    Hey Gregg, Thanks for the short notice
     
    Dominicks in Plains for pizza.
     
    Naturally, Tony's in Kingston for breakfast.
     
    Majestic in Pittston for a Texas Weiner or burger.
     
    Gotta go do some work now, I'll check with you later.

      Dinner?  Italian? Steaks?
       
      Tomorrow, breakfast, lunch?
       
      What brings them to The Big City(Pittston)?

        They have a home office meeting there.
         
        They are there thru Friday morning.  I'll be down there eventually ... just for a day trip.
         
        I feel like I can be doing a service to give any of the remarkably good RF-type place ... Is there a pork and rabe sandwich in them parts ???

          Gregg, you are thinking Philly, we are two hours north.  The menu changes.
           
          Let me see if I can help.
           
          Tomorrow morning breakfast at Tony's in Kingston. Or try the porketta, One of a kind.
           
          Lunch in Pittston at The Majestic.  Over 100 years in the same spot.
           
          Dinner, red sauce Italian?  Acaro & Genell is the place.  Steaks, go to Peter Luger's Great Nephew's place.
           
          Pizza, try Ghigiarelli's in Old Forge.  For something really different try Cebula's in Dupont.
           
          I could go on forever.  Let me know when you plan a visit, I make a very good tour guide.  Not tomorrow though.  There is a very good chance I will be jailed.

            Thanks ... Good list.  Seem like the home office is officially Willkes-Barre , but towards Pittson.  Another planet to me ... I didn't realize how far from Philly.

                Gregg---don't forget to mention Joe's name in all these places.  You will get 20% off automatically.  Joe is very well known, they
                even have his picture hung in the Post Office.

                  I think I'd rather not mention Joe's name so I could keep those 2 fingers.

                    Let me know when you want to visit the Big City.  We still got some space in the old coal mines

                      namret, I tried Isabella's last night for the first time.  It was excellent!
