Wasn't me.

Don't you have a Blues tattoo on one ass cheek, a tattoo of Mighty Mouse on the other?
Minnie Mouse, Goon. Not Mighty Mouse.

Shit, get it right.

:lol: The Old Spaghetti Factory???? Did this guy say that he was 12 years old or something?

If you drive 29 hours to St. Louis and eat Italian food anywhere but The Hill, you might as well hit up a Fazolis on the way.
There's nothing wrong with the Spaghetti Factory...especially if he wants to stay downtown. It's good and it's cheap and the atmosphere is cool.
That spaghetti with Mizithra cheese and browned butter is killer.

Would I go there for my only meal in St. Louis? No. But if I'm going to be in town for three or four days, I'd definitely go there once to eat.

Spaghetti Factory... > x infinity...Fazoli's... not that there's anything wrong with Fazoli's. :wink:
Sorry Curt, Spaghetti Factory is $hit, has always been $hit, will always be $hit.

Some teams stay at the westin hotel across from Busch.

The players enter the arena from the long ramp on 16th street. It is right after parking garage.

I will be at the Leafs Friday night game too.

The players typically stay in a town called Chesterfield about 30 min. from downtown. Many stay at the Double Tree. If price is not a concern you can stay at the Hilton at Union Station. It is right by the rink. The nice thing about St. Louis is that it's like a 20-30 min. drive anywhere you want to go. As far as titty bar's are concerned...well when you see the billboard for the Hustler Club on I-70 you will know why we aren't encouraging that. When you get to the game you can look up the two assholes that sit at the top of sec. 324. They will be the two drunks yelling Canadian Beer sucks.

To each his own. But if it were "$hit", it would have closed down years ago. It's been there for a long time and it's packed on most nights.
Sorry sir, but I do believe you are in the minority...not that there is anything wrong with that.

the spaghetti factory is okay. is it scalini fedeli, il mulino, or babbo? No. Is it even zia's or even favazza's? no. but it's quite edible if you ask me.

Agree to disagree. I just wouldn't consider it a highlight of a visit to St. Louis for someone from Manitoba, seeing that he could just hit up the Spaghetti Factory in Winnipeg. Hell, while you’re at it try one of our St. Louis area McDonald's.

If you want good St. Louis Italian food........

Try dipping you White Castles’ in some marinara.

Oh, and wash it down with a fine red…

Budweiser.....aged……no more than three or four weeks (day fresh is the best, but good luck finding that)

So my friend that was supposed to come with me, can't anymore, she can't afford the trip or to miss school now. So looks like the tickets I have are for sale, its kind of a long road trip to do alone. I don't have them on me, they are at my parents in a fire proof box, so I am not exactly sure of the face value, I think its roughly $180 USD per ticket

Club Center - 104 - DD Can't remember the seats.

If you are interested PM me, I'd prefer to have them sold before the end of January, so that I can ship them out and have them to you before the game.

Asking $150 per ticket o.b.o.

The seats include free food and drinks, served to you in your seats.

Do you just make this crap up? There's a substantial Italian community/population in Toronto. Jesus, glen, Italian-Canadians make up like 10 percent of the population in the Toronto area. That's a huge amount.
Sorry to have offended you, Goon. We take pride in our Italian food here. Anywhere else seems dramatically inferior. But if Italian food made by 7th generation Italians is your thing, then by all means knock yourself out. I prefer to go to a meat store where the owner sounds like he just finished up at Ellis Island.
Ever heard of Giontoni's (sp?) on the hill? He was the best man and my grandpa's wedding.
