Student Prince Cafe & Fort Dining Room

Well, they're still there, still doing Game Fest all February. We'll go again if schedules work, but I wanted to make sure I got there right at the beginning because they run out of menu items towards the end of the month.

We just drove home. I have at least two meals of food leftover from my Hunter's Platter. Good, heavy, German food, if you haven't been there already. If you're not a carnivore, don't bother, but if you are, well, this is your chance to eat all kinds of meat you usually have to go to Savenor's to order. (I'm looking at you, [livejournal.com profile] trowa_barton.)

Oh, and the beer's German, and good, too.

(Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] infinitehotel for the original pointer, so many years ago I can't actually remember.)

I'm jealous.

Pardon me while I drool a bit.

When you make a pilgrimage out there, may I tag along?

Mmm Spaten dark...

Don't think I'm going to make it this year, unfortunately.

Spaten OPTIMATOR! Especially if I'm not driving.

Spaten Optimator? I hardly know 'er!

There's an entire class of dark, heavy Bavarian beers with names ending in "-ator", after the brewer of Paulaner Salvator finally got trademark protection. Maximator, Triumphator, Celebrator, and probably the best of all for that joke: Kulminator.

Mmmmm, tasty. And just down the block from good Indian, too.

Is that the one on Main? I saw that, but I haven't gotten over there yet.

Sitar, it's called (go go Street View!). It's pretty good, especially by western mass standards.

My colleagues all go to Pintu's in West Springfield a lot-- would you recommend Sitar over them?

I never made it there myself, so I can't really compare them, but I did also hear good things.

Thanks for the reminder. Last year was the first in many years that we haven't made it.

want to plan a trip? :)

[identity profile] infinitehotel.livejournal.com 2009-02-03 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
The first group dinner there was in 1990, I think. Aside from the February I was living in Germany, I don't think I've missed a year. :)
