Geneva

 

There's a wide range of this, ranging from greasy spoon diners to the poorly prepared, over priced with ambiance that will demand your firstborn child as payment.

And there's some places inbetween that are just fine, and to the locals, some of these places are classic.

If you want to visit a local hangout, try:

Momberger's Grocery

subs

 

and, for a $2.50 breakfast that can't be beat and enough coffee to make you wizz your tits off

 

And while you're there, soak up some real, cheap, ambiance. Upstate New York style, yo.

There are several types of food available in Geneva:

Fast food

Pizza

Good Food

Bad Food

fast food

Mostly located downtown. Nearly every variety is available, but you'll probably need a car to get there see "transportation" section. You may eat it if you wish.

good food

This can be harder to come by. The quality of food is rising in Geneva, but can still often be disappointing from a Continental or Big-City point of view.

For a consistently good meals, try the Madderlake Cafe. The cafe looks humble, but is run by a couple who came east from the wine growing regions of California, where standards and competition are stiffer. The wine there is excellent, as one of the couple is a sommelier the other is the chef. The food is higher quality than many of the 'fancier' restaurants around.

pizza

This could also be listed under the "Good Food" heading. Geneva has some excellent pizza joints.

People will argue over the virtues of Cam's thin crust vs. Mark's thick crust. In my opinion, they're both delicious.

Uncle Joe's is also good, and does a terrific lunch special for about the price of a gallon of gas. They make their cookies in house. If you don't get any pizza while you're in Geneva....well, you've wasted a trip, haven't you?
