We've been meeting at places like The Rincon Center, or The Westfield food
court, which have a whole bunch of options surrounding a common area to sit
down.  (I feel like there's a term for this type of setup other than "food
court", but it isn't coming to mind at the moment.)  I think this is a
really good model for us, and avoids having to deal too much with dietary
restrictions, or people arriving at exactly the same time, etc.  I like it
much more than trying to find a sit down place that accommodates everyone.

Oh, that sounds nice.  No, I'm not familiar with that building lobby, but
it sounds like we should try it.  I'll keep my eye out for it next time I
walk by 2nd and Mission.
