Who is planning on heading to the Iron Horse? This event is the last night of the early Feb. Breakfast streak across VT/NY/MA and I know there has already been some discussion about attendance. There is usually a strong turnout (many times were sellouts in the past) at Noho gigs. For those unfamiliar with the Amherst/Northampton, MA area, there is lots of great food in the area. The Breakfast crew generally eats trays of delicious wings and nachos beforehand at the Hangar in Amherst. I\'m assuming that we will be there again this time around.

There was a place with humungoid quite delicious burritos and not much else that I ate at last time I was in the area. Any idea what it might be Al? I enjoyed it.

If you were dining in Northampton, you most likely ate at Cha Cha Cha, a Latin grille right near the Iron Horse. If you were in Amherst, you most likely ate at Bueno Y Sano.

I may add that there are lots of vegetarian/vegan options in Northampton for those of you that prefer them (Melanie for one, others as well I\'m sure).

No, it wasn\'t either of those. I believe it was within walking distance from the green in Amherst? Well, doesn\'t matter anyhow.

I can\'t wait for the Iron Horse! My family lives about 2 exits away in Beckett, MA, so it gives me a reason to spend some quality time with them before the show (& a place to crash afterwards!)

If you were in Amherst, the two burrito options are Bueno Y Sano and La Vera Cruzana.

Going to Noho?

Some very long exits on the Pike.

Glad to hear that you\'ll be representing at the Iron Horse.

right now I am planning on going, I have to work on sunday but if I can get someone to go with me and drive back while I try to catch some zzzzz\'s, I will be there, I went to the last one it was great! Only drag is you cannot get in until they clear the place out from the previous band.

Fire + Water Cafe

The place is now closed. Used to be a great place to see PB for absolutely free. Must have been nearly ten shows in that tiny basement room.

There are some even better Vegetarian cafes in the area.

The burrito place across from the Amherst Green was probably La Vera Cruzana (refied beans in their burritos). The other place is Bueno Y Sano (black or pinto beans in their burritos).
