Lunch in SFO August 11th
I am going to be in Napa this weekend and staying an extra day to see an art exhibit on Monday. Is anybody going to be around that would like to join willie-wonka and I for lunch in the city? If so, please post here. I realize a lot of people work, but just thought it would be fun to meet some other FTers if you're around/able to make it into the city.
I understand from SOME Bay Area FTers (not naming any names here . ..
) that parking can be troublesome for some. Plans would be we will meet at 12:30 PM on Monday for lunch. Please post if you're interested in joining. Details e.g., place to follow.

ldsant, if the certain art exhibit you plan to see is at SFMOMA, it's only 6 blocks from my office and I'd be delighted to RSVP for lunch. While parking is problematic, we do have a complete public transit network that might help attendance.

Check your yahoo email, Liz. And for others (I was also assuming the MOMA), the 5th/Mission Garage is an easy in/out from the Bay Bridge or 101/280N at that time of day - about $4 for lunchtime.

I agree that 5th/Mission garage is good for SFMOMA, if that is where the exhibit is.
I'm interested in joining the lunch on Monday.
Let us know the details!

I'm heading out of town Monday afternoon, but it's possible I could still make lunch. Please email me or post the details and I'll let you know for certain.

Since Liz is computerless for the moment, I seem to have become the default organizer. I'm meeting here at SFMOMA for the 10:00 A.M. opening. No guarantee on entry time, since I'm having an impossible time buying tickets online. In theory, we are then walking west to TU LAN(6th St., west side, just south of Market)for one of those only in SF experiences(great food, awful ambiance---lots of local color and street people). I've been there before and I hope it hasn't changed. Hope to see some of you there.

So, meet at Tu Lan at 12:30 PM, right?
I'm game!
I've never eaten there, but I just read
the reviews of Tu Lan on epinions.com

Tu Lan is a great place - I will try and make it over (it will be tight). I have eaten there dozens of times. The chicken or lemon beef salad, and imperial rolls are as good as you can find. Some sauced dishes are "misses."
