What city of <25k people can compete with that? You lived there, you probably know the places better than I do.

...and they named a race for Hattie on July 30th.

mexican connection is one of my favorite mexican resteraunts in the whole country. though I go to the other one once a week with my uncle. (cant think of the freaking name )


I'd trade Sperry's for the stadium cafe though in the above list.


this will be two years in a row that I wont be in Saratoga Springs though. I may try to move back to the north east next year, and if I do, I'll try to never miss a meet again!

Can't believe you aren't able to get up for a weekend...

next year for sure. Maybe missing the track for 2 years straight will make me appreciate it even more!

Damn - I hear they closed the British Pub that was out in the back. It was a great spot and it served some good beer (like Boddington's).

I also hear no more Jim Dandy Bar ? WTF

On my way for Travers week ....

Leon's (thanks Steve.. that's the name I was trying to remember) is very good too. My uncle loves it and I usually go with him once a week.

But Mexican Connection is off the chain. As good as it gets for mexican food (and I lived 45 mins from mexico for 4 1/2 years). Its close to the track also.
