The topic for this week is food,
good food. Some may feel that
I'm stretching the limits of en
tertainment, but I personally feel
that food at its best can be very
entertaining indeed.
Having excellent cooks in my
family, I must admit that nothing
beats that good old fashioned
home cooking. However,
everyone likes to eat out, whether
it's to avoid cleaning the mess
involved in the preparation of a
meal, or to escape the ever
dreadful Dobbins Hall.
I'm a native Erieite, raised in a
family that enjoys and delights in
various cuisines. I've been to a lot
of restaurants and find some to be
much more satisfying than
others. My goal is to enlighten
and direct you to the local
restaurants which will offer you
the most for your money.
For those who prefer a casual
dining experience, reasonable
prices, and good fast service,
Erie's the place to be. Probably
the most accessable, and in my
opinion the best place to go for
Italian cuisine is Nunzi's Place.
Nunzi's is located at 1523 East
38th and offers the BEST pizza in
town (or anywhere else for that
matter). They offer nightly
specials, for example, Lasagna
for under $3.00. These specials, as
well as their regular menu, are
out of this world. Hector's, 802
West 18th, and Martucci's
Tavern. 2641 Myrtle, also serve
super"spicy Italian meals.
There's no need to worry about
what to wear; these restaurants
aren't known for their at-
mosphere. However, if your
mouth is watering for some
homemade pasta, these are the
places to find it, and you don't
even need the atmosphere...the
food says it all.
The Greenshingle Restaurant is birthday or when they come to
open 24 hours a day and provides visit. Upon entering the Peak, one
hearty meals at not so hearty gradually shifts back into the
prices. The Greenshingle, olden days when ladies were
located off 1-90, exit 5, is highly ladies and gentlemen were
acclaimed by truckers, and gentlemen. The service is better
believe me, if you can't trust a than excellent as is the food.
trucker's advice on where to get Damore's, 14 East 10th, and
the best food at the best prices, Ricardo's at 2112 East Lake
who can you trust? Road, both have fine food and
The Glenwood Diner, 4227 relaxing atmospheres. Ricardo's
Peach Street, is the place I is extremely well known for their
suggest to all the regulars at appetizers, served with every
Dobbins Hall. The Diner serves meal. After one works their way
nothing but the best; i.e. through the rigatoni and breaded
homemade. If you're longing for zucchini it's difficult to believe

some of Mom's cooking, but can't
afford the trip home, stop by the
Glenwood Diner and be sure not to
leave without testing a piece of
their widely-known and loved
homemade pies. Luckily for you,
the Diner is open 24 hours. Pretty
much of the same order is the
Colonial Kitchen, 5158 Peach,
located in the Kearsarge Plaza.
If you happen to be downtown,
after a long day of studying at the
Public Library or shopping, rest
your weary feet and hungry
stomach at People's Restaurant,
109 West 10th. People's also offers
irresistible specials.
Most of the restaurants already
mentioned accept take-out or
ders. And again, let me press on
the fact that they offer quick
service, good food at very
inexpensive prices.
Chinese food anyone? Come on,
I know there's a lot of people out
there who adore Chinese cuisine.
The Inn of Double Happiness on
upper Peach Street has the best
Chinese food in Erie. At 26 East
26th Street, you'll find the Four
Seas Chinese Restaurant, serving
from noon until 10 p.m. Both
provide carry out service.
Erie houses many finer
restaurants. The best bet for a
perfect night of dining and dan
cing is Sandalini's, 133 West 11th.
Sandalini's decor is perfect and
allows you to relax before, during
and after the scrumptuous meal
they're sure to serve you. The
best thing about Sandalini's is the
element of surprise when you
first glance at the menu...stuffed
steak?
Peek 'n Peak hosts a superb
dining experience in their
luxurious Inn at the Peak, in
Clymer, New York. This would be
the ideal place to get your Mom

that the main course hasn't been

Spartan Inns is usually
described as a "fun" place to eat.
You are positive to get your
steaks exactly the way you want
them because you charcoal them
yourself. Spartan Inns is located
off 1-90, exit 5, and is probably the
best place to go for an entire
evening of entertainment; you
can finish the night with an
evening of listening and dancing in
their Wooden Horse Lounge.
The Mark Restaurant, 44
Peninsula Drive, recently hosted
Behrend's Homecoming dinner
dance. I'm sure most students
were pleased with their surf 'n
turf or steak dinners. The Mark
also serves excellent sandwiches,
at inexpensive prices.•
Now, if you want "class" and
inexpensive prices, you definitely
want to visit the Blue Max
Restaurant at Erie International
Airport. fne best thing about the
Blue Max is the dating special
they've invented. For less than
$13.00, Mondays through Thur
sdays, you and your date get a
choice of a steak or seafood
dinner plus tickets to "a local
cinema theatre! If that's not a
good deal, I don't know what is.
The Station Restaurant is by
far my favorite place for dining.
Maybe it's the replica of a
railroad dining car atmosphere
or the fact that my steaks have
always been served exactly the
way I ordered them, or maybe
it's the commendable service.
The Station offers "early bird"
specials; if you dine between 5
and 7 p.m. you get your choice of
three dinners, including dessert,
beverage and the best salad bar
in town...all for under $7.00! The
Station is located at 4940 Peach
Street.
For a change of pace, give one
or two of these restaurants a
visit. It beats MacDonald's and
certainly Dobbins Hall !

`The Image 'Builder
Kansas at Edinboro
By Kevin Conway
Collegian Staff Writer
The Erie community had
another chance last week to go to
a performance of one of the finest
concert groups around, and a
group that is almost constantly on
the road. Edinboro was the site of
the concert, and the ESC
Fieldhouse was jammed to see
the group called Kansas.
Molkie Cole started the evening
of music about a half hour later
than it was scheduled to begin.
They are a good group, capable of
fine musicianship; however, a lot
of their set was nothing more than
pointless noise. The concert-goers
recognized them as a maturing
group on Saturday, and brought
them back for an encore, which
they performed with much en
thusiasm.
Kansas ca :e on after about a
thirty mirl:Le wait, and exhibited
musical talesi. that is un

this group is amazing. They
performed a lot of songs that
were on their first two albums,
and also played some new songs
which are included on their third
album, to be released very
shortly. The new material sounds
a little bit jazzier than their
previously recorded songs.
Kansas was on for a little over
an hour, but when their set ended,
the audience brought them back
for an encore, and they per
formed a thunderous version of
the J.J. Cale song, Bringing it
Back, which was the climax to a
great evening of music. Kansas
performed their encore with
much style, and the song they
chose is a perfect one to close out
any concert. "They load you up,
and let you go, bringing it back
from Mexico."
The six members of Kansas are
masters of all musical styles, and
deserve the crowds that are seen
at all of their concerts.
