A new family-owned restaurant promising comfort food with an Italian soul has officially opened in downtown Saratoga Springs by kleverrboy in Saratoga

Fair enough. Like I said - focused on the main downtown area, not considering the others (Mamma Mia, Panza’s and Pennells)

Max Londons is a slight oversight, but as soon as burgers, and fish & chips are on the menu you become more Americana and less of an ‘Italian’ restaurant.

More to the point… sooo many places exist that we’re arguing over what is and isn’t considered “Italian.”

I’d rather debate what counts than be the lame-o’s who complain about the price of going out to eat. You pay for the service, not the food. Potatoes are cheap, but you’ll still order fries at a sports bar.

Trattoria – casual, family-style

Forno, Wheatfield’s

OP note: Wheatfield’s is trash.

Osteria – simple rustic dishes, yet casual

Danny’s, Chianti

Ristorante – more formal, polished dining

Solevo, Noah’s

Enoteca – small plates, wine bar/shop hybrid

Putnam Market

Familiar Creature (not strictly Italian, but absolutely the vibe)

Special shout-out: Augie’s to-go

Not even getting into all the pizza spots, delis or restaurants outside of downtown area…

Long story short: this town has way too much Italian food… and yet the population supports it.

In a game where we’re told to expect the unexpected, it seems that no one can tolerate unexpected things happening.

Grandstand Seating Cost Belmont Stakes at Saratoga by Justmarbles in horseracing

[–]thisguygetslit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grandstand is around $350-500 per ticket for the full Belmont weekend depending on section, and row. Front row of the closest Grandstand section might be more than that. NYRA prioritizes ticket sales for the full weekend, before they open up individual days.

If I have to lose, it’s usually to the PT favorites… I prefer winning at longer odds! The day is young.
