We are finally underway. Our original plan was to head from Toronto to Rochester and have dinner with our friends from Contsellation Wines whose headquarters are there last night. The Toronto ice storm(also occuring in Rochester) put stop to that. So today, April 12, saw a new plan.. a stop in Binghamton NY and another 5 hour run into Brooklyn tomorrow.
Something about Binghampton rang a bell and when I checked I discovered that the university here is a one of the most highly regarding public universities in the USA.--part of SUNY- YOu need great grade to come here.. has lots of international students.. lots of grad students and a huge amount or research grants.
They have a performing arts centre on campus.. with three theatre spaces. The main hall seats 1100 , and can fit a 80 piece orchestra in the pit! Right here in Binghamton NY which believe me is off the beaten path.. Fascinating.
If you ever find yourself here, go to Number 5 for dinner. It is in an old firehall.. wonderful staff, great food and amazing price , a really terrific wine list and plent of choice by the glass, and a well placed bar which can be used for both sports and band and dancing. We love it and kept thinking Maggie would give it five stars for covering all the bases without giving away one.
One to Brooklyn tomorrow.
