Cuban in Chicago? (June 18th)
 

The subject line says it all. And I want to go to the Cuban place that Sweet Willie and others went to the other night. My flight gets in around 3 p.m. and I'll probably crash one of the Hilton properties. Any takers?

{edited to add:}

Since Sweet Willie's thread is sort of a running thread to plan ORD eating outings, it makes more sense to consolidate plans for June 18th there:

If I'm in town, I'd be up for it, but there's a 50-50 chance I'll be out of town for work. I hope to know in the next couple of days, but should know for sure a week in advance.

Let's start using this link for the June 18th dinner. If I can make it, there should be more gifts because we have someone coming in from out of town. Yeah!

That film was shot at my high school http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
We missed a day of school to watch them film.

Wow, you made it to high school?

Hey! That's farther than what you got through from what I here.

My point exactly... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I am planing to be there.

I have a lunch in BOS, so will be flying up in the morning and hopefully flying back in the afternoon in time for this. So put me down as a definite maybe.

Will I finally meet Marty being a weekday and all? Somehow, I doubt it but we'll see.

Excellent! A few more mojitos-imbibers to add and we now have a six-pack (if Marty shows up ... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif)

Confirmed:
Sweet Willie

I'd like to join you. I'm pretty certain I'll be free on the 18th.

Hope to see everyone.

Do we have a location yet for this shindig?

It looks like my trip to Oakland has been delayed, so I will be free that evening.

It looks like my schedule is clear next week so I can make it http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Any idea's of the location and time?

This would be the Cuban Island restaurant near Peterson & Lincoln. There is a review of Cuban Isalnd in the Chicago Flyertalk Dining forum. Dinner is 7:30pm ish.

I have plans to pick up essxjay at her Loop hotel around 6pm ish. If any Loopees need a ride, let me know.

I have at least one, and possibly two Entertainment Book coupons that are usable at Cuban Islands!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I'll bring mine and hopefully reduce the cost of our FT dinner so that more Mojitos can be consumed by the crowd!!

Best wishes, Dave

Sounds like fun!! I plan to be there via our own "hometown" CTA!!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Steve

Wow!

DBoy, Nick, ORDguy and Schurr brings us to ten! Lotsa new handles and faces.

I think Cuban Island is going to have a sales-breaking night. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Perhaps we should call ahead to be sure they have the proper provisions of mojitos materials on hand. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif

Sure, I'll be there. I'm takin' the trusty Green Limousine.

Uh oh. Goat is leaving downtown. If you want to take the ravenswood all they way to the end, Kimball I think. I can give you a ride the rest of the way. Willie is also doing limo service from the loop I think.

As the usual suspects will be there how can I bail out... Anna and I will be joining you... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

ALL are welcome.

Just made a reservation under "Flyertalk" for 14 people at 7:30pm.

Hello Schurr, Welcome to Flyertalk http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Cuban Island Restaurant
3446 W. Peterson, Chicago
This is located East of the Edens and West of Lincoln.

Well...at least two (2) of the dinners will be free!! I'll be bringing 2 Entertainment Book coupons, which will work as long as there's not "live entertainment" that nite!

(I don't think that the 14 FT'ers count!) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Best wishes, Dave

Good call, I should have a 2003 book here somewhere too http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I think we will be providing the "live" entertainment. Looks like we will have a good crowd on Wed.

I currently have a conflict that I'll try to work out.

Hope to be able to make it!

Mike

TONIGHT....

I am picking up essxjay and goat at the Palmer House Hilton around 6pm. I have room for one more to ride along. Email me if you are near the Loop if you wish for a ride.

Looking forward to yet another ORD crowd dinner! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

3:30pm, leaving the house, doing some errands on the way to the Palmer House Hilton to pick up esxxjay and goat at 6pm.

to any other Loop people, I've got room for one more in my car, just meet at the Palmer House, the Monroe Street area, look for a Black Ford Explorer, grey interior, w/a short-hair blonde white male driving.

And it such nice weather all of a sudden http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

It's been raining w/thunder for about an hour here on the west side of ORD. I hope esxxjay's flight got in before the storm.

Does anyone need a ride from around ORD? I will be leaving my office around 6:00.

No more rain! Yeah! What's a little rain anyway? Now I don't have to get a car wash http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
The Willie Limo has left the terminal. See you all tonight.

Alas, essxjay did not make it tonight http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif Hope all is well.

However we did have an FT'er drive all the way from MKE to see us on the Northside of Chicago. Good to meet you, glad you came.

I know my dish was yum.

Next outing will be on a Friday night. I've made these past few dining outings on weekday nights so that certain FT'ers could make it. Oh well.
