Anyone else going to Cisco live?
If so any interest in doing lunch some time; seems there is ALOT going on in the evenings but I don't see anything scheduled around noon maybe we have more people who can make a lunch.

It's my 1st time at Cisco live :-D

Most of the places near the Moscone around lunch time are going to be PACKED.

Walk a few blocks away, though, and the crowds aren't so bad.
Take a baseball bat and trash all the routers, shout out "IT'S A NETWORK PROBLEM NOW, SUCKERS!" and then peel out of the parking lot in your Ferrari.

I'd suggest 11AM, since that's right when the lunch crowds start to form, and you have a chance at getting a table somewhere. There's a really good noodle shop on 4th, just north of Moscone North and pretty much across the street from Moscone West.

If you go when there's a keynote happening, you've got a real good chance of getting quick service.

Agreed and QFT. This is San Francisco, you're on the company card, get some good food in you.

Wednesday lunch at 11 is good for me. I have the IoE keynote scheduled so I dont mind missing it. Unless someone else has a kick-ass session going then.

:doh:

That's right. Still, San Diego has some good eats, I'm sure. I'm just planning to go back to RSA next year, so I'm keeping my Frisco game fresh.

I live in San Diego.  Let me know if you want to know good places to eat. 

EDIT - Would like to meet you guys in person - that'd be cool.  I got to speak with burnyd a bit on the phone a while ago.  First live interaction with a N-Fs.com member. :)

How many people can you sit comfortably in your car, AspiringNetworker? Maybe you can whisk them to a part of town not slammed at lunchtime by convention-goers.

Up to you whether or not you want to have the logo of a Cisco competitor prominently displayed on your vehicle as a means of easily identifying it in the hustle and bustle of the convention...

:problem?:

How much time will you have?  I assume it's being held at the convention center - I know a few places in and around the area that may be just a bit outside walking distance that may not be too busy during that timeframe... some things that immediately come to mind:

Italian?  Bencotto:
http://lovebencotto.com/
* If you've never had gelato like me, I'd also highly recommend at some point you check out Pappalecco - it's freakin' good!  The cute authentic Italian (or good impersonators) girls that work at the one in Little Italy aren't bad on the eyes either, haha.

Love meat? Fogo De Chao:
http://www.fogodechao.com/menu
*Warning:  It's all you can eat meat - so be prepared for the "itis" to set in in the afternoon.  It's ridiculous.  Haven't went there for lunch though.

Eye candy, great burgers and other food (Way better than Hooters)?  Tilted Kilt:
http://www.tiltedkilt.com/locations/missionvalley/
*Be sure to check out the photo gallery for a preview.. *cough*

Wanna snuggle?  Melting Pot(Fondue):
http://www.meltingpot.com/san-diego-gaslamp/welcome
*Ok - that was a joke... "unless you goin' do it"

There's also great sushi, pho, and other stuff too, but I'd have to ask some buddies for good spots.  There's a TON of good places to eat in San Diego.  There's San Diego favorites like Phil's BBQ and In-N-Out burger as well...

It's an accord sedan so I can fit 3 comfortably, 4 with a squeeze - and no need to worry about making my head explode if you guys want to talk Cisco. ;)  I'll just stare into my beer and keep my comments to myself..... haha.
