Everything But Anchovies

[Dart~Ben]

Hmmm, so I have a Cornell person telling me Hanover is crappy, meanwhile my roommate from Ithica says Ithica is crappy. Hmmm, I wonder which one is crappier? ;-)

(and yes my roommate really is from Ithica)

[Dave \'02]

Ithaca is not a bad little town, with the excpetion that there are too many touchy feely types for my liking.  Maybe I'd have a different opinion if I grew up here.

[Keith K]

Is your roommate from Ithica, or Ithaca? :-)
I've heard Hanover described as a "little Ithaca" (by someone who knew I was applying for a job there once upon a time).  Personally, I don't like either town (although I love Cornell).  Then again, I'm a New Yorker...

like Melissa said, we did make it there. She was entertained by the cute kids. I was and still am addicted to watching the Olympics...gee, stuff like x-country skiing, curling...stuff I never thought I'd watch I would sit happily and stare at it on the TV...and then of course there's hockey.

Hanover vs. Ithaca. One weekend when I was still in high school, my parents and I were driving around NH (I don't remember why exactly) but ended up on 89 and stopped in Hanover to take a look at Dartmouth. I said I didn't want to go and my parents didn't object. I went back this weekend and it reaffirmed my decision then. Sure, there's nothing to do in either town...but hey, Ithaca's got Wegman's! and all those other stores at Pyramid and along 13...and then there's Syracuse 1 hour north and Binghamton 1 hour south...Hanover...can't say much for it except that I would've been closer to home. ack! I'm babbling. I need to stop.

Any chances the V-Neck sweater guy will be there this weekend?

You forget Hot Truck.  And Purity.  And Hot Truck.

Well, to its credit, Hanover does have the title of this thread going for it.

But no Hot Truck.

[judy]

damn it! now you have me thinking of food from Ithaca!

Has anyone eaten at the Boatyard Grill yet this year? Prices? What's to eat? Do we need to call for reservations?


mmm...and corn nuggets from chariot...

[AdamGanderson]

Why go to the Boatyard, when you can go to Bistro Q?  Run by the same folks who own Just A Taste, the food is outstanding, the prices are reasonable (9-14$ per entree I think) the atmosphere is nice...  It's a win.  

[Dart~Ben]

I don't get it, everytime people come to Hanover they stop at EBA's, I'm guessing just cause they hear about it since they sponser sporting events. EBA's sucks though, only reason I ever eat it is cause it's the only place that delivers after midnight.

There are plenty of better eating spots in Hanover, hell Rumunto's has much better pizza and their garlic knots kill any EBA's appetizer.

Yeah Hanover's too small for even my tastes sometimes, but we're only 2 hours from Boston, which makes for a nice weekend getaway. And we have all the fast food stops 10 minutes away in West Lebanon, otherwise known as the strip mall of the Upper Valley.

Adam, you're beginning to sound like my brother.

Haven't been back for a while. What is Purity?

[AdamGanderson]

It's like icecream, only better.  

(and this from a guy who spent ALOT of time at the Cornell Dairy...)

[melissa]

What is Bistro Q? Have never heard of it. It is good? Where is it?

As for the Hot Truck..... was it actually good or was it just conveniant? I only tried it a few times but was never really impressed. Now, the Chariot on the other hand.......they do have damn good corn nuggets!!! And you can't forget the real Billy Bob Jacks. Any why oh why did they shut down Joe's?

I actually thought that EBAS was pretty good. Just didn't like feeling like we were isolated from cilvilization in a pseudosociety, in a Truman Show or Pleasantville like manner.

[AdamGanderson]

Frankly, that's the nicest thing that's been said to me all day.

*bow*

Go to http://www.bistroq.com/ and all your prayers (er... questions) will be answered.  

I dearly love Hot Truck partially for the socio-cultural experience, and partially for the food (which is great late night high carb, high fat jonesing food.  Added bonus, with enough practice, you can order it EXACTLY the way you want it.  Like making your own drunken 1am creations, but someone else does all the work.
