Breaking Tradition

imageWith Thanksgiving nearring in closer and closer, each day, there’s no denying that some of us like to break tradition and eat out on Thanksgiving Day. (My family can attest to this) Who wants to be stuck washing the dishes and cleaning after a great dinner, every Thanksgiving?

For those of you who prefer eating out on Thanksgiving or simply want to try it for the first time, here are a list of restaurants opened in the Utica area and serving Thanksgiving-themed meals on Thanksgiving day that you may want to consider:

Dominique’s Chesterfield Restaurant- 1713 Bleecker St. Utica, NY

Garden Grille Restaurant at Radisson Hotel- Utica Centre – 200 Genessee St., Downtown Utica

The Beeches of Rome- 7900 Turn Road, Rome, NY

You may call for reservations at each one of these locations.

The Truth about the Break Bus at UC

unnamed

The truth about the Break Bus at UC is that to understand it, you must experience it.

The truth about the Break Bus at UC is that you cannot beat a $70 round trip from Utica to NYC that picks you up 500 feet away from your room. #NoCabFare

The truth about the Break Bus is that when everyone is on the bus, THEY ARE ON THE BUS. The break bus is not quite, it is not a place to read your Sylvia Plath, no no no. It might be a place to read your Fifty Shades of Grey Novel, because a if you do not join the party, then at least have one in your head.

The truth about the Break Bus is that if I were to describe it in pop culture, maybe as a song, it would be Ellie Goulding’s “On My Mind”. If I decided to take the RnB route, It would an be just about any Outkast song. (But click the hyper link, because I chose one anyway).

The truth about the Break Bus is it sells out faster than you can say “supercalifragillisticexpialidocious”. And to all those who are thinking it, yes–to be fair, that is a pretty big word.

The truth about the Break Bus is you just gotta ride it. No one is more excited than a group full of people who get to escape the jaws of school work for a little while.
