In reply to: Add me to the list posted by Los Irish
at Nine Fine Irishmen on Friday. Several famous ex-ND players will be there to meet and socialize.
We’ll be going. I don’t know if you have to be an alum to go, but they did ask me for
my grad year in the signup.
My cousin works there - ask for Wally. Coincidentally, our parents (his dad and my mom are siblings) are also from PA - Scranton/Clarks Summit area.
Try to hit both nine fine and Ri Ra Saturday starting late morning. We are from Allentown, our daughter lives in Vegas and is a dancer in Vegas the Show at Planet Hollywood. We’re starting to know the area.
Fish and Chips, Shepard's Pie, etc.
the menu on-line and you hit it right on the head. It is every stereotypical irish food item.
Of German descent, I have no chips in this fight but this from Winton Marsalis and Jon Baptiste ("Boyhood") surprised me about the Irish roots of Afro-American music:
Maggiano's, perhaps Bucca Di Peppo, etc.
is a pretty cool experience, old-school place. The ghost of Sinatra still haunts it. Right behind the Flamingo.
I like their menu, but the wine list is a little lacking.
We are having dinner there on thursday,
so we shall see.
I asked the most reliable sources -- craps dealers -- and they said something is in the works but no specific dates or names.
