Sun December 30 at 11:00 AM, Rosamunde
2832 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
Update: we have confirmed brunch plans for Sunday, Dec. 30! Rosamunde in Mission (link above).
I'm going to be in the Bay Area for a couple days around New Years, but my brother (who I usually spend my time with while visiting the area) is going to be out of town. What's to do? Who to share meals with? Let me know if you're up for other meetups as well as the confirmed Sunday brunch?
I'm in the Union Square neighborhood, staying at a hostel there.

I'm around and I'd be down for grabbing drinks sometime. Depends on the day. What days are you free to hang out with folks?

Drinks, lunch, brunch, dinner - what days/times might work for you?

Days when I am in SF and do not yet have anything scheduled or tentatively scheduled include Dec. 30, 31, and Jan. 2.
I am a big fan of brunch! (Brunch can also include drinks.) Has there ever been a metafilter brunch meetup? We could inaugurate such a thing. I would need something with a vegetarian option, and not *too* pricey.
Are there any community potluck meals, movies/music in public parks, or such going on during my visit?

I could hang out tomorrow or Sunday. If it isn't rainy, I'm going to do free outdoor yoga in Golden Gate Park for the first time.
MeMail me if you'd like to join.

yep. It was a long, hazy day of drinking.

I could be down for another brunch meetup, provided there are safeguards in place to make sure I get my gyoza.

Weee time travel! (I left Hong Kong Saturday at 12:30pm, and arrived in San Francisco around 8:00am the same day!)
Looks like I missed yoga in the park though. Brunch on Sunday sounds good though. 11am? Location suggestion?

Rosamunde in the mission? They do have vegan options

posted by special-k at 5:20 PM on December 29, 2012
Apparently our requirements include: veg-friendly traditional brunch fare, gyozas, and mimosas/kir royals/other brunch cocktails... might be slightly tricky:-P
If this doesn't come together for tomorrow, who's available Monday or Wednesday (doesn't have to be the same time)? Or we could try for later in the day tomorrow.

Ignore the gyoza, this place does have mimosas though. brunch without a long wait is tricky for a large party. Not sure how many of us are in for this one.

This Rosamunde options sounds decent. Would it be better to arrive closer to their opening time of 10:00? At the least, let's congregate there; I'm sure that there will be restaurants serving hearty Mexican brunches and hot chocolate nearby as a fallback option?

Rosamunde should be fine. 10 is too early. Maybe 11.

Now that I actually read the whole thread, it looks like this is for brunch tomorrow morning. I'm probably in, but what time?
posted by madcaptenor at 10:05 PM on December 29, 2012
posted by madcaptenor at 10:05 PM on December 29, 2012
I vote for like 11 or noon, because I am slow in the morning each and every time I can be. (And yeah right now it says it's already happened.)

It's an easy mistake to make (I do it all the time). But I'm pretty sure this is for tomorrow at 11.

Nothing like a barrage of texts from brunching mefites to get one out of bed! We are showering and considering leaving the house.

Moar B12 and vitamin C. If that doesn't improve stuff then more mimosas.
Thanks for rallying!
