The Definitive Solution to the Upstate NY Question

[x10003q]

boy I don't remember that, the only landmark I recall was the big tile mural at Paramus (?)

Alexander's - NE corner of Rt 4/ Rt 17.

Paramus Alexander’s mural comes out of storage (in pieces) for new exhibit

Stefan Knapp's huge expressionistic mural has mostly been sitting in storage since the Paramus Alexander's department store closed in the 1990s.

Matt's Beer Balls!

More of it in the upstate here.

Remember the beerball? It was once the life of every party

The plastic sphere of draft beer was introduced to the world by F.X. Matt Brewing in Utica.

My people!!!!
In college we'd drink the beer ball then cut a hole big enough to put your head thru. Light a joint, put said beer ball over your head, tuck a towel around the opening and your neck, smoke said joint. Wow!!
The good old days....lol

What about roadside chicken BBQ? Do those exist downstate?

 

[Brownski]

Well they do have bbq chicken places and they’re generally street accessible … what does “roadside” indicate in this context?

Where some local organization cooks up a bunch of chicken halves in Cornell BBQ sauce. They usually come with salt potatoes, cole slaw or bad macaroni salad and perhaps a roll. The chicken pretty much falls apart because it has been marinated for a day or so and slow cooked. You would know one if you drove by it. You car smells amazing because it is filled with BBQ smell.

I guess If I have to explain it, the answer is no.

Chicken BBQ FB page! The next one has pulled pork, too! It's on my calendar. More information about chicken BBQ.

Now, I must go marinate my chicken.
