Angelenos: if you didn't know that there is a new-ish restaurant/brewery at Union Station (which replaces several failed and/or surly previous instances), then I would like to let you know that "Everywhere" is a fine, fine spot. Not super cheap, but not completely outrageous. It's a really big - and utterly gorgeous - space.
Anyhoo - it's also one of those spots that's good for meeting up with a group, and I'm thinking that maybe we should do a Fediverse meetup there. Can people get to Union Station?
