milan 5/12
Anyone interested in dinner/meeting up later today
I'm hanging out near central station right now and will probably be checking out more museums near the city center in a bit as well 🙂

Dinner could be a vibe! @doubledup and I are still en route to the city but should be all set up by 5pm at the latest and can plan to meet somewhere convenient to you after that.
Sounds good!
I'm down for dinner as well! Excited now that everyone's arriving
Any suggestions on where/when? We are now set up at the hotel (near Hotel Domenichino) and could come to the city.
We could meet e.g. at the memorial Garibaldi (station Cairoli).
There seem to be parks and food around.
Seems like most places open around 6/7, maybe can meet up there in an hour or so to find a place
I would suggest meeting there at 6. We were having trouble finding something earlier yesterday. Worst case we can kill some time strolling through or sitting in the park.
Also I'm seeing 2 Garibaldis when I type into maps, one near city central and one near a train station, which one is it?
Giuseppe Garibaldi
Memorial: geo:45.46823,9.18225?z=18

But we are open to other suggestions in case that's inconvenient.
Works for me, should be central to anyone else using the metro as well, see you there at 6!
Looking forward to it!
Short hair, dressed all black/blue, looking like we do not belong. You should have an easy time spotting us. 😉
Haha, I have very long hair, wearing a red shirt so should also be easy to spot
just scream "Zig" or something like that :^)
I'm wearing black clothes w sunglasses. Running a bit late
We arrived and are waiting on the backside of the memorial, because shade.
We’re about 100 m away, crossing to the memorial now. I’m carrying a coat, Dave’s got a black backpack
A tiny, Dora the explorer sized backpack
The memorial is the statue right?
We are a group of 5 now, chatting in English.
Are you on the way still?
Yes, sorry. I’ll be there in 20-ish mins
Don’t wait for me if you find a spot
We'll let you know where.
At bar castello, sitting outside facing the building/fountain
Here's an idea for dinner: take the metro and go to navigli, it's going to be packed full of places to eat and drink
Navigli are the water canals in the south west area
Alongside the canals you can find plenty of tiny bars that have buffet or some comparable kind of aperitif-style dining, plus a few regular restaurants

Heard good things about this place, never went though. You might want to call first to ensure they have room
Ooo thanks for the recc! Ended up hanging out by the park nearby, hopefully will be able to check that place out later in the week
It was a very nice evening and a pleasure to meet you all! Thanks to @Erin for initiating it!
