La Despensa - mini GTG
 
La Despensa, a restaurant in Barracas recently mentioned in this forum, will reopen on Feb. 2, after their holidays.

If Marnie & DH or any other forum members staying at that time in BA wish to try it, we could have a mini-GTG.

Have a great time in our town.

I would prefer going to La Despensa rather than Sottovoce in Puerto Madera. But, my DH & I are booked for Iguazu Falls Feb 2, 3, & 4.(Sigh)

avrooster Jan 2nd, 2010 11:22 AM

Condu: I'm quite flexible, as far as dates are concerned. I said the restaurant reopens on that date, not that we have to go on that date. Fridays are always bad for me and I prefer dinner to lunch, particularly in the summer.

One of the reasons I posted this is that I don't think I'll be available for the Feb. 15 GTG, as my DW just moved ahead the dates for a trip we are planning (sigh).

So, we could go to La Despensa anytime between Feb. 6 and 11.

How about that?

If you wish, e-mail me to albertovgalloATyahoo.com telling me where I can phone you, when you are in town.

Sounds good to me. I have sent you an email which will provide you with my email address & phone number to the email address that you provided. Well, actually I had to substitute @ for "AT" to make it work.

avrooster Jan 2nd, 2010 01:53 PM

Got your e-mail, condu.

Can't wait for the 16th! LOL!!!

condu Jan 3rd, 2010 07:17 AM

Don't you mean the 18th? Last info for the Jan GTG was Sottovoce in Puerto Madero, Monday, January 18th at 8:30 pm. Did I miss something?

avrooster Jan 3rd, 2010 07:59 AM

Condu: you underestimate my sense of humor. The 16th is the day you land in BA! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

condu Jan 3rd, 2010 08:11 AM

Av rooster, you better be waiting for me with an armful of roses. (Sweet smile)

MarnieWDC Jan 3rd, 2010 11:10 AM

How about the 6th or 7th for dinner at La Dispensa? That is, however, weekend - would that work for you and DH, Avrooster ? Condu ?

condu Jan 3rd, 2010 11:14 AM

MarnieWDC: It would work for me.

MarnieWDC Jan 3rd, 2010 11:14 AM

We can dispence with my spelling > La DESPENSA. ~M

avrooster Jan 3rd, 2010 12:43 PM

I just realized we can't go on the 6th, so, as far as I am concerned, it would have to be on Sunday the 7th of February.

I'll make sure they are open Sunday evenings and we can make it a date.

I'll start saving money for those roses. LOL!!!

BTW, Marnie, I don't have a DH. Just kidding. More LOL!!

MarnieWDC Jan 3rd, 2010 01:16 PM

2 dumb mistakes in only one post ??? I'd better take a nap.

condu Jan 3rd, 2010 03:22 PM

Don't worry MarnieWDC, we all make mistakes in our posts.
Our fingers just can't keep up with our thoughts.:)

avrooster Jan 9th, 2010 07:29 AM

La Despensa is closed Sunday evenings, which means we'll have to change the date (Feb. 7) or the venue.

Condu, Marnie, others?

MarnieWDC Jan 9th, 2010 08:14 AM

Dinner February 7th works for us too. Perhaps AvRooster can think of another interesting venue ?

Or, we can try to find another date. But we are each travelling soon after the 7th, I think ?
