Ahhh ... but Tony ... it isn't New Yawker ...

... it's N'Yawkuh.

You should've remembered that.

And as you can tell ... I'm not from N'Yawk ... I'm from Brooklyn.

Better yet...I "used to" be from Brooklyn once too.... Myrtle & Knickerbocker Ave's.

War-

Been over 25 years since I've been there, but that whera it all began so to speak. Would be interesting to visit the old neighborhood at least once...

I'm a bit surprised that nobody mentioned the Saratoga Springs farmers' market. High Rock off Lake.
Plenty of good fresh food.
Salad for sure.
Main course...use your imagination. Tomatoes, basil and pasta maybe if you have a cooking place. Fresh green beans on the side?
A fresh melon with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream on top makes a great desert.

You don't have to be rich to live well in Toga.

The money you save will buy a nice botle of wine to go with your dinner.

We go every Saturday morning Wayne. 9am. Get there right when it opens and get the best of everything.

I know this topic has been fairly beaten up, but any new suggestions for dinner spots?

One of the great threads RE: Toga on the board. Have gone to some great places I never would have gone w/out it.

Specifically The Wishing Well. What a great place. We eat, drink and then go sing with the piano player till they kick us out. I love that place!

OK, gotta go. Looks like August 16-17 midweek so hopefully not too crowded. Been there many times but wondering names of small motels off the exit where I'd have the best chance to get room at a decent price. You guys that live there can you help me?? I think it's off exit 7 if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks,

Spyder baby! Its called the Microtel and its off exit 7. Very cheap with few amenities but its very clean. All Microtel's are. Its a nice chain for guys who are traveling alone and are going to be out most of the day and don't need a pool, exercise room, etc. Just a good clean cheap room at a lower price.
When you are going to Saratoga you are going to be out of the room excpet for sleeping so why the hell would you need the Taj Mahal? Total waste to get an expensive fancy room that you won't be in except to sleep.
I send many out of town friends there. Its RIGHT off the exit and there is a restaurant across the street that you can eat and have a few beers at after you make your way back down. Its about 25 mins TOPS from room to track.
The phone number is (518) 782-9162 and I highly recommend it for people coming in from out of town who dont want to pay 1000 bucks for four nights.

The Golden Corral is actually not a bad place at all, especially if you are on a no carb/low carb diet. The sirloin is very good as is the rotisserie chicken and the salad bar is fantastic. Plenty of fresh vegetables as well. Very cheap for the quality of food you get if you are obviously not looking to go fancy and want to get a quick bite to eat.
In your case though Jerry I don't think its a good idea for you to dine there.

[Seattleallstar]

ive been really good about staying away from those types of places for a long while, but sometimes i feel like taking the 2 hour bus ride

Oracle,

Your the man! Thanks a bunch...owe you a beer when I'm there.
