(quoting from the website): If you would like to start your day off right, our Full American Breakfast buffet offers everything you can imagine, even our own signature waffle! I wonder if those waffles are frozen. Ooopps, sorry, SB. I didn't mean to say "frozen". :p .

I know some people don't care for them.I just like to eat. :p I most likely won't be in town until early evening (late afternoon at the very earliest Friday.) I'm still checking flights. You guys know all the restaurants around there, so you choose. It might be best to not count on me for Friday dinner, but I'll let you know when I know.

Especially those back East like JL and Signor Vitelli, and DJ, Tony B from Chicago. And one of my favorites Mary Cas. I know I'm leaving tons of people out. If I may, I just want to let all know that everyone is welcome. Now would probably be the time to at least get a room in your name and still be able to cancel if it didn't work out.

Since you guys say it's a good place then I'm looking forward to going there.

Even for me, it was a lot. Very nice place. You won't be disappointed. I don't think we have it here in CA, that I know of anyway.

In Philly, I'd rather have an authentic cheese steak. I'd rather go to Pat's...... Shula's can't compare!! :p I studied Italian for 2 semesters.

She had major trouble getting it done despite reading Geoff's post word for word to the agent. Eventually a manager took over and did it right away explaining that some of these agents (who do reservation things) are "sub-contracted" (i.e. they're not hotel employees) and are poorly trained. .

Beth, I think they have a "zucchini" wing at the hotel. :p I wish I was only two hours away. Btw, I am searching a lot of travel sites for the best flight deals. So far everything is pretty comparable. Does anyone know of any travel sites, other than the most popular ones, that they can suggest? Oh, and Pat's sounds good too.
