I think more details are required. I mean if we're talking just a single guy with no family to drag around, he might want to just hit up Woodman's for some beer and good food. Or maybe some Verve burritos for lunch.

Four college students. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions so far.

Breakfast: Johnny's (old town)

Lunch: Verve (orono)

Dinner: Margaritas (orono)

Drinks: Woodman's

You won't be sorry. Unless you don't like Mexican, then go to Woodmans instead of Margs for dinner.

Pat's Pizza, Bear Brew, for breakfast Tim Horton's since you cannot get it in Mass or Governor's.

Pat's in Orono is the best pizza parlor I think I've ever been to. You could go to one of the last three Howard Johnson restaurants in the country but I didn't think the food was that good.

Pats Pizza. I had a huge plate of spaghetti and it was delish. Lots of hockey fans there too

Margs also has $2 20oz Natty's. A college student's dream.

I have not been to the Pat's in Orono (I think this was the original?), I have been to the Yarmouth and Sunday River locations though... fantasitic Pizza IMO. Kind of like simple, but awesome!

Might as well get this started. I'll be heading up for the weekend. Second visit to Alfond, but first time spending more than a few hours in the Orono/Bangor area. Anyone got some suggestions for places to eat and things to do on Saturday?

Bring your cross country skis or hiking boots and drive down to Mount Desert for a hike or ski in Acadia. If it's a clear day, you'll enjoy the views! If you're into working out, they've got a pretty amazing fitness center on campus that allows some outsiders to pay to get in, not sure if that includes your "ilk."

It'd have to be pretty amazing to compete with the FitRec.

I lived off Pats Pizzas way back. With a draft down stairs you couldnt beat it. Dont know how many times we had it delivered to the dorms....yum. Ordering spaghetti at Pats has got to blashemous though.

I'm not familiar with FitRec. so can't make a valid comparison (and don't know what purpose it would serve if I could), but I suspect that it has one major flaw that makes it vastly inferior for the purposes of this thread, it's located about 250 miles too far away from where these guys will be on Saturday.

We used to stop in on our way home from high school. Agreed on the blasphemy thing, I thought he was talking about a spaghetti pizza, which didn't sound so good.

I liked Pat's. Goooooood pizza. Will need to see if that's on the itinerary for this trip. What's the forecast up there? Looks like travel there on Friday should be fine. What about the rest of the time there?

Pizza or why bother going to Pats, double dough, double cheese, double Hamburg, Double Pep, you'll swear the Exxon Valdez crashed on top of your pizza. Grab a 1inch thick wad of napkins and lay it on the top of the pizza. You wring that out and you could heat your house for a day.

I had the good fortune to get to several BU-Maine games at Alfond when I lived in Maine, fond memories. It's going to take a real effort but I think I have to get back there in the next few years for a game.

Anyhoo, Maine sucks, they cheat, the players are all 27 years old and the girls are uglier than a moose with mange:

That ought to get us out of the Zagats portion of the prologue.
