driving from Toronto to Syracuse stopping at waterloo outlet and dynasty mall(formerly carosoul) staying near fairgrounds.

We have been to dinosaur bbq in downtown Rochester. We noticed there was a location in Syracuse but had read about Link Lizard for great bbq and not as much of a line up as D BBQ. Anyone compare two of them?

We love Triple D spots from food network ie Pastability?
We do love mexican and read about Alto Cinco .
Great burger joints
Happy hours

Well travelled kids in tow so no sit at bar suggestion places.

Also considering museum of science technology for a outting.

Have you been to both?

How are chow hounders liking Limp Lizard over dinosaur Bbq? We have been to d bbq in rochester downtown and had a great meal

We also tried the chicken and rice guys food cart along with the meatball sub from the dining car. Fantastic lunches and friendly staff. This was a lunch pick up we brought back to the hotel to eat.

I have to recommend a great pub called Clary's down from the Fairmont it also accommodated larger groups. we had fantastic wings, steak blue salad, great beers on tap and lively loud crowd. We were a group of 12 with kids.

I was disappointed in the kids menu with 3 options only!!! Grilled cheese, chicken fingers or pizza no deserts. Most kids under 12 are passed the grilled cheese days. My two kids ordered adult burgers off menu $12 each as not on kids menu. They were HUGE! The fries came in cute fryer baskets. My other complaint 8 year old had asked why her patty was pink . no questions asked they took her burger back and she got a new one. my 6 year old was 1/3 of burger when I discovered it was bright red in the middle, we called the waitress over and she was very displeased. Both burgers were complimentary off our bill and new burgers replaced COOKED. We wanted to go back but ran out of time despite the burger problem and food was reasonably priced big portions

We needed a quick lunch and end up at the food trucks parked behind the Fairmont. We ordered The Dining Car famous meatball sub with melted cheese and rich italian sauce. My son and I shared it and more then enough. It was devine! $8 My spouse ordered from The Chicken and Rice Guys $8 he got a plate lunch of seasoned rice, salad, pita bread and plenty of chicken. We tried it with their various sauces they provide on the side $8. My daughter wanted a side of rice and pita bread and they accommodated her for $2 . We were all full and total $18 very good lunch for a family of four. highly recommend trying these two trucks for a fun and yummy lunch. We took it back to our hotel to eat paired with a wine :)

Were back beach chick, great city too much walking for me in. Boot cast but made the best of it.

We decided to get off in north end for a lunch prior to museum of science. We end up at your recommendation of Umberto. Long wait but it was a great place. We tried their pizza, (5slices) 1 calzone, 1 arancini. ,2 lemonades, 1 red wine,1 beer, we hoped for the panzaroti but they just sold out. Total $26 we met the owner cery nice man. Def recomnd this place. Off we went to Mikes pastries. These are just wrong. Peanut butter, and a chocolate chip cannoli's boston cream puff and a lobster tail. Total $15 excelllent. Everyone we saw in town seemed to have a box of these goodies. We walked the pier, and stopped in a produce market. Got back on train to go to museum of science.It closed by 5pm so we had less then 2 hours to explore and for $84 we decided it was not worth it, ;(( shouldof timed it better

Were here!, we end up at Shaw's and picked up groceries for room and made some sandwichs, now time for wine pick up.
I bought a $18 train pass

unfortunately we don't know any cambridge residence. sigh

i will ask our concierge maybe they have a few dollars off passes

science chick where do you like to get these tasty clams from?

We are going to the children's museum friday night and wanted a early dinner. So the daily catch would they be open about 4pm?
and any signature dishes we should try?
we will then go to the children's museum for a few hours then back to the hotel

we are arriving tomorrow.. Tavern road is near our hotel you are saying? will google their menu

LEAVING TOMORROW!!! We will be arriving for early morning and will be hungry.. We are heading to Fairmont Copley by train. Is there a good reasonable breakfast or lunch near by we should try? as we will not know our bearings yet.

Also anyone know how we can get any discount on the Museum of Science as its about $80 for a our family to go which is fair amount. We are not doing enough tours to do the go boston card etc.

WE WILL JUST MISS YOU AS WE LEAVE TUESDAY.. ARE YOU THERE FOR DANCE BY CHANCE?

ANYONE HAVE INFO ON SPICES? MARINADES SAUCES EXCLUSIVE TO BOSTON? WE LOVE TO COOK AND BRING BACK ITEMS FROM PLACES WE TRAVEL TOO

LEAVING TOMORROW WOOHOOO..
I DO HOPE THE SNOW IS GONE

No date night!. Will be a bunch of familes that want to go out and if can walk to cool plaxe from fairmont coply even better.

P,s we love to bring bag spices, sauces, marinades etc from places we travel to is their any you could recommend only found in Boston??

I just double checked and kids under 12 are free on train. so the $2.50 is per adult one way? If kids are free may be worth getting one for spouse and I.

We are staying at the fairmont copely plaza. Our friends are at the westin and our hotel allows guests access to their pool.
Our friends mentioned italian express pizzeria as it is a DDD or Rina's place.
Sam la grassa and mikes diner look good too.

At this point closest to the hotel might be better getting 2 or more families there and me in crutches

I have used this board for St. Petes, san diego, hawaii, and Arizona I think too. The hardest part for me is figuring it out on a map and in if its too out of way or not.this is first trip with no car and dont want to spend a fortune on cab rides.

seriously?? Ouch!! we leave friday and back tuesday. I have torn tendons and small fracture. I can walk on heel as ankle is intact. I have reserved a wheelchair at the hotel as well in case the walking is too much to get around to restaurants and attractions

Cuttys? i didn't see that restaurant on their list.. will look again :)

this is where the market is of all types of foods and entertainers? would this be a train or cab trip from westin copeley? I have injured my foot and may be on crutches this weekend for our trip .

There is not too much selection especial none on weekends. Is there another location that is close by i.e. 10 min walk or less?

on second thought my spouse is trying to be convinced to go with boys for a Fenway park tour. so I will let them know about the original tasty burger joint. thanks

Let me add that I have injured my foot and in a boot with possible crutches still. Revising my itinerary to non long walk destinations

Thanks but no interest in Fenway park tour with no baseball game. We loveeee burgers and like to try unique burger joints.

Good menu selection at tasty burger. Lol on the no micky d happy meal. We call it rotten ronnies

North end recs?

To be honest in and out of cabs and trains sounds great but lookimg at busy itinarires sometimes close by fun places might be better when 3 families or more want to tag along and not go for fancy open table ressies.

We are lookimg at doimg the childrens museum friday with the chaotic crowds for target event 5-9pm so we will want a early dommer at 4pm close to this.. Anything down the street to this thats a must as i am frazzled with directions

Yes I'm excited about the food trucks. We went to the eat the street in waikiki . Great fun and eats. They have really caught on in the USA.
