This is getting a bit technical but UNOs chain restaurants and the original Uno (and Due across the street) are actually 2 completely different restaurants. It’s a brand licensing deal.
Except NY Pizza.PIZZA, Most Overated Food there is!
I agree. I realize that I am of a different generation than this gentleman, but watching Netflex as much as he seemed to be doing? I don't understand that kind of behavior.
If he’s this cranky as a young whiz kid, I can just imagine how much fun he will be to be around when he’s old and grumpy!
If this guy expects to be taken seriously as a reporter, he really needs to fact check. This line was especially cringe-worthy:
Absolutely spot on. I may 'borrow' that description next time someone asks me about LD train travel.
At least he didn’t call them porters! (Too soon?)
This reads like a Cheech and Chong Sister Mary Elephant class trip review.
I took a 19-hour overnight Amtrak train from New York to Chicago and found it wasn't worth the $550 price tag
An Insider reporter booked a room on an Amtrak train and found the small space not to be worth the $550 price tag.www.yahoo.com
He probably didn’t even pay the highest fare. Reports roll was best part of dinner. I hope this makes it to Amtrak management and congressional staffers.
But you clicked it and read it! They get the $$$!!!
I guess he never heard of Yelp, which would have given him all the info that seemed to catch him by surprise at the restaurant, lol. He kind of seems like a guy who has a hard time dealing with things that aren't just the same as what he is used to. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but not the best personality trait for someone who reviews things for a living.The author has a new article out. Spoiler alert: He is hard to impress.
I tried Chicago's famous deep dish pizza for the first time and was not impressed
An Insider reporter, who is a born and bred New Yorker, tried deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati's in Chicago and didn't like the taste of the sauce.www.insider.com
I agree with everything he said. He would like the atmosphere of Uno, Due, it Genos East and he shouldn’t order the individual pizzas, they don’t give anyone a sense of “deep dish Chicago” - imho.
I think his Amtrak article is fairly accurate. He may write some clickbait type articles and got lots of attention here on the forum. Your comment on his journalism school cost is rude.
I read a few of these and he is incredibly ignorant concerning the experiences he writes about. It really shouldn't be him writing about these things; he should either stick to something he knows something about or spend a little time, like any reasonable person would, first trying to find out a modicum about the experiment he is about to embark upon. But maybe being The Fool (like in the Tarot deck) embarking on an unknown journey is his schtick.I am starting to think that Mr. Olito is just a wee bit negative.
I tried living in a luxury camper van for a weekend during the winter, and I'll never do it again
An Insider reporter spent three nights in January in a camper van and found that van life isn't all that's it's cracked up to be.
I tried making 2 grilled cheese sandwiches in my air fryer, and they were so dry I wouldn't do it again
It took 12 minutes for an Insider reporter to cook grilled cheese sandwiches in an air fryer, and he found them to be too dry and crunchy.
I stayed at a campground for the first time in a camper van during the off-season, and I didn't think it was worth the price
An Insider reporter stayed at a campground just outside of Philadelphia in January and found it largely empty.
I paid $1,000 to sleep in a tiny house on a remote island in the middle of New York City — and it was not worth the price
Collective Retreats has tiny homes on Governors Island that cost $1,000 a night, but the high price tag only includes scenic views and a complimentary breakfast.
ok, i read this - if i knew this person, i would tell him to keep his negative attitude at home where evidently everything is wonderful and down to his "standards"The author has a new article out. Spoiler alert: He is hard to impress.

Maybe it's bad now but I always preferred (fresh) Lou Malnati's over the others. Gino's East was my least favorite and had to close up down here.
For some reason Californian vineyards can apparently call it Champagne too.
With airport lounges I'm invited to visit with an entry coupon whereas Amtrak just assumes I know where lounges are located and who has access. Having seen lounge dragons berate and belittle passengers over minor misunderstandings I would never presume to have access unless specifically told so.
I was talking about the atmosphere specifically. Lou Malnatis pizza is quite good (the standard sizes). But Geno’s East (the Chicago location with all the graffiti on the walls) is easily one of my favorites as well.
Thanks to a 100 year old loophole.

Calling the SCA a "conductor" may be due to a lack of proof reading of what he wrote. Is there any one of us who has not been guilty of that at times?
