NCSG/ALAC Dinner Tonight

[William Drake]

Hello,

A few of us have been digging around trying to find a place for the dinner
tonight.  Given that food quality doesn't seem to vary too much we thought
atmosphere for hanging out was the key variable, and after speaking with
Angela, our handler at the Hilton, Wolf and I took her advice that San Pedro
is the best in that regard and booked it for 19:30. People who attended the
GNSO Council-board dinner Saturday have already been there, sorry, but it
seemed the best choice, centrally located on San Pedro square, big roof top
dining with great view etc.  It's an easy stroll there directly from the
conference center, and they serve drinks right on the square if anyone gets
there early.

When we did the Doodle poll http://doodle.com/zd2vhg97tuayyhr5 18 people
said they were available tonight, but I know of at least three on that list
who won't be coming due to travel problems etc.  So we booked for around 15.
Presumably they'll be able to accommodate however many show if additional
folks want to come.

The details are in Wolf's message below.

If anyone who Doodled yes knows they're not coming, maybe let one of us know
so we can adjust the reservation if necessary...?

Thanks

Bill

Hi,

Angela just confirmed the reservation at San Pedro for tonight:
for around 15 people at 19:30 PM (on her name and Mr. Drake)

Couldn't give me any Web details - and I checked by myself again.
Found the following:

Café San Pedro
Plaza San Pedro N° 30-11
57 5 664 18 88

Facing the San Pedro convent, this restaurant benefits from a gorgeous
location right in the middle of the historical center. Chef Diego Camacho
has a love for healthy food with little or no fat—a taste not very common in
Colombia. Camacho is also influenced by the Asian cuisines: his “Shangaï
Chicken” is cooked in a mandarin juice and his Ceviche borrows from a Thai
passport. Surprisingly, he also prepares a large assortment of sushi. The
place is popular and often crowded, so it’s a good idea to make
reservations. Service can be a little slow.
