CommunityBuzz! - July 7: Lunch in Mannheim, Germany

My husband and I will be in Germany in early July. I'd love to meet both German FTers and anyone traveling in the area. Is anyone available for lunch on Saturday, July 7? Alter Simpl was recommended as a good place to eat in a thread in the Germany forum.

Saturday, July 7
Alter Simpl (http://alter-simpl-mannheim.de/speisekarte.htm)
Lunch

If someone knows a better place to eat, great! I'm all ears.

Coming (including possibles):
SanDiego1K + 1
Heidelberg Barbie
ralfkrippner
Rambuster

Probably a typical place with lots of locals - very down to earth menu and pricing.

I'd probably be joining you for lunch as its only a 90 min drive to Mannheim from my hometown.

I put a note in my agenda, since I have plans for this weekend beeing in the region, but cannot confirm right now.

I'll try to make it too.

Unfortunately I have to cancel my trip to Southern Germany and Alsace and thus cannot made it to Mannheim either. I am really disappointed, but I have obligation until 14:00 on July 7th in and around Düsseldorf :(

Enjoy dinner and have a pleasant trip.

Unfortunately, its to far away from NL to be able to make it over :( Hope you guys have a great time though!

We will miss you.

Another time. I look forward to meeting some day.

Any more local flyertalkers to join in...?

I'm actually in Berlin right now. However, I will be in Breslau on the 7th, so I can't make it. And besides, Mannheim is quite the journey from Berlin to begin with. Enjoy your lunch. Do they do the Maultaschen there? How about Spaetzle?

Given your profile location, you'll have to come to a San Diego FT dinner sometime soon.

What time is 'lunch' for you all? Noon or later?

Since I am in Heidelberg and it is a short SBahn ride I thought I'd try to make this little 'Do'.

Just need a time?

We are flexible. I'm hoping to hear from the two fellows as to whether their plans have firmed and what time suits.

Would love to meet. We, too, are coming from Heidelberg where we are staying the prior night.

I would enjoy meeting with other lovers of travel. I'll plan on arriving in Mannheim around noon and head to Alter Simpl. Ill be riding a pink bike. I am the Barbie (doll) of bikes, long blonde hair and all (I'm just a few years older then the doll :rolleyes: )

We should meet Friday evening at Schwarzer Pete (http://www.qype.com/place/68689-Schwarzer-Peter-Heidelberg)r in the Weststadt and have a cool drink. It's where I live (not at the pub, of course! :D )

We are now booked on Saturday at Alter Simple in Mannheim. I've booked an outdoor table at 12:30pm under Carol. We are looking forward to meeting everyone there.

Thank you for the intriguing offer. I think we have a conflict but will be in touch should I be wrong.

It was a nice meet with mr and mrs SanDiago1k, and Ralf. Weather, food, company and conversation - perfect.

It was fun! Hope the bicycle ride back to Heidelberg went smoothly, Heidelberg Barbie.

Bike ride was relaxing ... stopping along the way to take in the sites of many local festivals going on along the Neckar River. We stopped in Landenburg (an old Roman settlement) for a fish festival and had some trout and a Zander Filet.

I hope this morning's rain did not spoil your Sunday plans. It is now a blue sky day here in Heidelberg. Hope you are experiencing the same weather where you are.
