Thank you all for you patience. Anna, Nick and I met downtown and did an onsite inspection and taste test at Leona's. www.leonas.com We will be having Chicago pizza and other tasty treats. There will be vegan options. (If you are vegan and don't do cheese, please email me soon, so we can make sure your needs are met.)

They are setting aside half the restaurant for us and we get the bar! The room has a great feel and we will be able to mingle and chat with each other. And for you United flyers, please note that this restaurant serves Pepsi products, so you should feel right at home.

There will be unlimited free soft drinks, coffee, and their famous lemonade. For those who want something stronger, there will also be a cash bar.
