San Francisco GTG 12/2/06
 

I assume the date is set for Sat 12/2/06, is it lunch or dinner?

artlover: Where are u staying? Any fav places?

Topping. Possibly in.

Kal??????????? LOL

Dinner would be a def "maybe".

No way we can make a lunch because Mrs Kal is usually swamped on Sat during the Christmas rush as is I-80.

But it could be an early B'day dinner for me?:-"
<i>hint hint</i>

Got your hint, pal. BevMo is opening on December 1, Van Ness @ Sutter. Should we stay close? :))

Am staying at the Suites at Fisherman's Wharf. May or may not have a car depending if DF gets there by then. But S.F. is usually easy by foot or public transportation, so shouldn't be a problem getting to most places in the city, right?

One of my favorite places is L'Osteria del forno at 519 Columbus (www.losteriadelforno.com), but you know the city better than I do, so I'm open to trying new and different places.

Topping. Probably, people are out for the holiday, the forum is slow.

Lunch or dinner?

I'd rather do dinner--I never drink before 5 (except in Europe :D). Or we could just do Happy Hour and those that want to linger on and do dinner could do so.

Alas..we have our wine group champagne Holiday party that evening. Enjoy y'all!

Any extra invites for that group Holiday champagne party? Sounds like a blast!

Let's group ... after 5 it is, are we crashing the champagne party, or having our own? I don't do happy hours (never drink without food or I slide under the table) but can eat and drink at 5 or later. Will not be checking this site frequently till 11/30 but keeping 12/2 open. Prefer a location closer to Union Square or Market Street.

Oddly enough I will be at Post/Hyde that week...think I am spoken for but will keep checking this post just in case.

I'll be across town at Pre/Hyde...:-&quot;

Kal: Are you spoken for too?
Faina: Go get him!

What Shanghainese said :)

For Wendnesday and myself the Union Square location is convenient!

Shanghainese, I don't want to &quot;get him&quot;. You know me, I don't enjoy easy winnings :)

Faina and I can gtg any time so it's now up to you other Fodorites.

Hope you're enjoying some easy winnings in Reno, Faina LOL.

You need to give me the time and place and I'll be there with a smiling face :D

Thanks, artlover.

Cafe Metropol at 168 Sutter between Kearny &amp; Montgomery across from the Crocker Galleria at 5:30 pm? Small cafe with casual Californian Mediterranean food and bar.

Faina: You on?

&quot;Tortellini in Wild Mushroom Sauce, shredded Parmesan cheese and Herbs de Prove&quot; &quot;Red Wine Masi, Modello Rosso, Italy&quot; - why do you even bother to ask :))

No dessert menu posted, how upsetting!

Anybody calling Kal?
