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.

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.

Yes they are horrible about delays. Drives me nuts.

I dunno if it was this thread or another, but yeah, we had a conversation about that. I could do a 3-4 carpool easy from here.

Is Amtrak bad from NY to Chicago? We are thinking about visiting some my wife's family this summer and she wants to take the train.

If you want to be on a schedule, Amtrak is bad for everywhere outside the NY to DC run.
For vacation, it could be easily doable if you are not in a hurry. -

The stretch through Albany is terrible, delays of 2-6 hours are standard. Chicago to Rochester, i thought, was pretty reliable, but have not taken it. For a vacation it is perfectly fine, your schedule is your own. I would do it too.

Literally nothing. No trains the whole way.
Utica has the best station. My favourite Amtrak station anywhere. I use it all of the time. It's grand. nothing like the boring box in Rochester.

They are starting to put in a New Station in Rochester next summer (it wont be done by Saturday).

They are trying to get a commuter rail in place from Oneonta to Cooperstown and want to tie it into Utica in the next 5-7 years.... funding is starting to be an issue though.
