Just wanted to let you know we have decided on a venue for the after show dinner in Montreal on Friday, March 1st.
We will be meeting at Dynastie Restaurant in Chinatown. It’s on Clarke Street just south of La Gauchetière.
Okay, so they don’t serve pizza but they are open late and it is walking distance from the venue.
Please meet us there at 11pm!...

I'm organizing Storyville Mosquito after show dinner in Montreal for my patreon patrons. It will be on Friday, March 1st and it will be late (11pm) because it's Montreal on a Friday (and I expect we'll be leaving the theatre around 10:30 after the meet and greet). I'll find a restaurant within walking distance of Place des Arts.
