We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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.

Oh, fun! (adds another to the list)

You like Italian, right? I may not have been specific because it's so second nature to me, but the North End is primarily Italian fare, it's the Italian neighborhood of Boston.

Also, going off of one of Frank's recommendations upthread, I really, really like the look of Antico Forno. Looks reasonable (the most expensive dish is the veal at $22, and most everything else is well below that), has nice looking pastas and pizzas as well as meat dishes.

I am personally leaning Antico Forno-ward, but the floor is still open to suggestions or folks who don't like the look of the place. Just speak up!

t looks at Antico Forno menu again

t is now ravenously hungry

I can personally recommend both the pizza at Antico Forno and the gnocchi. It's not a huge place, but it's not a closet either, and on a Monday it shouldn't be an issue.

Perhaps we should still make a reservation? [link]

Oh, of course. If all are agreed, I'll go ahead and take care of it. I was waiting to see if 1) the place was acceptable and 2) other folks will pipe up and join before doing so because I don't want to call and change the reservation 18 times before Monday evening.

I am totally pro-reservation, just maybe not quite yet. Also, time. Is 6:30 a reasonable time to make a dinner reservation for folks? Kristin, do you have any surrounding plans that we should take into account?

edit: also, I would call them, I am distrustful of online reservations.

6:30 is perfect for me & the missus.

The status is NOT quo.

As long as I know the time ahead of time, I should be able to make it. I will be coming from CT, though, so keep in mind rush hour.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Is 6:30 a reasonable time to make a dinner reservation for folks?

I get out of work at 6 p.m. ish, and have an hour's drive ahead of me. I can't guarantee being there before 7:30 p.m.

aha, I must have missed that you guys are coming up. OK, that certainly is an aspect that should be considered. With Victor and Lea, that's 9 folks.
