As far as I am concerned, 9 Feb is a good day for a mini LDC (in fact all days are perfect for miniLDCs). If I remember correctly from previous mail exchanges, you prefer a miniLDC version. 10pm for a Caldo Verde, pão com chouriço and some drinks suits us perfectly.

Dear Laartista
I remembered incorrectly since we've never exchanged any emails. It seems I have to organize better the LDC files in order to know who is who.
Please send me an email to [email protected] and I'll reply you my phone number and some suggestions for meeting place, time, etc.
Sofitel has a good location since it's near the south end of Av. Liberdade. From there you may easily walk to Rossio, Chiado, Bairro Alto and the other spots. The access to metro and tram system is very easy too.
Tuckerdc, please send me an email. As you can see our schedule is becoming tight but if we know you are in town, we can always meet for a coffee or a drink and some talk and photos.
Next scheduled activities:
- 9 Feb - miniLDC with Laartista
- 17 Mar - LDC with Schuler + 17 friends from Switzerland + Teresa + friend - Adega das Gravatas
- 7 Apr - miniLDC with Artnuvo
I have great expectations for the huge and very international LDC. We are already 24, but opened to more inscriptions. The waiter in Adega das Gravatas who is always looking to learn to say "thank you" in different languages will have a nice opportunity to practice
Matt, are you still alive??? It's time to start planning the NYDC.

The Lisbon Dining Club on tour.
Well after much speculation I can announce now that the Lisbon Dining Club will be coming to America in March.
I will be coming with Lizzy and my oldest daughter, João with Gertrude and his boys arriving in New York on the 26th March and departing back to Portuguese shores on April 3rd. So that leaves enough time to arrange a big night in the big apple where we can all get together again, en masse.
I'll be posting a few more details in short time but for now don't change the channel...

Hi Sher:
While planning a trip to Portugal I have been spending hours on my train rides to work in NY reading the "veteran's" postings on this Forum. I found them very helpful and fun.
I am noticing plans for a LDC gathering in NYC. If I can be of any help please let me know.

Hi Suzanna. I wrote you some very humble opinions on your other post.
If a LDC in NYC gets planned, I am sure there will be a post here. Some help will be needed as I am not a native from Manhattan and really have no idea where such an event could take place.
You will love Portugal.

Sher, thanks again for your reply to my other post. If I can help (when time comes) w. the NYC gathering or anything else related to Matt's trip, let me know. The easiest way to do it is by sending me an email to [email protected] as I am not checking this forum every day.

The whole gang who is relocating to America for the March/April version of the LDC, gathered yesterday to outline the agenda. The outcome resulting in 99% from Matt's suggestions is too big, I'm affraid. Our next job is trimming it into the available time. Loba and Lobo and young Lobinhos are very excited about the trip.
In addiction to the attractions, the social program, will be great and all together will make this week an experience of a life time.

Hi Lobo, Loba and Matt!
Paul and I had planned a little trip to Las Vegas in the spring until I told him about the LDC in NYC. We had such a good time with you all in Lisbon that I think we may change our plans and show up in NYC instead!
I will be checking this spot for details.....

Last minute news!!!! The NYC LDC venue is already chosen.
After a trimming process that last the whole weekend and part of today, the LDC already has a place to meet. The selection was tough. First it was necessary to reach a short list of 10 places, and after all the pros and cons were evaluated, the board of directors of LDC have announced the winner in a press conference held today in Lisbon, Portugal.
As an appetizer, we disclose a picture of the place:

Keep tuned.

At least for your 20 Euros in the US, you can get a $25 meal.
Just think of us poor folks in Europe where 20Euros cost us $26. But in Lisbon, of course you can eat a nice meal for $26.
I don't envy you that.

Wish we could join you in NY but Arizona is too far for a few days. Love to show Matt Yankee Stadium. My wife and I will be in Lisbon Nov 3,4 & 5 and hope we can get together for a LDC experience one of those nights. (Prefer the 3rd or 4th as we have a very early flight out on the 6th. We'll be staying at the Mundial Hotel. I know that's a long way off but the way you guys attract people we wanted to get on the "waiting list". I know you'll enjoy NYhaving spent a great deal of my working life there.
