Hi Martin. Jeffrey would like to have the dinner in your office at 8pm on Sun. Nov. 30th. The attendees will be:

Jeffrey
Martin
Joi Ito
Reid Hoffman
Larry Summers
George Church

You will be able to arrange the dinner and a dry erase board? [Redacted]

perfect

will some ofjeffrey's assistants be here too? (to let the guests into the building etc.)

I am positive Jeffrey will bring one if not two or more assistants with him...just not sure who it will be as of yet...as the date approaches we will figure out..

hi ! is your office arranging the catering?

good question...who usually handles the food? Jeffrey will pay for it of course...let me ask him what he wishes to do...Could you suggest places that cater? Perhaps I can send him menus so he can have a look...

sure i'll look into local caterers who are available that weekend (Thanksgiving).

great...steak, burgers, sushi, chicken parm...those are all things I know he likes ;)

that sounds delicious!

as i recall George Church has some unusual dietary restrictions?

hmm...not sure..it's possible...I don't have anything in my notes regarding dietary restrictions. I can always ask...

i recall that he's vegan and also has some allergies.

quick question: does Jeffrey want full service catering (fancy plated dinner) or buffet/casual or ?

May! We need to have a birthday cake as well!! It is Larry Summers 60th birthday :) (shhhhh to be a surprise!!) Jeffrey says he wants to make the dinner fun! Not stuffy...relaxed atmosphere...

hi

i called around and these 3 restaurants (menu links below) can deliver for 8pm Sunday Nov 30th.

my favorite sushi place in cambridge: http://yokirestaurant.corn/Menus.html for platters select sushi, rolls, sashimi from menu and/or chefs choice. for George they can prepare a separate plate without animal products (eggs, milk, cheese) and rice is gluten free and they have both regular and gluten free soy sauce.

Martin's favorite gourmet pizza and salad: http://thejustcrust.corn/catering/specialty-pizzas/ for George they can make separate pizza with gluten free flour and salads without animal products.

Oggi can deliver burgers

but i worry about grilled food
arriving cold/soggy.

I'm still waiting to hear back from this regional Italian restaurant in boston because they are supposed to have great Parmigiana di Polio (Chicken Parmigiana) http://casarazdora.com/catering-menu/

this bakery near the institute has interesting cakes http://www.finaledesserts.corn/bakery/menu.php in addition to the round cakes (largest 10 inch serves 12-16) we can order larger rectangular sheet cakes with more traditional options like white or chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. in case the cake can't be delivered could Jeffrey's assistant(s) walk 0.1 mile to pick it up? https://goo.gl/maps1T93E9
