>What name will the lawreys reservation be in

Not sure of the name, but we realized that there was an omission from the schedule, and we will be doing Happy Hour there at 5:00pm so look for the gang in the bar area.

It was nice meeting you Stefani!

I thought dinner at Lawry's was really good...

They even gave us prices ahead of time.

Yes, I agree.

Overall, the food for this year's Pinkfest was excellent. I'm sure I gained 10 pounds!

I particularly noticed the proper use of pronouns and courtesy titles by the Lawry's staff.

> They even gave us prices ahead of time.

Yes, it was not cheap but I feel like I got my money's worth at Lawry's this year!

Some of the new things on the schedule seemed to work out. Ginger said
the Hemingway Cafe in Oak Park was really good...almost like being in
Paris. I am going to use Ginger's second ticket to the Hemingway museum
soon! I had not been to the Walnut Room in many years, and I thought it
was nice since we beat the Christmas crowds - it is a Chicago tradition.

Lawry's and the pre broadway show Kinky Boots were both new to Pinkfest
this year too, as was 3160 n Clark. I thought we got good service and
value at each place. I would go back to them in the future. I agree that
Lawry's gave us excellent service, much more than just polite... My
prime rib was excellent. I also love their horse radish and asparagus...

Berghoff was really good again this year. Not too crowded, convenient to
the theatre district, and good food and quality service. I was pretty
happy with everything including the Pinkfest standbys like Ed Debevics
and the Red Head Bar etc...The Downtown Bar has a lot more energy than
the old Gentry on State did. Wish I could have made the others like
Winberie's and the movie at Center on Halsted...

I wish I hadn't been in Wyoming so much of the week.
