I haven't been back to the Old Toad Pub in a while, and it was a GREAT place to go (February I think?) It's at 277 Alexander St, Rochester NY 14607. Great food, and they are very excited tto have Minis there since the staff is mostly, if not all, British.
The food there is great! Definitely worth a visit.
I'm leaning towards the 3rd because I think there will be more competing events like work holiday parties by the 10th, but the 10th allows more time to publicize. Looks like I'll flip a coin in the next 24 hours...
December 3 would be a toughie for me, but the 10th I probably could make. I'll never forget my boss's talking GPS telling me to "Turn into the alley--now!" I still get a chuckle out of that one. Bill
AS USUAL!! I had it totally reversed! We are available on the 3rd, not the 10th as previously stated. Barb straightened me out (also, AS USUAL) last night when I told her what I had posted. Thanks, and sorry if I caused any glitches. Bill
No problem, Bill! I have the 3rd & 4th off, but will be working the 10th so I'd be coming after work if it were that. The 3rd is better for me, but I guess it's time to get the word out, huh?
Anybody want to go for a drive the afternoon of 12/3? (Weather permitting...)
Now a drive, I should be able to foot that... I can always leave the wife home to go driving, but I wouldn't feel right enjoying tasty food when she's at home studying... :)
For anyone coming to the Old Toad, it is probably easiest to get there from 490 from the Goodman St exit (#17, I think). If you're coming in on 490 East, take a left onto Goodman from the ramp, if you are on 490 West, take a right (heading north on Goodman). After the lights on the expressway, there is a light at Pearl St & a light at Monroe, so head straight through those, and take a left onto Park Ave (Parkleigh on the left). Park Ave ends at Alexander St, and take a right onto Alexander. The 2nd left is Gardiner Park, and take that to get to the Old Toad Pub parking lot. Cogman, I think Dyer Alley is now one way, so you have to take Gardiner to get to it, no matter what your GPS tells you! :D
The Old Toad Pub is on the corner of the Medical Arts building, which is a funky Art Deco building. Look for Minis!
It was a great night for pub food! Who knew Old Peculier & sticky toffee pudding would taste so good together? (I might have to change my screen name...)
