I'm reporting back on my assignment to find a restaurant for a "birds-of-a-feature" dinner on Friday night, Oct. 2, during the Online News Association
 
convention. I sent emails to four or five friends and then sifted though and reviewed their recommendations.
 
 
The best idea came from Fabrice Florin, founder of Newstrust.net, who recommended Café de la Presse, at 352 Grant Ave., between Bush and Sutter.
 
415-398-2680. It's a small, French bistro-style restaurant. It's right near Chinatown. And the decor is appropriate -- it features newspapers from around
 
the globe.
