Paris GTG 9/29-10/5?
 
Is anyone interested in meeting for drink or food? Or < a GTG for lovers of Chinese/Vietnamese, Indian or Japanese food, just to name the most common kinds>? kerouac, that's for you.

We have evening plans for Tues 10/4. We will be in the fifth but will travel.

Traviata Sep 20th, 2016 03:40 PM

Hi Miki,

We arrive the morning of the 5th and would love to meet...if it isn't too far or too late...I know we'll be groggy. We are also in the 5th......just say when and where!

WoinParis Sep 21st, 2016 10:54 PM

Ich probiere zu kommen.

WoinParis Sep 22nd, 2016 12:43 AM

I meant I have a 50% chance to come. I missed the previous one but now my daughter is supposed to study dutifully. ;-)

Traviata Sep 22nd, 2016 04:08 AM

WoinParis......have we already met????????????

WoinParis Sep 22nd, 2016 04:13 AM

Yes. Under the name of Whathello. Which replaced the name of ParisWat.
I like to change name every year max.

Traviata Sep 22nd, 2016 04:34 AM

Yes.....I thought so. Hope to see you again!

gomiki Sep 22nd, 2016 07:05 AM

Traviata, we can try for the 5th to meet.

WoinParis, what day works best for you?

Anyone else?

WoinParis Sep 22nd, 2016 08:12 AM

5th. But late. I leave office at around 19 45. I may be there on 4 th too.

gomiki Sep 22nd, 2016 08:50 AM

WoinParis, Will you be there on 9/29?

Traviata Sep 22nd, 2016 02:42 PM

Miki...if the GTG is before the 5th, maybe the four of us can meet for a drink and a hello on the night of the 5th before you leave...I think we are staying nearby one another. Abby has my e-mail if you would like it.

I'll keep watching for dates.....

gomiki Sep 23rd, 2016 12:04 PM

Will get your email. They return late tomorrow.

WoinParis Sep 23rd, 2016 12:22 PM

Hi Gomiki. No. I'm there on 28 but already taken.

WoinParis Sep 23rd, 2016 12:28 PM

Speaking of emails, I put an email in my profile.
I'll look at it from time to time - it is a 'dead' address.

Mvg

gomiki Sep 24th, 2016 12:27 PM

Thank you!

Whathello Sep 29th, 2016 11:54 AM

Hello

May I propose some restaurants ?
How many will we be ?
I have several choices (please check on whatever site, I have been there and like those)

in the 18th :
Atelier Ramey Ramey 18e Château rouge
... trendy, excellent wine, menu only but with flexibility. Around 40 € if you don't exxageerate on wine.
Illios Ramey ? 18e Poissonniers
... I found the cuisine a notch above average, white napkins, the 'chef au fourneau' and nice. also around 40 €.
Sacréee fleur Clignancourt 18e Château rouge
... the best meat in town. fantastic T-bones (côtes à l'os), also around 40 €, more if you take the côte for 2 or 3 people


In the 5th
Estrapade Estrapade, 15 5e Panthéon
... very small, very french, very good. About 40€ too.
Forget if we are more than 6.

Saigon Panthéon Descartes 5e
... a vietnamese (who would have guessed) run by the family. Service could be improved, I don't see how to improve a cuisine 'typically done by the mother and served by the son'.
Close to rue Mouffetard.

Any other proposal welcome obviously.
I can do the booking. I speak french (I know, difficult to understand when one reads my magnificient english ;-) )

I'll be landing at CDG around 7 pm, so I'll probably reach any restaurant around 8 pm (min) or more likely 8 30 pm.
Mvg.

Traviata Sep 29th, 2016 01:51 PM

Which day??????????

gomiki Oct 4th, 2016 07:26 AM

I just saw this. Did send an email. Hope it's not too late to reserve or to make the plan. Estrapade or Saigon Pantheon? Your choice. 8:30 is fine. My email is themikster 70 @ hotmail. Three or five depending if traviata and husband are coming.

WoinParis Oct 4th, 2016 12:05 PM

I am sorry. Had to accept another invitation in the meantime.

Will answer your mail with a correct email anyway !

WoinParis Oct 4th, 2016 12:06 PM

Traviata please drop me a mail. Would love to discuss with you - lost your email when I crashed my laptop.

StCirq Oct 4th, 2016 08:02 PM

We're going to be in Paris the 12th, the 21st, and the 22nd of October. WoinParis, will email you but would love to see you again and anyone else.

kerouac Oct 5th, 2016 09:32 AM

I hope anybody who is going has a good time tonight. I am off to Lorraine with my mother's urn.

gomiki Oct 5th, 2016 11:44 AM

Oh, kerouac, that sounds difficult. I am sorry to hear this.

Sarastro Oct 5th, 2016 12:18 PM

Kerouac, my heartfelt condolences. I know this must be a difficult time for you.

kerouac Oct 5th, 2016 01:21 PM

Oh, she died in March and has been sitting on the shelf since then. But I have to admit that putting her in my travel bag to take her away upset me a little. How strange the symbolism of such things can be! My mother is not at all in that urn, just some ashes. But taking care of her for 11 years took its toll.

I enjoy going to Lorraine and then zipping up to Auchan in Luxembourg to buy some stuff much cheaper than in France. (The ancestral village is only about 30km from the border.)

Mathieu Oct 5th, 2016 08:46 PM

I'm in Paris the 12th - 14th. Not sure I can meet up, much as I'd like to, as I have a very tight business schedule but if it's possible, I will.

cafegoddess Oct 5th, 2016 09:16 PM

Kerouac

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom.

Traviata Oct 7th, 2016 12:50 AM

Kerouac......a journey filled with many mixed feelings I am sure......

WoinParis...we are here and in the 5th...have never been to Estrapade and would love to meet you there whenever you are available..

St. Cirq...we will be in Paris when you are...we have met before at a DC DTG...would be very happy to meet again...say when and where....

Wit_Van_Brug Oct 7th, 2016 03:56 AM

"WoinParis...we are here and in the 5th...have never been to Estrapade and would love to meet you there whenever you are available.."

Traviata Oct 7th, 2016 07:23 AM
