Nous découvrirons de nouvelles saveurs et surtout les Pinsa, une recette romaine, qui nous régaleront de plaisirs.
Le prix de base sera de 30 Euros. Le menu est en cours de finalisation, il y aura bien évidemment la pinsa, une spécialité de Rome et toutes les bonnes choses qu'e notre chère Aline a l'habitude de nous préparer 😋😋
Et préparez-vous, il y aura du karaoke 🎼🎤
Vi aspettiamo a braccia aperte 🌞

Full Moon Picnic Sun Feb 1st, 5-630 PM, Pont des Arts
**Ahoy there,**
The next full moon picnic will be Sun Feb 1st, from 5 - 6:30 PM. Moonrise will be around 5:40 PM.
I’m in Colorado so you’ll be warmly hosted and toasted by my charming side-kick, Catherine.
This full moon was known as known to American Indians as the Full Snow Moon. It was also known to unsuccessful hunters as the Full Hunger Moon.
**WHAT**: Everyone brings food and drink to share. You will be most warmly received if you bring hot chocolate, spiced wine, coffee, tea, etc.
**WHERE**: Pont des Arts. We'll gather around a bench near the middle of the bridge. Nearest metros: Pont Neuf and Louvre-Rivoli.
**WHEN**: Sun Feb 1st, from 5 - 6:30 pm
**WHY**: Share one of the most memorable sights in Paris with some of the nicest people around.
**WHO**: You and your friends.
**HOW** to find us: Look for a group of laughing “lunatics" speaking English and French around a bench near the middle of the bridge. No telescope this time.
**THEME**: Febrrrruary
**PUZZLER**: There is no puzzler again this month. I was moaning about how much rabbit-hole time it takes me to come up with a puzzler each month - even though I really enjoy learning new things about our cosmos. Someone suggested the obvious solution - just stop posing puzzlers, duh! Which makes a lot of sense cuz I know the vast majority of recipients don’t actually read the email, except perhaps to check the upcoming date (in the subject heading). So since you indeed have read this far, please send a message and tell me whether it’s worth continuing to pose those puzzlers.
**PUZZLER ANSWER**: The answer is in your hands. 🤣
Ciao for niao,
**Captain Bob**

👉 **To attend, you’ll need to complete registration via this link:**

We’ll share the exact location of the upcoming meetup the night before only if you have bought a ticket or membership plan.

\* Curated lunch venues with good food and vibe.
\* If you hit it off with your group, there’s plenty of time to hang out afterwards.

Cafe Istanbul-Easton
Let’s meetup at Cafe Istanbul for the last day of Restaurant Week. You get three courses for $30.
This is the menu:
https://614now.com/rw-menu/cafeistanbul-easton
Astra Rooftop
Hello everyone!
For our first dinner together, we’re keeping things low-key and casual. Take a look at the menu and let us know what you think we want this to be easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.
Quick housekeeping note: many restaurants require most of the party to be present before seating. No-shows impact the entire group, so if someone repeatedly commits and doesn’t show more than once, we’ll have to remove you from future dinners to keep things fair and smooth for everyone.
Looking forward to a great night and even better conversations 🍽️✨
French conversation club
Bienvenue! Columbus French Conversation group invites you to our Saturday morning French conversation club. Expect a casual and welcoming atmosphere in which to learn french! I will bring my laptop so we can look up new vocabulary as needed! The venue is a beautiful French restaurant so you can really get into the zone :)
Let's Fondue!
Yes, the [Chocolate Café](https://www.chocolatecafecolumbus.com/menu-1?menu=signature-desserts) serves chocolate fondue *(Chocolate Fondue Day is Feb 5th)*! No one does chocolate fondue like they do. It's rich, creamy, and served with an array of fresh fruit and other dipping items. They encourage making it a party! A perfect winter warmup to share with friends!
**Chocolate Fondue Kit:** Served with dippers, including marshmallows, Rice Krispie treats, graham crackers, pound cake, strawberries, and pretzels.
**COST**: Bring ***$5.00 cash*** to cover your portion of our delightful dessert bar.
**EARLY ARRIVALS**: Go ahead and order dinner (before dessert). I love their toasted sandwiches and their soups.
**PARKING**: In our parking lot, on the street (but not between 4-6 pm) or behind the Buckeye State Building.
[Chocolate Cafe](https://www.chocolatecafecolumbus.com/): A fully stocked amount of *chocolate candies* including truffles, chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate and caramel turtles. We have menu options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Join us for brunch or a late night meal. Soups, salads & sandwiches served daily.
