Looking very much forward to see you in Hannover! Not a local, though - but a stroll along The Nanas to the Pfannkuchen-haus? (They do steaks, too.) https://www.visit-hannover.com/en/view/content/507923/full/0/800566

I'll be in Hannover in the afternoon, too, as will one or two friends who'd also be down to meet. Is there a more concrete schedule for the Sunday?

Expand full comment

Nothing planned yet. Maybe something after dinner?

We could meet in the old town and grab a beer somewhere, there are multiple good places even a craft brewery which you usually dont see a lot in germany

Expand full comment

How about a beer garden? I don't actually drink but really like the atmosphere.

Expand full comment

Sure, sounds good!

Know a place to recommend? Maybe 8 PM?

Wow! Your itinerary reminds me the old line about European travel in the late 1960s: "If this is Tuesday, we must be in Belgium."

I'm close enough to Frankfurt to make it either day but I will leave the planning there to someone who lives there. I'm guessing the end of the trip will be more likely.

Expand full comment

Yes, at the end will work better.

Expand full comment

I am also in Frankfurt and would be interested in meeting.

See my response farther down in the thread--if you have suggestions for a place near the Messe/Gallus, it'd be most welcome!

We met last year in Budapest and I notice we happen to be in Warsaw at the same time. Had fun at the meetup last time, if there is something happening in Warsaw I’d love to join, schedules permitting.

Let me know if there's anything I can help with for the Berlin meetup. I actually recently created a Meetup group for fans of your writing https://www.meetup.com/bet-on-it-overcoming-bias-marginal-revolution-more/

Cool, maybe something after dinner?

Expand full comment

Sounds good!

One issue: I really want to see the Berlin Philharmonic at 8 PM. Probably out by 10 PM. Can you work around that?

Expand full comment

I definitely don't mind doing the meetup later. However, the nearby biergartens I found via Google Maps close at 11:00 PM, so if we are going to meet after 10 PM it may make sense to go to a different type of establishment, such as a bar.

I don't drink, so are there any late-night restaurants nearby? Any place quiet is good.

Expand full comment

There are a few restaurants nearby that open until late. This Indian restaurant seems to offer a wider range of non-alcoholic beverages compared to the typical German restaurant:

I'm staying at the Sheraton Berlin Grand Hotel Esplanade. Could you find a good biergarten nearby for say a 9 PM meet-up?

Expand full comment

Can also help coordinate this. Looking forward to meeting up!

Expand full comment

Happy to see you on the 24th of June in Berlin

Expand full comment

See you in Wrocław!

Expand full comment

And Warsaw!

Expand full comment

Cool, let's plan on AMRIT Restaurant Schoneberg at 10:30 PM.

Expand full comment

No Switzerland?

Expand full comment

Not this time.

Expand full comment

C'mon, it's just 4hrs by car or train to Munich.

Expand full comment

More like 5hrs for me, from Bern. Very tempting though.

Expand full comment

Will be there in Frankfurt on June 4. Looking forward to meeting you.

Expand full comment

At the Istanbul Fisch Grill? I'll try to post an update once we clear customs.

Expand full comment

Any place in Frankfurt is fine for me, Istanbul Fisch Grill or somewhere else.

Expand full comment

We'll be there at roughly 3 PM. If you email me, I'll try to send you an alert when we're heading over.

Expand full comment

I‘m living in hannover if you want to meet up or need a tour guide

organising would maybe be possible, not sure

Expand full comment

See if you can coordinate something with Mark and Jasper (above). After dinner is most likely best for me.

Expand full comment

Time and location for Linz are now in the body of the post (above).

Expand full comment

I'm in Frankfurt and would be pleased to help organize something. Assuming there's more flexibility at the end of the tour... my uncreative first suggestion would be a group dinner at an Apfelweinlokal in Sachsenhausen or elsewhere; alternatives could include a park picnic, ice cream parlor (which are surprisingly serious business in Germany), or any other good ideas others have.

I'm staying at the Holiday Inn Express Frankfurt Messe. Could you find something nearby around 9 PM on June 27?

Expand full comment

Just walked the area. I think the best option nearby is Orange Beach, which is a 20 min walk from your hotel. Outdoor seating by the river, typical German food. It’s probably not the best choice for maximizing attendance, as the area is not particularly well-connected by transit, but at the end of a long tour, getting to your hotel under your own power may be worth it. Let me know if you want to iterate.

Expand full comment

Yup, I’ll report back with some options in the next few days.

Expand full comment

Not my usual corner of the city so I'll plan on scoping some of these options out in person this weekend, but Orange Beach (more casual, sausages + beer overlooking the Main) or Maximilians or Gaststätte Eden (classic Biergarten) seem like good options.

Expand full comment

Ah, just seeing above that you don't drink--I think these options are still viable, the Biergartens will serve a full menu, and should be pretty quiet on a Tuesday evening. But let me know if something different appeals.

Expand full comment

OK, I'll post an update once I know more.

Expand full comment

Ok, let’s do Orange Beach.

Expand full comment

Delayed 7 min!

Expand full comment

Be there at 9:15

Expand full comment

No Amsterdam?

Expand full comment

Not this time.

Expand full comment

Are you planning any event in Munich or just visiting the city?

Expand full comment

Nothing planned now, but available to meet.

Expand full comment

Great! I see if I can organize something. Please let me know your plans for the day once you have them.

Expand full comment

Can you find a good biergarten in the downtown area for say 5:30 PM? Then I can announce.

Expand full comment

I’ve just emailed you on gmu.edu.

Expand full comment

Sure, please email me directly.

Expand full comment

Will the speaking event in Vienna be open to anyone?

Expand full comment

Yes!

Expand full comment

Amazing.

Expand full comment

Any particular event in Poznan?

Expand full comment

No, just a nice stop between Warsaw and Berlin. Unless you want to organize something!

Expand full comment

I do! I emailed you some suggestions :)
