Hi there...

First of all: I did not know where to put that thread, it doesn't rly fit anywhere =)
/admin: move it to wherever you think it fits best.

I think that there are some ppl here working in Altstetten... So I thought we could meet for lunch once... If there are some ppl who are interested in that, we can open a thread in the social events forum...

surely lunch is a social event?

it sure is =) I actually thought you could post only events that are already organised and have a "yes - maybe - no" poll with it... But if that works thats fine =)

So, altstetten ppl, come out, come out whereever you are! =)

That's the difference between the "New Thread" and "New Event" that you'll find in the events forum

There's nothing stopping you putting a tag like (proposed) into the subject line, or even adding a poll to your thread to say something like "Who thinks and EF lunch in Altstetten would be a good idea?" Yes, No, Maybe. Remember to make a poll like that public so you can see who voted for what. That's a bit different to the RSVP system when you post an event.

Once you have enough interest, create an actual event, then paste a link to the event from your proposal thread and close it (or ask us to close it)

Hope it works out - there are a lot of people in Altstetten and a regular EF lunch event would be a great idea - maybe more people could start lunch events in their areas?

Exactly what I thought... We could like fix one day per week to have lunch somewhere (location may change every week then^^)
... If there are enough ppl interested in that...

excellent idea! i work in altstetten (badener strasse) and am open for any lunch get together's. time is mostly very flexible (i think - only started working there may 2nd, so experience is not too long...)

so, we just need to wait for some more interested in this =)

Count me potentially in...

allright, so shall I open a new thread with a date and then anyone interested can sign up to it...

What date then? Sometime next week?

next week sounds good for me!
anytime after 12pm is good. where do you want to meet?

next week is fine for me too... and so is anytime after 12 pm =)

I dont know where to meet. If anyone knows of a good restaurant make a suggestion =) However, I'd appreciate it if you don't choose a 100 Fr. lunch location, for I'm working on a temporary basis only and dont make 10grants per month

where in altstetten do people work? because even within the same district distances could be too far to travel for just a lunch break..
well, i work at badenerstrasse 574 (tram stop kappelli - sp?)
we- at ubs- have a reasonably priced canteen (lunch menus including soup and side salad for 8.60chf to 12 chf max) - guests are welcome, however need to pay a bit more - but we can all get it on my name and you pay me back :-)
apart from the canteen there are many restaurants at the letzipark shopping mall.

I just work on the other side of the railway then =) in the big, blue building =)

//Edit: Just found out there's 2 UBS in Altstetten =) Well, I work near the one at the station... Not the one you mean though =)

There are also 2 chinese restaurants right at the station, and a nice Italian one near Migros...

i have been to one of the chinese one (tram stop freihofstrasse) and including drink it was close to 30 chf - to be fair, it was a huge portion but still for just a lunch a bit pricey for me...
the italian has delicious pizzas - price ok - however a reservation is a must, otherwise there is no way to get a table (pizza place called Züri Pizza)

the 2 chinese at the railway station are reasonably priced (u dont get huge portions however) (around 20 Fr. I think, have only been to one of them)

Anyways, first of all, we need to get more ppl to join us =)

I might be able to join with my husband, it depends the day though. We live in Schlieren so we might be able to make it for a lunch before our late afternoon classes or on our way back from classes. My schedule changes a bit depending the week..

Since we are on a graduate school income, affordable/cheaper is better for us, and we don't know Altstetten very well so we would be coming one stop from the S-bahn. (closer to the train station works better for us)

Hope I can join as well ... but I'm very often busy or travelling during lunch time. Anyway, I work at Badenerstrasse 600 (Tram Stop Kappelli). And no, I don't work for UBS (anymore) .

aight, I've just opened a poll. Just tick all the days that potentionally suit you...

Lunch get-together in Altstetten: Which day?
