I have no clue what to do out there either. I'll be out there at the end of the month and want to find a cool local thing to do. Museum? Park? Local dish?

The Lost Dog.

The Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs isn't that far away, it has a Ruth's Chris although the prices are insane. Sometimes I go to the Rustic Kitchen.

Binghamton is a dump, the prostitutes are substandard to say the least.

Number 5 for steak & seafood

Social on State for cocktails and tapas

Lupos for speedies (of course)

Big Dipper (in Apalachin) for ice cream & chicken bbq

Toms Gifts (in Binghamton) for a unique gift shop

If you have time and want to enjoy a downtown district, run over to Ithaca

And it is basically life-size, dominating the entire room. It is a ton of fun to watch yer uptight relatives try to ignore it all night long.

Ruth's Chris is a huge rip-off. Many of the high-end steak houses are. But hey...as we already know...there are tons o' folks out there that are more than willing to give their money away. I gotta figger out how to get them to give me some.....

If you think what you're getting for your money is a slab of protein and animal fat then it's a rip off, as you say, roo.

If you look at it as a somewhat upscale experience, then it is not.

I'd rather eat a ribeye and drink a dram of Redbreast 15 year old or JW Blue Label than eat a bacon cheeseburger washed down with a Miller Light, but in terms of relative value for the money they're probably similar.

Ruth's Chris is really a barely above average franchise steakhouse, not upscale in the scheme of things at all.

I agree that you need to find a way to get other people to give you their money based upon what you have said, and in any case it's the name of the game regardless.

Cheers folks.
