<div dir="ltr"><div style="text-align: left;">Just a note, from someone who gets stuck wandering that area often, what with working at our new meeting place and all:<br><br>If you want a lot of choices for food, you need to eat beforehand.  Mediteran closes at 8:30pm, everything except for the bars/Chinese place/and I think the Burrito place close around 4-5pm.<br> <br>Had to get dinner on Monday at 6pm, so learned as I walked to closed restaurant after closed restaurant.<br><br>The Chinese place by Ted-Dee's is open until 10, and I do vouch for the quality of the food.  It's not that expensive, either.  The Triple Garlic platter is enough for two-three people (beef, chicken and shrimp, with LOTS of vegetables) (if you eat like I do.  If you eat like Marshal, then it's enough for just yourself).<br> <br>Mediteran is tasty and moderately priced.  Their desserts are to die for.  Doesn't seem to be set for group outings, but I only saw the front of it at lunchtime, so I don't know for sure.  I had their spinach and cheese pie, the bean soup, and a slice of key lime pie.  <br> <br>Decker Coffee is good for pumpkin lattes.  Haven't had anything else of theirs, but considering I have a half hour of free time before I am scheduled to start every single day I work (gorram bus system), I'll probably be frequenting it, since it's not enough time to hop a bus to Gone Wired.<br> <br>The Daily Bagel makes a mean corned beef and swiss on rye.  Got it before going to work a week ago, for a snack on my break.  They close early though.<br><br>Haven't tried any of the bars, but that's because I'd be tempted for a liquid lunch/dinner, and that tends to be frowned upon...  <br> <br>Hope this helps!<br><br>~A~<br><br><br><br><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 11:53 PM, Chick Tower <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:c.e.tower@gmail.com">c.e.tower@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I forgot to mention that you should plan to eat either before or after<br> Thursday's meeting, because the library only allows "light refreshments"<br> in the conference room, whatever that means.  I'm sure pizza and<br> sandwiches don't qualify, though.<br> <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>                                Chick<br> <br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> linux-user mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</a><br> <a href="http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user" target="_blank">http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br></div>
