Folks, I am all set to have yet another interesting and fun gathering! This time, it will take place at...

EVENT LOCATION:
Ali Baba Turkish Cuisine
212 East 34th Street (between 2nd and 3rd Avenues)
New York, NY 10016
212-683-9206
www.alibabaturkishcuisine.com

I have been to this place a few times and find it to be excellent in terms of the quality of food, atmosphere, and service. Moreover, the food is halal.

At our lunch gathering, the cost per person will amount to $40+tax+service charge. There will be a set menu per person for a group of our size; it will include appetizer, salad, main entree, dessert, and tea or coffee. Please view the lunch menu on the restaurant's site; hope you like the offerings.

This restaurant is conveniently located and accessible via car or train; it is located in Midtown Manhattan within blocks of NY Penn Station.

EVENT DATE & TIME:
Saturday, April 21, 2007 at 1:00pm sharp

DRESS CODE:
Casual nice or semi-casual

If you haven?t already done so, please RSVP by Tuesday, April 10, 2007 by indicating if you will be coming and who you plan to bring with you (if anyone at all) by letting me know in this JE, e-mailing me at my Naseeb e-mail, or e-mailing me personally at [email protected]

*No backing out last minute* It is rude and inconsiderate; I?m sure that, as professionals, you understand the value of keeping your word. Plus, I have to organize the gathering based on the EXACT number of people who will be attending. Thanks in advance for understanding.

As we get closer to the event, I will personally e-mail each attendee with more details.

Let's make this gathering happen. Thanks!
