The Great LBO Lunch Date is happening at the same time -- this Sunday, April 26 at 1:30pm -- but at a new venue: French Roast, at 85th and Broadway.
Nearest subway stop: #1 train at 86th. The B and C at 86th also work although it's a 10 minute walk from Central Park to Broadway.
Cuisine: New York Brunch.
I will be making a sort-of reservation (they won't promise, but they'll try, and they will probably come through -- they're very nice people at this restaurant) by calling them 45 minutes before and advising them how many seats we need.
My confirmed role call so far indicates we need 8 chairs and 1 high chair:
Doug Henwood Chris Doss Michael Pollak Joe Catron Sabri Oncu
Ravi Ravi's wife, Divya Ravi's eldest, Ahren, 4 (adult chair) Ravi's youngest, Tanish, 1 (high chair)
Other people have mentioned wanting to join, and we'd love to have you. You've got until noon on Sunday to notify me by email so I know how many seats to ask for.
See you all there! And afterwards I'm going to show Ravi and his kids the unbelievably cool pet shop around the corner that I learned about from Doug and Ivan.
