Hmmmm..... Sept 7 is our anniversary, and the 9th is my wife's b-day. I could say we planned the GTG as a surprise party!! How do you think that'd go over? ;-)

Regardless, I'm game!

I've been reading and searching... the best time is dinner, right?

We'll be staying at Hotel Fifty 50 SW Morrison St @ SW 1st Ave, so please something close to this location, or on the MAX line.

Maybe Sunday September 7 Huber's? Withing walking distance, right? 411 SW 3rd Ave @ SW Stark.

Or Tuesday September 9 Bleu, too bad they aren't open on Sunday! 600 SW 10th Ave @ SW Alder - 3 stops on MAX?

Well, the MAX line intersects the Streetcar line, so that opens up a whole new set of possibilities! Dinner is best, but lunch on the 7th might work. Tough to know whether to schedule it on wife's birthday or our anniversary though. Hmmmm......

And what are you thinking in terms of budget, Faina? Not that I don't like Huber's or Bleu, but I think we can do bettah! ;-)

First of all, I am VERY opened to suggestions, I know I'm not good with picking out places

Lunch on the 7th won't work for us - we're flying in late, scheduled to land at 2 pm.

Hmmm... maybe lunch close to somebody's work on Mon or Tue? I still have time to plan around it.

Breakfast, anyone?

As for budget... we usually splurge at least once per vacation. But we are not against savings, not at all!

As for food type, Mr Again hates sandwiches I tried to convince him, he can open it, and leave bread uneaten, didn't work!

I'm bummed I can't make it. Probably could head down from Seattle if it were a Saturday, but too swamped at work to take Monday off. Y'all have fun!

Next time around, okay, Faina?

Have a good visit to the City of Roses!
