Long Beach Black Friday Offline 11/27 @ Benley

Event Planner - Online or Offline

Daisy and I will be back in So Cal for the T-Day weekend, and I’m already suffering serious offline withdrawals! To run it up the flagpole, who would be in for a Friday night dinner, details to be arranged promptly? Post your interest and I’ll get the ball rolling. Who won’t need a break from L-tryptophan-laced leftovers?!

UPDATE: Owing to already-expressed interest and the fact that Daisy wanted to try somewhere she hadn’t been, I’ve made a reservation for 12 at Benley for 7 pm. I am not particularly attached to a theme, especially since we’re traveling, so bring what you want to share, or what past experience tells you could pop in pairing with Benley’s menu. I think my better half would love to see a few choices with bubbles, though!

I was thinking of a Vietnamese owned Chinese Seafood restaurant. $9.99lb lobster anyone?! I brought 4 bottles to one of them off Westminster a few months ago and wasn’t charged corkage. I could call the place.

or Kris… if you want me to set up something at The West Coast Duck House… I could do that as well! I can just try and book us the whole back room. For those that don’t know about the Duck House… it’s Peking Duck… roughly 20-25 a person… with tons of duck and tons of other dishes as well, with $20 corkage per table. I could book a reservation this weekend if need be.

Updated first post with venue chosen and booked! Looking forward to it, peeps.

Thanks, all, for the interest shown so far. I will miss seeing those who can’t join us.

Francine, I would love to be able to make it for Rob’s dinner, but will have to join you in spirit only. There’s a Mimi’s here in JAX, maybe I can eat there at the same time. ;^)~

Please bring a stem or two for yourselves. Benley has decent stems, but not for a group of our size. May I also appeal to someone to provide Daisy and me with a glass each? TIA!
