tristarscoop, I'm going to try and eat crab at LP Steamers, thanks for the tip. It has good reviews and the rooftop sounds very cool. laserbomb, we've been to NYC and don't really want to be there with a car, so we're going to skip it this time. Also, it may be hard to get my girlfriend to leave NYC if we go there. While trying to priceline my first two nights of this road trip... I've discovered that we're in Buffalo / Niagara Falls during National Buffalo Wing Fest. What incredible luck! Not! Hotels are ridiculously expensive the night of September 3rd. So lame. Anyone happen to know any cheap but clean hotels/motels in that area? Just thought I'd give it a shot. We may end up getting a private room at a hostel for $80... but that's a lot of money for a hostel. We may also just drive around and call places late at night hoping they'll cut us a break since we'll just be showing up at midnight, sleeping for 8 hours, and leaving in the morning.
