I haven't been to Pizzeria Uno in a long time either, but we ordered a
delicious thin crusted mushroom pizza the last couple of times.

Andy, your idea sounds like fun. I was just in that area earlier today,
but I didn't get to the Reading Terminal Market. Send me email privately
and we can set something up. I am partial to the Reading Terminal Market
over the Italian Market, so we could meet there if its okay with you. My
email address is in the header of this message.

Stan,

Reading Terminal Market is THE place to meet up, agreed.

Do I get a free Heinz ketchup T-shirt and an autograph?

Best,

Andy

Well then,

Stan and I have decided to meet up on May 24th (Saturday) at Reading
Terminal Market in center city Philadelphia, PA at high noon and wish to
extend the invite to the r.f.c membership.

We can all choose from all the various cuisines to purchase from all over
the market and can settle at the common seating area to dine and chat and
laugh it up. There's great food shopping before or after for this or that.

http://readingterminalmarket.org/merchants/

So come one, come all for lunch!

It's centrally located from all points near and far, upstairs from the
Market & 12th street train station.

Weather, being indoors is constantly perfect.

A very colorful place to see and be seen.

See ya there!

Andy

I think it was Rachael who went to ... what's the name of it, Jose
Garcia's? in Ft. Worth, TX.
Anyway, she played it up but it's nothing special. The food's not all
that good and you don't really get enough of it (well, not for me...)
The place isn't known for its food but for its atmosphere. It has a huge
landscaped patio, many decorated rooms inside, etc.
It's a nice place for a party, but not when you want good food.
Kinda calls into question everything else she's been to, ya know?
