Caplansky's is very bright, but I wasn't planning to do anything I didn't want people to see. (I guess I'm the dull one at the party.) More interesting neighbourhood, and much closer to where Joe is staying. My bias: I live in the neighbourhood. I haven't had to park there, therefore. There is a parking garage off of Brunswick, behind the medical building just east of it. Because it's not a bar, I don't know if they hound people who hang around too long, but I suspect not. And if they did, we could always wander down the street to Free Times. In terms of roominess. I don't know how many people are actually coming Thursday. If it were warmer, that would be less of a problem, because there is a patio too.
That said, whichever people decide, I'll be there.
SORRY. Missed Frank's post while I was writing mine. I can handle the Wheatsheaf, if not another burger this week.
