Post #1 - May 14th, 2008, 10:58 amI hope this doesn't come too soon after tonight's happy hour @ Natalino's, but recent discussion in the Violet Hour thread has made me very eager to make the trip to Wicker Park and try out VH's spring menu. I haven't been there since it was very, very cold outside.
Anybody care to join me? All are welcome--VH enthusiasts as well as any folks who might want to visit for the first time.

Post #2 - May 14th, 2008, 11:04 amI've reached a milestone: This is the first time I'll be attending two LTH events in the same week. I'll be there, with bells on, to order from their fantastic drink menu.

I will be there, though on the late side - probably more like 6:30. Please save me a highback.

They do. I recommend the duck meatballs. I've always enjoyed the fried pickles also.Joe G.

Post #11 - May 15th, 2008, 3:54 pmI would like to join you. I'll be leaving Evanston at about 6:00, so I will be late: hopefully Happy Hour will last over an hour.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster.

Post #15 - May 15th, 2008, 10:23 pmA fantastic potential crowd. I look forward to skoaling all of you. Can we fit in a figure eight of highbacks around two of the little tables, or take over the southeast corner by the curtains? I think this might be more fun in a lounge setup than at one of the long tables in the dining room, which are less mingling-friendly.

I completely agree. I've only ever sat in the highbacks. I will be there close to 6 to find us space. I'm glad so many people can come out!

Post #17 - May 16th, 2008, 7:43 amI am hopeful that I will be able to attend. I'm not sure when I will be able to get off of work; it's not unheard of to be able to get out by 6:30 on a Monday.
So call me an iffy 1; I may bring a co-worker along as well.
Can I be vaguer?

Post #24 - May 19th, 2008, 11:45 amOK, so here's a question: I can really only have one drink and reasonably expect to find my way home (walking!). But, I'm torn. Help my decision-making - Negroni or Dark 'n' Stormy?Leek

Post #25 - May 19th, 2008, 11:53 amCan we drink "family style"? Order a lot of different drinks and share (either separate glasses or not)? Turn the Violet hour into a Chinese restaurant.

We're definitely up for sharing...that's part of the benefit of going with the group.
