Marv's Neighbor Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 After looking at the: hotel tax, meal tax, car rental tax, gas price, etc., I love it too but quickly remember why I don't live there anymore. And despite all that, I do get to Chef's at least a couple of times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why am I living here? LoL... Cost of living is pretty low in WNY. Who lives in a hotel, goes out to eat every night and rents a car? LoL...

I drove up from Long Island over Columbus Day weekend to see my mom and family. On my way out I hit up Charlie’s for a beef on weck and picked up 30 wings from duffs and ate them with my kids when I got back downstate. That was a long, good smelling drive. I put the wings all the way back in the car where I couldn’t get to them. Was battling nyc traffic a couple days ago and was in the phone with my wife, telling her that I can’t take living on the island and working in the city anymore after 26 years. I’d move back up to WNY in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do stay in a hotel, as nice as I can afford, rent a car if I decide to fly in, eat out because that's why I'm "home," to enjoy what's not available where I live. Ask any other fan that lives out of town and comes to a game. The way NYS rips people who are visiting/passing through is terrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try getting a ticket on a workman's wage in Chicago... T'ain't happening. It ain't New York ripping you off. It's life choices. It's rather cheap there. That's why love going back. Been to 2 home games, one away... We go back every month or so. Wife is driving back tomorrow for week.

Wife is driving back tomorrow for week. It costs to travel away from home. Check out your "life choice" tolls, gas etc. BTW tolls are rare where we live. If I have to do it on the cheap, I usually don't bother. There may be better options closer to home. The game's on local TV here tomorrow, so life is good.

I hope you avoid the food coma trap. I was much better this year, but I think it was last year that I went straight from the airport to Schwabl's, then hit Ted’s before checking into the hotel. It went downhill from there, as all the major food groups were represented. Pizza, wings, beef on weck, hot dogs, etc all crammed into one long weekend. Not enough “meal times” to do it all, so I had to double up on some lunch and dinner periods. ? This year, I remembered how gross I felt last year, and I was much more moderate in stuffing my face. Still a piggy, but more manageable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksilver Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I was home on the bye week. Family, food, and color of fall. Always great to go home. (food = pizza, wings, weck, and mighty taco) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I’ve learned the hard way over the last few trips back is the places I REALLY want to hit, I have to do at slightly off hours. I’ve been stymied at a few key places like you were. If I go silly early or late I can probably get my craving satisfied. I’m not big on LOOOONG lines. I hope to pull this off next year if age and wisdom actually go hand in hand. Hope the alternative was awesome and have a GREAT time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hate feeling like a "tourist" in my home stomping grounds... Hate doing the "exiled thing." I am a dead giveaway when I am checking out 36 bottles of Weber's mustard at Top's. I throw the cashier off and use my Brother's phone number. Used to be Bison dip too. But, we can get Helluva here... Just as good. LoL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cripple Creek Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) The game is secondary to we out of towners. A win is icing on the cake, but being back amid the friends/sights/sounds/food/tailgates is what it's all about.
