DC to Durham (NC not NH) Tuesday

[Ben Rocky '04]

I might be crazy but I'm thinking of going to Duke for Tuesday's LAX game.  Anyone else in the DC-area insane enough to wanna join me?

That's beautiful [*sniff*].

Go over to Cornell's facility near Dupont Circle (22nd & O, NW) and put up a flyer. They get traffic from both Cornell-in-Washington program students who live there and alums visiting the Cornell Club of Washington's offices.

One of my absolute favorite Cornell sports road trips ever was driving down to Chapel Hill from DC with some friends for the first round of the NCAA playoffs in 1988. A huge upset win for Cornell that day.

So, yea, I'm gonna go.  Any one know of a good &/or unique restaurant or automat in Durham?

PS: Duke sucks.

Try Foster's Market for good casual food in a comfortable atmosphere.  Brunch is popular there.

Brightleaf Square has a number of interesting restaurants and is near campus (East Campus).

Within short walking distance of the lacrosse field is the Washington Duke hotel, good food in an nice hotel restaurant.

Avoid the much hyped Magnolia Grill - very expensive, noisy and wait staff can have an attitude.

Actually, I did "hear."  Interesting idea to revive it.  Suspect I'm one of few here who frequented Automats.  Kind of nice to pick out the slice of pie or piece of cake that looked the best.::nut::

Too clarify, I used the word 'automat' because I couldn't remember the name of the food establishment frequented by Fry and Bender in Futurama that served food on a conveyer belt.  And yes, I did graduate in 1904 :-P

All this time I thought we were on the same page politically and now I find out that your avatar is about Donie Bush.

Is that the same conveyor belt where Lucy and Ethel were boxing the chocolates?**]

The Online has so much useful infotainment you can superhighway out of the tubes.  The Futurama place will be the "Food-O-Mat":

And that's fantastic about the new NYC Automat.  I have a very vivid memory  from my early childhood of my dad taking me to an Automat in New York City and having him tell me to remember the experience since I probably would never have the chance to eat at one again since it was closing.  I was under the impression that it was the last automat, but an article I found about Bamn claims the last automat closed in 1991.

Oh, and Beat Duke!

[quote KeithK]That sounds vile.[/quote]I wasn't endorsing the food quality, just pointing out that it exists.

Hmmm. Do I hear a groundswell of support for a CU luncheon at the new automat on November 24th before we screw BU?
