or mezza (also on wells)
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:31 (eleven years ago) link
Either sounds good. Mezza is Mediterranean? Do you still want falafel? If yes, let's go there.

Those places are not near Level.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:34 (eleven years ago) link
Well propose a place near Level, then.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:35 (eleven years ago) link
i looked on the map, but maybe i was looking at the wrong place.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
the problem is that level is the opposite side of the loop from me. we could do the macy's food court?
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:38 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, sorry, Nick.
Macy's would be very fine. Or any place convenient to all of us.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:39 (eleven years ago) link
I love the Macy's food court. Is that sufficiently convenient for you, Nick?
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it'll take me 10-15 minutes to get over there but that's ok, i've done it before
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
I'm fine with that if Princess Jesse is.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:43 (eleven years ago) link
Shit. nevermind. i forgot i have to be somewhere at 1:30
:(
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:44 (eleven years ago) link
Sorry to muddy the waters!
omg
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:45 (eleven years ago) link
Nick. Falafel?
But if you guys could still go to the Macy's food court that would be good.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:46 (eleven years ago) link

I'm eating lunch right now.
― Jeff, Friday, 4 May 2012 16:47 (eleven years ago) link
i never want to eat lunch again
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:48 (eleven years ago) link
Oh wait. I will meet you at Wendy's.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:50 (eleven years ago) link
jenny let's still go to macys.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:50 (eleven years ago) link
Okay. Then we can lie in wait for Jesse at Level Optical and beat him up and steal his contacts.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
Hey speaking of... nothing, actually, I took the elevator to the train platform this morning and I stepped in behind a guy who got on and stood in front of the buttons, and the door closed and we didn't go anywhere because... he didn't push the button for the platform. I mean.

Also, the 2012 Chicago Opera Theater season is amazing - Philip Glass, Astor Piazzolla, and Verdi - http://www.chicagooperatheater.org/2013-season/.

J355exX, I think this place is opening next to Gamestop on Clark soon. http://chicago.grubstreet.com/peasantry_menu.jpg Vegetarians, no need to click the link.

N/A that was a lovely lunch and the rest of you are suckers for missing it. Also I'm sorry if I abruptly walked away from you, but I really needed some blush. BLUSH EMERGENCY.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 19:20 (eleven years ago) link
it's cool. i had shrimp tacos for the first time, they were delicious.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 19:23 (eleven years ago) link
I drove down Wabash to see if I could find a quick parking spot to come up and surprise you but no luck.
I had to drive my boss' car somewhere, which is why I couldn't make it to lunch.
Jeff, I've noticed that place and I was interested but also I was a little annoyed at the fact that they call it "peasant food."
Remember that horrible clusterfuck in the "shallow pedantic complaints that drive you crazy" thread re the trend of "peasant" and "slow" food?
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 19:42 (eleven years ago) link
Also, I'm not a fan of offal. Except sweetmeats.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 19:43 (eleven years ago) link
Oops, I meant sweetbreads.
I haven't had fried gizzards since I was a kid. I used to love them.
― Jeff, Friday, 4 May 2012 19:45 (eleven years ago) link
I don't know what it says about me that the most appealing thing on that menu right now is the beet flatbread. It probably says that I just read "pickled lamb tongue flatbread" and something in my brain shut down.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 19:47 (eleven years ago) link
I was going to try and meet up with you guys, but thanks to the goddamn Columbia College Urban Art Fair it took me about three times as long as usual to walk up Wabash. Fucking art students.

Damn kids. I'm sorry you didn't go!
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 20:07 (eleven years ago) link
Loopers, I'm going here immediately after work. Join me for a drink if you wish. http://watershedbar.com
― Jeff, Friday, 4 May 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link
Thats a pretty solid beer list.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
And the chairs look comfortable.
― Jeff, Friday, 4 May 2012 21:12 (eleven years ago) link
Important consideration.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:12 (eleven years ago) link
Why are you going there?
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:18 (eleven years ago) link
for a drink fool
― Jeff, Friday, 4 May 2012 21:20 (eleven years ago) link
To stand up and drink water, iirc.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:20 (eleven years ago) link
I'm having a drink with The Good Emily at an alternate, undisclosed location but then I will be joining J3ff.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:21 (eleven years ago) link
jvc, right that wrong from your lunch outing and join us.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:22 (eleven years ago) link
I will not be there b/c I have other plans.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:23 (eleven years ago) link
g-d I wish I worked in the loop
and did not have a dog that would pee all over the floor if I did not go home immediately and let him out
actually I don't wish that, it's just inconvenient sometimes
― Silky Slim (dan m), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:25 (eleven years ago) link
I think I just may do that. What time will you guys be there? I have to finish up some stuff here and journey up from the South Loop.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
Wish I worked in the loop too.
and the peasantry looks pretty awesome.
― deploying a sewer otter unit (askance johnson), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
I'll be there a little later bc of my previous engagement. I don't remember when Jeff gets off work so I'll just let him answer for himself.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 21:27 (eleven years ago) link
