I thought this was going to be a thread about Larry Niven's books. I was disappointed. And no, I've never been to flatlanders.

Never been there, either. I'd like to give them a try, but it really far north for me. I had thought they had closed down, but they're still around.

s.

Didn't Edwin Abbott (sp?) write a book called Flat Land? I'm pretty sure I have that sitting on a shelf in my living room.

I went to Flatlander's in Lincolnshire a few times when my wife was going to graduate school there. I can't say that there was anything necessarily bad about the place, but I will say that I was never overly impressed.

It seemed to me that the whole place was less than the sum of its parts. What I mean by that is that they seemed to have a lot going for them-- great location, nice building, excellent concept... but nothing was really special about it. Overpriced food, slow and not very friendly bartenders, beer that was forgetable (for lack of a better description-- I truly can't remember any of the beer I drank there).

On the other hand, I never really found anywhere else around there that was better.
