Dinner Recommendation (Hofstra or back towards the Belt Prkway)
Will be visiting Hofstra University for a collegiate sporting event on Wednesday and would like to get recommendations on any local restaurant favorites (nothing extremely fancy - italian, seafood, etc). As we will be returning to Pennsylvania the same evening we would prefer a recommendation very close to the Hofstra campus or that would be on our route back home (Southern Prkway / Belt Prkway would even consider Brooklyn close to the Pkway) - Thanks for your help!!!

Recs in Moon Twshp area
Will be in the Robert Morris College (Moon Township) area this weekend and looking for some dinner recommendations close by (as opposed to in the city - which I have already seen throughout the board).

Self catering for Grad party
Having a graduation party in about a month. Looking for those hidden gems (delis, food markets, caterers, - etc.) that folks would recommend (preferably located in the western suburbs but will definitely travel also). I've used folks such as Luigi and Giovanni's in Newtown Square, The Lemon Tree, Robert Ryans and Forestas.
Looking for items such as salads, meat entree trays, antipasto and hors douerve trays, etc.
Thanks for any help!

Omaha - Gorat's or Johnny's Cafe or...
I'm an East Coaster who was just in Omaha this past weekend for the College World Series. We visited Johnny's Cafe based on the comments on this board. Our visit had both high and low points. I'll touch on the low first: The atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit dingy but at the same time soemwhat interesting. The sides that came with our meal were rather forgettable: My son's baked potato was awful and my hash browns were okay.
Now for the high points: My son and I both ordered staeks - he had the Omaha strip and I had the filet. Both of us commented on how terrific they were prepared and how flavorful they were. Both steaks were phenomenal!! The mixed house salad that we had was large and very fresh and our chicken filets appetizer was juicy and tasty.
can't speak for Gorats but can tell you that we had a tremendous steak at Johnny's.
We also ate at Lo Sole Mio and M's Pub - both of which I would highly recommend.
