MangoCon Is official!
-
This will be happening in the next week or so.... The flu and holidays have slowed progress down a bit
-
Wooohoooo no hotel for me I live in Rochester!
Restaurants/Eateries that are very good:
Dinosaur BBQ
The Owl House (Vegan/Vegetarian but the best American cheeseburger I've ever had...crazy)
Thali of India (Hit the lunch buffet it will rock your world)
The Gate House (DO NOT GET THE WINGS but everything else is amazing)
Dibella's subs
Delmonico's Italian
Aladdin's
Sinbad's (Greek/Mediterranean)
Napa Wood Fired Pizzeria
Highland Park Diner
Sticky Lips (BBQ)
Olives (Greek/Mediterranean)
Hogan's Hideaway
Trata
Steve T's (Screw Nick Tahou's lol)
Jeremiah's (Wings - Bumblebee sauce)
Jines (For the area and atmosphere. Food is decent)Places NOT to go that will be on "Top Google Lists":
Rooney's (My girlfriend was a chef there and their kitchen is nasty. New owners aren't good. Friend of mine got sick there)
Fiamma (Arrogant bastards wouldn't put extra cheese on a pizza because they wanted to protect their "recipe". Said we could get it on the side. WHO PUT'S CHEESE ON THE SIDE OF A PIZZA?!)
D'Mangu (Some of their food was old and tasted sour) -
Most of our meals will be at the Hotel and let me tell you the food is good. Even the Gluten Free is good! The Chef and I are working on the menu to include lots of Mango goodness
There will be some time to explore some awesome places to eat.There will be of course a trip down the road to Nick Tahou's (sorry due to the amount of people flying in getting to Steve T's would be expensive).
-
I'm seeing this today... do we need some special code to get in on the hotel rooms?
-
@RojoLoco so you crashed theor webserver trying to get in on the deal eh?
-
Welp... time to find a friends house I can bunk at.

Yes there will be I should be getting that this week!
-
I also know that many people will be looking to share rooms to keep the cost down. Cost for room/night will be $119 (plus taxes).
Keep in mind we will have the run of this hotel. So that includes the restaurant and bar etc.
We might need to setup a gaming server of some sort hmmm.......

Dinosaur BBQ is walking distance from there. There isn't really anything in Rochester that has better BBQ. Worth the walk from the hotel.
-
WE hope to have them cater a meal one night. Working on that one.
-
@Minion-Queen Sticky-Lips BBQ is also an AWESOME BBQ joint.

I give Sticky Lips a slight edge on side dishes compared to Dinosaur but I think the meat is better at Dinosaur. Have had dry brisket at Sticky Lips. I've only been to the newer Sticky Lips in Henrietta not the original in the city.

@DustinB3403 I just went in and changed the permissions to "deny Dustin".

Have you checked AerLingus? We love using them. And you can fly from Shannon, too.
NYC to the Rochester location for the event is an easy train ride.
-
There is free shuttle service from both the airport and train station as well as lots of locals who might be willing to pick people up too!
-
Best non-stop i can get currently out of O'Hare is $270. Still deciding if I want to drive or fly.
-
@JaredBusch I know a few people are talking about driving.... You might be able to pick up some passengers on your way here

There is a train for you too, direct. But it is long.

I will never take Amtrak anywhere that I want to get to on a schedule.
