Thanks for organizing this Kari. I love Seattle during the holidays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead/page/2#post-469373 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:31:05 +0000 Aida 469373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in! No food recommendations, anything you ladies pick is fine with me ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead/page/2#post-469240 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 20:16:25 +0000 amyreh 469240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in too! Definitely for brunch and a little shopping. So excited to finally be able to make one! Etta's, Sazerac, or Cafe Campagne all sound great to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-469056 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:48:55 +0000 qfbrenda 469056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know nothing about any of those restaurants though they all sound yummy, but I'm another vote for staying downtown. I really don't want to have to bring a car over the ferry and drive in downtown Seattle. Walking, I can do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468912 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 05:52:06 +0000 Angie 468912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in on the 10th! Wooohooo! </p> <p>I am going to vote against the Portage Cafe, although it's really nice. I think that we should stay downtown. Parking will be *a mare* - and we need to find spots early in the morning. Plus, downtown is stunning with all the lights and decorations at that time of year. </p> <p>Sazerac is another option: </p> <p><a href="http://www.sazeracrestaurant.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sazeracrestaurant.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468903 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 05:09:11 +0000 Antje 468903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in for the 10th! Definitely for brunch, maybe for shopping. Looking forward to seeing everyone again, and maybe meet new YLFers too!</p> <p>I like Portage Bay Cafe a lot. Wondering, though, whether it might be most convenient to meet right in downtown, to be in easy walking distance from the shops. I like Anna's suggestion of Etta's, or there is Cafe Campagne (<a href="http://www.campagnerestaurant.com/CafeBrunch.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.campagnerestaurant.com/CafeBrunch.pdf</a>) - I haven't been for brunch but have been happy with dinner there. Just a couple suggestions - both are in walking distance to Nordstrom/Macy/Pacific Place, Nordtrom Rack, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468897 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 04:56:51 +0000 Kari 468897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I've never heard of Etta's, but the menu sounds great.</p> <p>I can give them a call and see what their accomodations would be for large groups - 10-15ish maybe? Best to plan for more to be safe... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468894 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 04:45:03 +0000 annagybe 468894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought of Etta's, but I'm not sure if they can handle a large group. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468891 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 04:41:22 +0000 Jenava 468891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for Portage Bay. I'm familiar with the Dragonfish Cafe but it seems more like a lunch/HH place.</p> <p>There is also Etta's... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468886 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 04:32:21 +0000 annagybe 468886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not really brunchy, but they have a private room that holds up to 20. Good food last time I went</p> <p><a href="http://www.dragonfishcafe.com/sea/menus.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dragonfishcafe.com/sea/menus.html</a></p> <p>Only a few blocks up from Pacific Place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468883 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 04:28:36 +0000 Kari 468883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One suggestion I have is the Portage Bay Cafe. It's in South Lake Union - not downtown - but not too far: <a href="http://www.portagebaycafe.com/Portage_Bay_Cafe/MAP2.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.portagebaycafe.com/...../MAP2.html</a></p> <p>I had brunch there with some girlfriends this summer, and the food was AWESOME. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468876 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 04:16:53 +0000 Amy 468876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, not rude--you're just making an executive decision--and a good one, I think. The 10th works for me. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with brunch places downtown. I'll ask around for recommendations, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468806 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:40:44 +0000 Kari 468806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I hope it's not rude of me, but I'm going to make a judgment call based on the responses so far and pick the 10th. </p> <p>It sounds like most of us can make it that day, and as much fun as it would be to actually have a Seattle meetup on my birthday, I suspect the 17th is just going to be crazy for many of us (including myself) as we're nearing the holidays.</p> <p>There's also a remote possibility that I may need to work on the 17th, but I'm free on the 10th.</p> <p>Our meetup strategy has usually been brunch somewhere near downtown around 11:00 AM - noon - does that sound okay? That way, those who are free could hang around and shop afterwards.</p> <p>Do you have any suggestions for locations?</p> <p>Also, PLEASE feel welcome to pass this thread on to others who are interested but may not see it. I'll try to send this out to some of my contacts who have attended previous meetups, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468760 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:44:35 +0000 Aida 468760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>10th and 17th are still open for me as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-dec-meetup-planning-ahead#post-468752 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:28:57 +0000 Angie 468752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no longer available on the 11th but the 10th and 17th are good for me, if that works for the majority of us. </p>
