Ukestock 08′ at the White Eagle

Ukelelies

R.I.P Tiny Tim

Thanks to WormTownTaxi.com for bringing this to our attention, the White Eagle is having Ukefest ‘08 on Saturday, September 6th, right after Canal Fest!  I’ve never seen someone play the ukulele in person, so after Canalfest we might actually head over to see it!

While we know nothing about it, and honestly the website doesn’t give much more information, it’s definitely interesting to see what some people can do with a seemingly benign instrument! The White Eagle and Ukestock ‘08 definitely have our interest!

Hopefully we’ll get down there and take some pictures for people to take a look after the event.  Ukestock is just another reason why Canal Fest is going to be such a huge event, no matter what your interests include.

Roma’s

Monday, August 18th, 2008

For my mother’s 51st birthday, we decided to try the Canal District’s newest restaurant, Roma’s.  The restaurant is located on the corner of Harrison and Harding Street where The Blackstone Bakery and Deli was located. It is owned by the same family as the old Union Station restaurant.  I made reservations for 8 on a Wednesday for Saturday night.  I am glad we did this because there was a line out the door waiting for a table.  I thought that the atmosphere was great.  The noise level was kind of loud but mostly just conversation by the surrounding tables, not to mention my father is always the loudest person in any room.  The food was great!  I ordered the Chicken Marsala, which came out steaming hot, just how I like it.  My only complaint would be the service.  Our waitress at often times seemed flustered.  We ordered some garlic bread which didn’t come out until we were done our meal.  The prices were very reasonable, $16 for the most expensive plate.  The best feature of this restaurant is the BYOB.  They provided us with all the glasses, ice, mixer’s etc.  It made the night that less expensive.  Overall, it was a great dining experience.

Roma’s is also reviewed on other restaurant review sites, such as tasteworcester.com
