Closing Fedora's is a closing of a historical treasure trove where the owner makes the pies. And, actually, I've eaten there lots and the food was always great ... though, people like to complain about it. Too bad it can't go into the same world as Julius, different owner but it stays alive.Aaron Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05625726101651013905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-4670685738392984982010-04-06T08:06:02.819-07:002010-04-06T08:06:02.819-07:00Ah yes, the Waverly Inn.

It looked and smelled delicious when it arrived, but since the filling was still FROZEN, I couldn't eat it. They must have forgotten to put it in the microwave before browning the crust under the broiler. Loved the historic ambience of the place but being served reheated frozen food ruined the experience. I hope Carter and his cronies have improved the food although given how difficult it is to get into the place I guess I'm unlikely to find out for myself. <br /><br />This poses the question.....which is better: a kind of cool place with mediocre food you can always eat at, or the same cool place with very good food you can never eat at??Upstate Johnny Gnoreply@blogger.com
