👍👍 The Pegula Palace is a nice spot to catch a hockey game or go for open skate. The seats are arranged such that the angles are all quite nice here and the tickets are never outrageously expensive like football, but still students have to pay for them. There is a Subway and several other miscellaneo...

👍👍 The workout is intense and well worth it. The coaches are awesome, professional and extremely experienced. In my opinion it’s one of the best priced class workouts that will also serve the added benefit of personal protection. Try a free class if nothing else!

I’ve never had such soggy fries, and the chicken sandwich was mostly bun. Also, it’s a bit off putting, for me, to have to completely self s...

👍👍 My son wanted me to try authentic Mexican food and recommended we visit this place. First impressions were not very favorable as the place is located inside a gas station along with Dunkin Donuts. The food makes up for the location. I tried their Gorditas and Sopes. Both were delicious. I think what...
