At Casa Vecina, if we have a consensus, 3 PM (I think that's when they open). Casa Vecina is a restaurant/bar, pretty laid back with an eclectic decor. It's on Calle Regina, which was recently remodeled into a pedestrian-only street - sort of a quiet version of Calle Gante.
Casa Vecina website is at http://www.casavecina.com/ and though the site hasn't been updated in awhile, it has the address. Closest metro stop is Isabela Catolica on the pink line.
I'm not sure of the menu...basic, probably. |

No replies? I'm up for this one anyway. It might also be a good place to do a book swap if there are a few others up for it? I've got a fair variety of books to give, and am always on the lookout for something new to read.
Any interest in this? I don't want to turn up with a bag full and look a lemon if no one else is going to bring some! |

Can I be promised (in blood!  ) that I can get my books back? I am one of those people who cringes at lending her books in fear that I will never see them again.
I might be running a little late though as I have to run a Creative Writing Workshop Friday/Saturday (trying to sneak out early though!). |

I'm like that too, dixie. You're one of the few people in Mexico I feel safe lending my favorite books to. By the way, I'll be bringing a novel I borrowed from you a while ago to Saturday's get-together. |

That makes me feel better! Glad to know I'm not alone. I love sharing good literature but I also like to have the ability to revisit the book when I have the urge! |

Would that be Mr. Pip?? I forgot about that! I do need it back as I borrowed it from the school.  |

Well dust them off or stop using them as doorstops and bring them on down! 
See you Saturday... |

Hey
just seeing this now but would certainly like to go. http://www.casavecina.com/ doesn't work for me, but calle regina doesn't look like that long of a street. 
maybe see you tomorrow.

According to Casa Vecina's website, it's located at the corner of Callej�n de Mesones and Regina, which is between Isabel la Cat�lica and 5 de Febrero. The exact address is Primer Callej�n de Mesones 7.
Hope to see you there tomorrow! |
