in New Haven using an open public network drinking a Diet Coke and
about to order a 1/2 lb cheeseburger with bacon, lettuce, tomato and
mayo with the delicious house fries, house salad all while waiting for
Mrs. Wave to finish politicking and speechifying.

Ain't technology grand?

FYI: I spent the afternoon at the Yale University library and got a
chance to look through their photo collection - amazing images there,
some unbelievable historical documents. I was awed. Spent a couple of
hours with the one of the graduate students doing some research - a
very nice young lady who tolerated an old fart with an interest in
photography.

Good time was had by all.

See any pictures of their more famous alumni?

Actually yes - several candids in fact.

Very interesting place and if you make arrangements ahead of time they
are very accommodating.

Maybe next time - I know you've recommended it before.

This time, I'm at the mercy of Mrs. Wave, but I have to say that this
place is pretty good - the burgers are excellent, the house salad is
outfreakinn' standing and the fries are to die for.

And the internet connection is solid as a rock.

Can't beat it.

Where did you eat? For you, for a burger, I would have recommended the
York Street Cafe. Your kind of guys. I would have headed to Louis'
Lunch, but that's quite a walk off the campus.

This is one of the few times I'll agree with Harry. If you like thin crust

Pretty sad. Looks like a pizza I got at a place in Edwardsville, Il.
My sis lives there and she avoids eating pizza there, but I was
visiting and felt like having pizza. She figured it might be okay
because this was one of the "toniest" restaraunt/pizzarias in town.
It was a disaster. So thin and overcooked the cheese was burned and
the sauce blackened. And it was a 30 buck disaster. For a 16".
Course if you like that kind of pizza........ Go for it!
Worked in a Chicago suburb once and my workmates - all from that
suburb or nearby suburbs - raved about a local pizza place.
We went there for lunch once and I was looking forward to it.
Bit into the pizza, and the sauce was... ketchup.
Damn.

I went to school in Dayton, OH for a year. The local places used, I think,
Cambells tomato soup without adding water as the sauce. Bad!

Scared me there for a minute. When I lived there, I'd just go to Sally's if
Pepe's (or "The spot"... same thing next door), was too busy.

Another of my favs was Bimonte's in Hamden. I know Joe died a few years ago,
but I think his place lives on. There's another Bimonte's in Cheshire, but
it's not the same.

for
Mrs. Wave to finish politicking and speechifying.

FYI: I spent the afternoon at the Yale University library and got a
chance to look through their photo collection - amazing images
there,
some unbelievable historical documents. I was awed. Spent a couple
of
hours with the one of the graduate students doing some research - a
very nice young lady who tolerated an old fart with an interest in
photography.

Good time was had by all.

Too bad you are eating...I'd recommend Pepe's on Wooster Street.

http://www.pepespizzeria.com/

Pepe's Pizza is terrible. The pizza tastes of soot, and is bland
beyond
belief.

Check out this video made from inside Pepe's and decide for yourself-

http://vimeo.com/1726324

This is one of the few times I'll agree with Harry. If you like thin
crust
pizza, Pepe's is the best on the planet. Followed closely by Sally's
down
the street. That video made me hungry for Pepe's and I'm 2600 miles
away!

Ooooops, scratch that... Still there...

Scared me there for a minute. When I lived there, I'd just go to Sally's if
Pepe's *(or "The spot"... same thing next door), was too busy.

Another of my favs was Bimonte's in Hamden. I know Joe died a few years ago,
but I think his place lives on. There's another Bimonte's in Cheshire, but
it's not the same.

Sorry, one of the big pizza places went out or retired recently, don't
remember which one.. Really though, we like Centerbrook Pizza which is
just outside Essex if we buy pizza, but the best pizza in the state by
far is Mrs. Justwaits deep dish from scratch.. I love it when we make
pizza at home, never had anythig better and I have had pizza all over
this country...

Not any more - the place next door/across the street Eli's I think it
is, took it over. They still make the same pizza though - I went
there last year with Mrs. Wave on one of her politickin' trips - the
pizza was terrific I'll grant you that.

The best pizza of that sort I ever had was also served in New Haven, but
only for a couple of weeks, at the annual Roman Catholic Feast of the
Assumption, which was held on a spot of undeveloped land on Whalley
Avenue at the Merrit Parkway. Big festival, a carnival, actually, but
the food was made by local groups.

New Haven used to be a food taster's delight, what with all the ethnic
groups there opening and operating first-rate family restaurants. There
were two terrific deli restaurants on Whalley Avenue, right near our
high school, that were *the* weekend hot spots.


Similarly, the best local seafood samplings around here are to be had at
the annual crab festival held just outside of Annapolis, where local
groups, including restaurant, church and civic organizations, serve up
their wares in traditional recipes and fashion.

Nothing fancy, just really good food. The problem is finding a vendor
selling someting other than ****y American beer.

Good NY Style has to have a nice char on the bottom of the crust, and
Mushroom is the only way to go. There is a place about 2 blocks south
of Columbia Univ. that had a MONSTER size slice for next to nothing, I
think it was $1.25 a few years ago. It must have been about 12"x18".

Maybe next time - I know you've recommended it before.

This time, I'm at the mercy of Mrs. Wave, but I have to say that this

outfreakinn' standing and the fries are to die for. *

pizza, Pepe's is the best on the planet. Followed closely by Sally's
down
the street. That video made me hungry for Pepe's and I'm 2600 miles
away!
The folks in the video must be Round Table Pizza fans...

Ooooops, scratch that... Still there...

Scared me there for a minute. When I lived there, I'd just go to
Sally's if
Pepe's *(or "The spot"... same thing next door), was too busy.

Another of my favs was Bimonte's in Hamden. I know Joe died a few
years ago,
but I think his place lives on. There's another Bimonte's in
Cheshire, but
it's not the same.

Sorry, one of the big pizza places went out or retired recently, don't
remember which one.. Really though, we like Centerbrook Pizza which is
just outside Essex if we buy pizza, but the best pizza in the state by
far is Mrs. Justwaits deep dish from scratch.. I love it when we make
pizza at home, never had anythig better and I have had pizza all over
this country...

I'm a snob about pizza - I like New York style thin crust three cheese
pizza.

No toppings or if I have to, mushrooms.

The best pizza of that sort I ever had was also served in New Haven, but
only for a couple of weeks, at the annual Roman Catholic Feast of the
Assumption, which was held on a spot of undeveloped land on Whalley
Avenue at the Merrit Parkway. Big festival, a carnival, actually, but
the food was made by local groups.

New Haven used to be a food taster's delight, what with all the ethnic
groups there opening and operating first-rate family restaurants. There
were two terrific deli restaurants on Whalley Avenue, right near our
high school, that were *the* weekend hot spots.

Similarly, the best local seafood samplings around here are to be had at
the annual crab festival held just outside of Annapolis, where local
groups, including restaurant, church and civic organizations, serve up
their wares in traditional recipes and fashion.

Nothing fancy, just really good food. The problem is finding a vendor
selling someting other than ****y American beer.

You do fancy Corona don't you? It's a favorite of the ladies. I'm sure
your favorite vendors would special order it for you if you ask.

Those Mexican beers are worse than U.S. mass produced swill. They have
to carbonate the hell out of it because it doesn't have any flavor!
