Ok after consultation on IRC, we aren't going to do Dim Sum, since
vegetarian Dim Sum options are limited and Tollef has had good Dim Sum
before.
Instead we are going to meet at a Shanghainese restaurant called Nice
Green Bo, (also in Chinatown) which caters to omnivores and
vegetarians. http://nicegreenbo.com/menu.aspx (Zagat score 23)
We'll be meeting at noon. Please let us know, by emailing the list, if
are coming but will be running late so we make sure to reserve you a
spot. (But don't run too late!!)
Nice Green Bo: 66 Bayard St, New York, NY 10013

We have settled on meeting at Dinosaur BBQ
http://www.dinosaurbarbque.com/locations/harlem/ (Zagat score 23) at
6pm, on Monday evening, for dinner and drinks. We won't have a
reservation and will have to join the waitlist when we get there. (The
wait is expected to be 30-45 mins, but we'll be able to wait in the
bar). They have a great selection of beers.
No RSVP required unless you aren't going to be there at 6pm sharp,
when we will do a headcount and sign up for the waitlist. (It can't
hurt to let us know anyway.) In any case, please email the list if you
need to sync up.
Dinosaur BBQ: 700 W 125th St, New York, NY 10027
