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?

Bryan Caplan's avatar

Nothing planned yet. Maybe something after dinner?

Clem's avatar

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

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

Clem's avatar

Sure, sounds good!

Bryan Caplan's avatar

Know a place to recommend? Maybe 8 PM?

David R Henderson's avatar

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

HH's avatar

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.

Bryan Caplan's avatar

Yes, at the end will work better.

Errikos's avatar

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.

Sándor's avatar

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/

Bryan Caplan's avatar

Cool, maybe something after dinner?

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

Sándor's avatar

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.

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

Sándor's avatar

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?

Devon Fritz's avatar

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

froschfilm's avatar

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

Bogusław Kołodziej's avatar

See you in Wrocław!

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

Mark's avatar

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

Diogo Gugisch's avatar

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

Timothy's avatar

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

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

Timothy's avatar

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

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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.

Clem's avatar

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

organising would maybe be possible, not sure

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

buttstuff's avatar

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.

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

buttstuff's avatar

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.

buttstuff's avatar

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

buttstuff's avatar

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.

buttstuff's avatar

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.

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

Bryan Caplan's avatar

Ok, let’s do Orange Beach.

Leonardo Chiocchetti's avatar

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

Bryan Caplan's avatar

Nothing planned now, but available to meet.

Leonardo Chiocchetti's avatar

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

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

Bryan Caplan's avatar

Sure, please email me directly.

Konrad's avatar

Will the speaking event in Vienna be open to anyone?

Bartek's avatar

Any particular event in Poznan?

Bryan Caplan's avatar

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

Bartek's avatar

I do! I emailed you some suggestions :)
