somervillian list, so I don't know...but I'm sad! I hope to see you again soon, sj.
Also, Kate, sorry we're not quite up for the drive up tomorrow, but we just came in from NYC today, and ND has to train back to NYC to fly back to LA on Saturday. We're trying to keep this week as low-key as possible. I texted your phone...I think...earlier. Let's chat and see if we can find a solution.
But for any of the Somervillians (including sj and Kate) who can't do the 23rd, ND and I are doing a little informal cookout at my mom's place in CT this Thursday night. If anyone else would like to join us here, we'd love to see you! I know it's a bit of a hike for most of you, which was why I'd planned dinner on the 23rd, but if you'd like to see ND's iPhoneND, that's your chance!
Nora, plans for dinner on the 23rd sound great. My little cousin Kerry (okay, she's like...24 or something...but she's still my little cousin) may be joining us too.
