This weekend, some friends are coming upstate from Queens to bring their one and only son to UB for his freshman year. We offered up one of our spare rooms for them and they accepted. They want to take us out to eat as a thank you.
I am looking to (e:peeps) for recommend somewhere. Not exactly sure about their taste and i don't want to go somewhere too expensive. It will be Friday night so i want to be able to make a reservation (they may be used to waiting, but i don't want to have to).
Any suggestions of somewhere that will impress but isn't over the top expensive and offers a variety of foodie options?

Hope it is a lot of fun.... There are a lot of great shows to see even though they can get crazy.... Plus there is a lot of stuff to see...

Bat In Our BelfryThere's a bat in our house. Poor thing can't seem to find open doors and windows. We keep thinking the lost creature found its way outside, only to discover it flying around again. Freaks me out a bit... and i like bats! Least i thought i did 'til one decided to move in!

I don't like bats and they freak me out and one recently was in my mothers house lucky for me I didn't need to deal with it..... I'm no expert but I wonder if once they find a way in if cause of their wings they can't get back out the same way.... One would think it would just go out the window but maybe there sonar or what ever it is can't pick up on the fact that the open space is open? Hope it gets out soon and goes no where near your pet rats.....

Maybe remote sound emitters that you could borrow from a dog owner or even a barking dog's neighbour (according to this article: :::link:::

I wonder if you could make a ton of ultrasonic sound somehow so that the bat goes away from the noise and towards the windows/doors.

It's All A BlurWow. Whirlwind.
Just worked 7 days in a row. Thursday night, and overtime person called to say she could not come in and i got stuck working from 3pm to 11pm then mandated into an overnight from 11pm tp 7am. Back in at 3pm that day. Then, the next day, i was scheduled to work a double from 7am to 11pm.
My employer is really jerking people around. One of my bosses at the location i was pulled from is being pulled to go to another location and fix up the mess the previous supervisor left. So, they are short 1 full time (100%), myself (80%) and another part timer (60%).
Now, the rumour is that, despite my position being eliminated there, i am going back because they are too short.
And the other is that my boss is requesting that she does not have a shift supervisor and that she would just run the house herself. Funniest thing i ever heard. Talk about control freak. Don't want to go back there.... been looking for somewhere new for a while.
Would love to stay at the location i was temp assigned to; they are lovely people there and the bad reputation the house has is not deserved. But, that is not going to happen. They are slowly re-staffing it.
On the positive side, i have 4 days off!
Today, laundry, house cleaning, phone calls, maybe visit another site to check it out.
Tuesday, errands, chores....
Wednesday, a day off with (e:Uncutsaniflush)!
Thursday, a day of pampering @ the nail spa and salon! Yay!

Enjoy your days off! :)

Thanks, (e:Mike). I will check them out! Doesn't have to be vegetarian friendly (i do chicken and fish now)!
I like the Delaware a lot Its on Delaware near Sheridan. Not sure there are many vegetarian options there though and maybe not impressive. But good food.
Thanks for the suggestions. Only place i wouldn't consider would be Panos... i fucking hate that place (forgive the swearing, but i hate it that much).
Only 4 people, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and myself, our friends Karyn and her husband Roberto.
I thought of Bistro Europa. Love that place. I just thought they might not want to eat in a place that is cramped for space, like where they live, Queens.
Betty's is a great idea... i like it.
Anyone else have anything? I don't mind driving to the 'burbs if i have to.......
La Tee Dah?
How many people? I would suggest panos (cheaper but lots of options), seabar, or bistro Europa($20-30 per person).
Ambrosia.
Betty's.
