Doing an hour train ride at railroad museum, having an early dinner than going up to Wilderness in the smokies water park for the weekend.
Hope the monsoon didn't prevent the train ride. Heaviest rain I have seen in a while. Also, I have eaten tacos the past 2 days for lunch. Does anyone have an authentic rec for tacos? Loa #11is my go to.
Haven't been to jalisco in a really long time. Near it a the time and not really sure why I keep a avoiding it. Had pozole at Cueno that was good. Not out that way that often though.
Just saw it yesterday. Was pretty empty but some of their specialty tacos sound interesting. Down main their is a Guatamalan place that's good. Ate their yesterday called San Marco's.
My house is out by cunao and anytime I was close to jalisco I had to grab something. I need to get back in town and visit these places
I have Trampled by Turtles tickets to The Caverns for this Friday 25th and Saturday 26th that I'm trying to unload. I've got 4 tickets for both days (8 total) in POD 112. Will seperate and accepting all offers.
Staying at the Read house for a few days next week and taking my kid to aquarium/zoo/children's museum. I'm going to go back and look through this thread but any recs for casual restaurants or take out? I'm definitely going back to the Italian place you guys recommended earlier this summer. Was fantastic.
Han Mi on Broad St(not sure if kids would like it) Tremont Tavern Il Primo The Boathouse/Sidetracks Bleu Fox Cheese Shop(sandwichs) Daily Ration(call b4 you haul) Childrens museum is a cesspool of germs. Would avoid at this time. Depending on age of kids the incline>point park>incline>1885
Would throw in Montague park Zoo is small but pretty jammed with cool stuff Feed Table and Tavern Lupis
The zoo here is laid out nicely. We go a lot. We have started loving Pizza Bros. Lupis is classic though and will never turn it down. Once again depending on age, the Pumpkin Patch on Signal is a favorite of my oldest. To the person who asked the original ?, go hiking at Prentice Cooper and then eat at River Drifters on way back. I do this a lot with my oldest.
Will probably try the pizza place. Have tickets to children's museum but they were cheap as shit so may cancel. Don't want my kids getting sick.
Creative Discovery sucks. Hard pass. High Point Climbing has a kids area that’s pretty cool if they are old enough. Ruby Falls or Rock City if you’ve never been. My kids like Mr T’s pizza and ice cream if we’re out that way, super casual.
I see rave reviews for this place Community Pie.. As advertised or are the other places better? Main street meats/blue Orleans/Champys also caught my eye. Il primo is my first stop for sure. Breakfast from daily ration as well.
Community Pie is good but I'd go Pizza Bros or Lupis instead. If you're into the style of pizza Community Pie specializes then by all means check them out. Main Street Meats is excellent. Champys is good but it's been a while since I've been and I haven't been to Blue Orleans in years. I think it was on one of those restaurant rescue shows or something. I dont think it's anything special. I'm a big fan of Brewhaus, Taconooga, and Big Chill - all on the North shore. 1885 in St. Elmo is also really good. State of Confusion on Main St is a good spot if you're looking for outdoor seating.
Skip Blue Orleans. Used to be great but I am very surprised they are still in business. Not a fan of Community Pie. Pizzeria Cortille in Red Bank, Pizza Bros, Lupis are the 3 pizza joints you should consider imo.
Have any of you guys been to the rodizio Brazilian steakhouse place? I see it's 100 feet from my hotel.
Pizza Bros is fantastic as well. I can't wait until December to get back in town and revisit all the places I miss
Actually had Southside Pizza a couple of months ago as well and it was also a good pie. Reminiscent of Pizza Bros but with a slightly less crispy crust. Also had a Calabrian chili oil to put on the pizza that added a nice kick.
Is it the same godfathers owned by known science denier and trump supporter Herman Cain? Covid got the last laugh there.
Nah, Goodfellas. Small chain (like 5 restaurants) of speakeasy-themed pizza restaurants. Try to do the NYC-style thing with an arcade, and then have a speakeasy styled downstairs cocktail bar called Wiseguys Lounge.
No, that’s been gone forever. That’s where Purple Daisy is now. I think they moved only though I don’t recall where.
Not that one. I know there's at least still one on Lee Highway near the mall and one out near Chester Frost Park.
Was planning to go as well. Childcare kind of fell through on us. May just try to get my son to bed around 715 and then come solo. Gonna gauge my wife’s reaction to that shortly.
That is my plan as well. The Guatamalan restaurant next door is really good too. Do they own all the Armandos or just that one?
Just that one. They own a few Choo Choo BBQ’s around town too, plus my buddy is about to open a place called Proper Pig on E. Brainerd Rd in the old Wendy’s. I sold him that bldg in December but he can’t find help right now to actually open.
Any solid breweries in town? Would probably just be picking stuff up to go but like getting local stuff.
