Garcias?
yes, on the nostalgia. Overall experience can affect so many things. Have a mediocre meal but eat it in your favorite place in the world, drink a bad beer on a tropical beach. Etc.
Yeah, I'm not a foodie, but one of my favorite meals ever was some grilled chicken and black beans at Trunk Bay on St Johns Island USVI. Gorgeous beach in a national park and there was a concession stand right there that had a decent sandwich type menu, and (surprisingly to me) sold beer and mixed drinks. Best, probably cheapest and most simple meal of the trip.
I haven't been back in town for 35 yrs but did some virtual exploring on google maps street view a while back, and saw Clark JH converted into apartments. I had to scratch my head when you mentioned 'tunnel' since it's been more than 40 yr, but now I think I remember there was a hallway under the street connecting Clark and the old LIncoln HS? Memory getting foggy as I get older.
Agreed. I've had bad pizza.
Nick's food, in general, has gone downhill over the years. The pizza is OK, but not as good as I remember it. Their burgers used to be great, too. The last couple I've had have been dry. It might help if I didn't go with the 10,000 other alumni at the same time.
i have a reservation there for saturday night, mother bears will be friday night. can't wait!
Yes, staffing issues, plus don’t even open the hump room, or even the attic (at times).
I loved the attic and it's sometimes not open. I spent half my college time up there, I think. Never was a big fan of the Hump Room - not enough atmosphere.
Same here, though spent the day in the Hump room with a big group for the ‘87 title game.
Man, I haven't had it in so long, but I loved me some Noble Roman's deep dish back in the day! Don't know if there are still any left, but I have seen 1 or 2 around the Carolinas at one time or another!
you can order something other than a strom at Nicks? I mean beside pints? Thought it was a 2 item menu...
Didn't Pizza Hut start in Omaha?
Yeah, you can also get fries in addition to a stromboli and beer.
Really! If you find one, let me know, because I'd go in a heartbeat.
I got burned out on stroms and I'm afraid it doesn't have the cache it used to. Maybe my taste buds have changed, I don't know. If I get one, it's a BBQ strom.
We have a noble Roman’s craft pizza pub on the west side of Evansville. The deep dish and breadsticks are spot on. The hand tosses is not.
You must not have been in band/ chorus or you would remember the tunnel. We had to go over to Lincoln every day for music stuff. My "boyfriend" when I was in 7th grade was a frosh and we would leave notes in the tunnel to each other. He's my friend that lives in the apartments now (boyfriend in quotes because we are both gay and even though we didn't know it at the time were really just friends more than anything).
that was the 2nd item. Wasn't counting beer on the menu... I jest!
We had a Mobil Romans (how did that not catch on?) next to us on Walnut when I lived in a big house with 5 other friends and one of our roommates delivered for them. He'd bring home all the leftover breadsticks and cheese dip at night after close and any pizzas leftover... heaven when he walked in and you weren't expecting it! Occasionaly we would call and order a bogus pie for delivery, because they'd usually call us and let us buy it for half off if it wasn't claimed. At times we'd have to order 2 bogus, the first they might eat and then the 2nd for us!
Just checked their website: no luck, but I know I saw one in eastern NC once upon a time, but I used to travel more in the state with a former job. Believe it was in Fayetteville, and there may have been more than one. There also used to be a Godfathers in Park Rd Shopping Center many moons ago.
The new one sucks.
Yeah, we could do that. Is it a sit-down place? TVs? Maybe meet up for a game if they do.
Next to the old noble Roman’s. 1713 N college. IGA used to be there also. Don’t mind the sidearm. Rocky has open carry.

The first thing you have to do it cut a hole in the ice
It is a sit down place and I remember it having a nice interior, but don't know about TVs. I'll have to check on that. Portofinos is good for pizza and also as a sit down Italian place. Pretty reasonably priced, good food and great fresh bread! If you have one near you, it's a good place for a meal/date.
I see there's a Pizza Peel in Matthews, too. People in my neighborhood rave about Portofino's, so I need to check it out.
I think it's really good for the price. Very good pastas and pizza, calamari and it's pretty reasonable.
Table hell, you should be more concerned with parking.
This was our experience as well in Zville. Sticks and deep dish were similar to the old days but the hand tossed is crap.
Yeah, if you are going to the campus location...which is better...parking sucks badly. All the residential streets are now permit. We got towed from a closed office strip behind there that was all closed for the day.
As long as the deep dish Scicilan is the same, I'm good.
I shudder to think what I payed for towing when I was a student - and I couldn't afford it.
