DEK, if the concensus is to have a Manhattan Bch lunch, please do. My goal, as SKidaddock contends, was not to push you or anyone else into doing anything not laid back enough, I was just trying to help you make the most of your one afternoon since it seemed, initially, no one was else was offering to pick you up, let alone be able to meet up with you.

I could do no less for a friend of ILuvParis

Why don't you have lunch with those able to make it, and I will join up with you and those able to make dinner. Then, I would be delighted to drop you curbside after dinner.

I always forget the name of the restaurant, but it is called Thai something or other and its on Manchester. Is that where you want to meet? I don't want to appear to be insisting on a dinner location. Perhaps Skidadock has another suggestion.
