    No doubt there are lots of LTHers working in and around the Loop, so the time has come to start up a Loop Lunch Group. Our first get together will be Tuesday December 29th at Cafecito, the Cuban sandwich shop near the corner of Congress and State. The plan is to meet in the lobby area in front of the restaurant at 12 noon.

    Cafecito
    26 E Congress Pkwy
    (312) 922-2233
    http://cafecitochicago.com/

    Let's see if they really are the #1 Best Cuban Sandwich in Chicago as their website claims!

    I don't work in the loop, but am off this week and would love to join you. I might be able to come in some other times depending on my schedule and how close the locations are to the loop El stops :)

    It sounds like we're going to have a pretty good turnout.

    I called Cafecito just to make sure they're open tomorrow. I also mentioned we'd be a group of about 10 people and they said we shouldn't have too much trouble finding seating. I'll probably show up around 11:50 to figure out the table situation. I'll print out a couple LTH logos and put them on the tables so it should be easy to find us.

    See you all tomorrow.

    My Bride is off work this week and we would love to join you in the Loop. A short train ride from Oak Park.

    Mmmm... A nice bowl of soup and a good sandwich on a snowy winter day!

    Thanks for setting this up! See you at Noon.

    I'm trying to figure out how many buildings I can cut through on my walk to Cafecito. Knowing that there's some great hot coffee waiting for me will help.

    I look forward to seeing everyone in a few hours. I'll also try to get there a bit early to help save seats - - I don't think there are more than a few big tables.

    This was really good, and not on my normal path (at all). THANKS much for the planning, and the company :)

    Had a great lunch! Thanks for setting it up.

    There were so many sandwiches that I wanted to try but I had to limit myself to 2 sandwiches, a bowl of soup and a Cuban Espresso for the road. My Bride was unable to attend but she will get to sample what I brought home.
