Lunch gathering...with difficult constraints
Hmmm... first thanks for diving into this topic. Your ideas have all been helpful. Here is where things stand right now.
- Chinatown looked like it was right on the money, but I called and got the impression it is going to be a busy time this weekend (thanks for the follow-up masha, you saved us). I mean you have to go all out when its the year of the pig (er boar) right?
-Cuatro looked great, but it looks like they no longer serve lunch according to their website. Which is a bummer since it had such promise.
- Since we all live in the area, we have hit up Greektown and the pizza places plenty, so that made the sales pitch to the group a little difficult.
- Our play right now is going to be the bongo room. It was a little farther than we hoped but the menu looks like that great mix between casual and different. I am going to call and see if they are ok with the trickle in theory.
Thanks again for the help and let me know if there is something I missed. Cheers.
Lunch gathering...with difficult constraints
Good morning all,
I have a difficult problem to propose, that may not have a solution. I figured if Chowhound can't solve it, no one can.
Senario: This weekend a group of us are going to the Chicago autoshow. The group is blending of different social circles, so I thought lunch would be a good place to have everyone meet everyone else. The group is about 10-12 in size and lives all over the city and suburbs.
Usual Problem: People are always 10-15 mins late because they got lost, got caught in traffic, etc.
Is there a casual place with good food downtown or near McCormick where a group can meet and eat some good food? Seems like a place that will allow folks to trickle in over a 10-15 mins window and be ok with it.
Seems implausible I know, but I figured I would check in here and see if there is something I am not considering.
Thanks for any advice you might have.
