Message: [QUOTE="Noexcuse, post: 4912334, member: 18"] Solevo in Saratoga Springs is my current favorite. Schenectady in the day had some great ones that I remember growing up: Cornell’s, Mother Ferro’s, Luigi’s, Mama Bianchi’s in Little Italy and Petta’s and Ferrari’s in Mt. Pleasant. The Schenectady Blue Jays had their team dinners at Pettas and Ferro’s - probably Tommy Ladorda’s influence. As an aside Lee Riley managed the Jays during the 50’s. He was the father of Pat Riley all American basketball star at Linton High School and Kentucky, NBA player and eventual HOF basketball coach. Riley was a star on the Linton team that handed Lew Alcindor’s Power Memorial team 1 of only 2 losses they suffered during Alcindor’s high school career. Coincidentally years later Pat coached Lew (Kareem) on the Lakers. Cornell’s morphed into Armando’s in Rotterdam which is pretty good. [/QUOTE]
