Just Jack Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) So, every year for a long time, on the week of the draft, it’s been tradition to go to Nick Tahoe’s on Friday and get plates. This year will be different, since we can not sit inside and eat. The plan is, if you’re okay with being outside with a group of people, to meet up at noon at Nicks, go in and get your plate, then join us outside as we tailgate in their lot. Bring a chair or depending on your vehicle, just open the back and sit. Park in the back of the left of the lot so we’re away from the door. Questions? Comments? @JÂy RÛßeÒ Edited April 22, 2020 by Just Jack
1ManRaid Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I would but I think the border is still closed...

So we're trying to do our part to help out a local institution (national treasure?) Part 2 - we're the ones coordinating a tailgate outside. It's a parking lot picnic. With plates.

I stopped in in a couple weeks ago and was talking with the guys behind the counter, and they were saying business is about 25% of what it normally would be this time of year.

I think it's safe to say that every restaurant in the state is suffering as much and worse. It sucks. A lot of people are doing what they can (getting takeout, delivery) to help the small guys out ... and that's awesome. I think it will have to continue long after this is "over," for many to fully recover. Sounds like you're socially-distancing, too, which is also cool. I hope everyone has a great time and you guys get good weather for it! Be well and be safe!!!! 1
RyanC883 Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 this is an awesome idea. if I were in Rochester I’d be there. And I agree plates are a national treasure!

Last time I ordered from our regular delivery place, the girl who delivered said they'd never been so busy and she was grateful. But the more traditional sit-in places are the ones who really need the help. I feel terrible for them. 1

Find a truck driver driving from Canada who wants a 2nd person. My sister works in customs and essential goods are still being shipped over border per DHS rules.

Already had an issue once with an ignorant border agent threatening to not let me back home into Canada for made up reasons before the whole pandemic thing.
