dgolds:thanks, I'm not a fan of Indian food, so I'll probably pass on those. I've got some plans in the city, so I won't have too much problem having a choice of good spots. My meeting in Brooklyn cancelled, so no chance to go to Peter Luger's or the River Cafe.
Hoping to have a chance to meet with Catman.

BTW-let me know if you've got time in PDX to meet for a brew...essxjay said she would like to join us also.
