New Yorkers Sneakily Ripped Off By Panera? How to Get Money Back



NEW YORKERS SNEAKILY RIPPED OFF BY PANERA? HOW TO GET MONEY BACK

Panera Bread is settling a multi-million dollar lawsuit that alleges the company
ripped off customers without them even knowing. With restaurant locations in
Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Fishkill, Middletown, Newburgh and Wallkill, it's likely
that Panera owes many Hudson Valley residents compensation.

I don't know about you but sometime over the past five years, Panera went from
the place where I'd go to treat myself to some comfort food to an unorganized
restaurant that serves mediocre hospital food. Whether my tastes changed, the
restaurant chain lowered its standards or a combination of both, Panera
certainly isn't the same as I remember.

Recently, the restaurant chain was under fire after being blamed for the deaths
of two customers and serious health issues of another. Panera is accused of not
properly advertising that its Charged Lemonade contains caffeine. A lawsuit
claims that describing the beverage as "charged" is confusing, as many customers
may not understand that it means the drink is full of caffeine.

Now there's another reason to be disappointed in Panera as information comes to
light that the company is also being accused of ripping off New Yorkers.

PANERA ACCUSED OF SNEAKY RIPOFF SCHEME AGAINST NEW YORK CUSTOMERS

According to a lawsuit filed against Panera, the restaurant was accused
of inflating prices in a scheme to trick customers into thinking they
were getting a deal for ordering on the restaurant's app.

USA Today reports that Panera advertised to customers that they would receive
free or low-cost delivery for every app order. What they didn't reveal was that
the price of their order was secretly inflated by up to 7% to make up for the
cost of delivery.


Getty Images for Panera



HOW AFFECTED NEW YORKERS CAN RECEIVE COMPENSATION FROM PANERA

Those who've ordered delivery on the Panera app or website between October 1,
2020 and August 31, 2021 are eligible to receive a portion of the class-action
settlement. According to an agreement, customers will be able to choose between
cash or coupons good for free meals.

Those eligible in the settlement can opt to receive an electronic payment of $12
or two coupons good for any item on the restaurant's "Soups & Mac" totaling up
to a maximum of $19.

Customers identified by the company's database as eligible for compensation may
receive an email from the company with directions on how to receive a claim. If
you believe you were scammed by Panera and didn't receive an email you can find
out more information about the settlement online.

TRAVEL WRITER PICKS HIS TOP 12 UPSTATE NEW YORK ITALIAN RESTAURANTS

Over the last 15 years or so, I have driven thousands of miles all around
Upstate New York researchi8ng and exploring places for my 12 travel guides
published for this area. Almost always, when it comes to dinner time, whether in
Buffalo, Ithaca, or the Hudson Valley, I head to an Italian restaurant for a
meal. And, yes, over these many years and miles I do have favorites. Here are a
dozen of them!

#1: Little Venice (Binghamton)

Little Venice via Facebook


#1: LITTLE VENICE (BINGHAMTON)

For the 4th time over the years in my polls, Little Venice comes in at #1. I
find this place so much like an old friend. Beautiful dining room, lovely oil
paintings on the wall, celebrity signed photos all over the restaurant, friendly
servers who are cheerful, professional, and definitely of the "old school" style
of service. Comfortably elegant, and the food is still outstanding. From the
best spaghetti sauce you can find, to the tangy Italian dressing and the warm
crusty Italian bread, and everything in between, I cannot find a single fault
from visiting this venerable establishment which has been open since 1946. I
once thought the fact that they do not serve meatballs, but rather meatlogs, was
kind of hokey. Now, I can't wait to find them on my plate. So here's to you
Little Venice, still #1 in my book!


Little Venice

Binghamton, NY
Broome County

#2: Ralph's Italian American Tavern (Albany)

Ralphs Tavern via Facebook


#2: RALPH'S ITALIAN AMERICAN TAVERN (ALBANY)

I first found Ralphs more than a half century ago when I was attending Albany
Business College after graduating from high school in 1967. Even with the little
money I had at the time, I loved the food, ambiance, and generous sized
portions. None of that has changed. For some reason I have always had my food up
at the bar. Whether alone in the "old days" or even now with my wife of many
years. I like to watch the bartenders in action, listen in on the chit chat all
around from this (seemingly) always busy place, and enjoy watching the sports on
TV. The food literally spills out over the plate (or bowl) and although I am
tempted to take what I don't eat home with me...I always eat it all while there!
I love Ralph's, and it is still one of my favorite dining memories even after
more than 50 years.


Ralph's Tavern
1328 Central Avenue
Albany, NY
(518) 489-8290

#3: Santasieros (Buffalo)

Santasieros via Facebook


#3: SANTASIEROS (BUFFALO)

During my writing career, whenever I had to do a research trip to Western New
York, or maybe I got an invite to do a book presentation around Buffalo, I would
smile to myself knowing that I had a dinner waiting for me at this classic
old-time Italian restaurant that is now over 100 years old. Menu is still
written on the wall, ambiance is still homey and cluttered with family
photographs from down through the ages, the wine list is great, the beer is
cold, and the food is just like grandma once made,. Simple dishes (the macaroni
and bean soup is a highlight) compete with many other servings will give you a
belly full of goodness here. And, oddly enough, they make a VERY good Beef on
Weck here (the official sandwich of old school Buffalo).The red-and-white
checked floor tiles remind me of the Godfather movie for some reason. Can't wait
to get back to Buffalo...and the great Santasiero's!!


Santasiero's
1329 Niagara Street
Buffalo, NY

#4: Pizza Land (Oneonta)

Pizza Land via Facebook


#4: PIZZA LAND (ONEONTA)

Full disclosure. I lived in Oneonta all during my 33 year radio career. So, yes,
I do have a favorite. I haunted Pizza Land. By myself, going out with friends,
for family gatherings, and more. I ordered plenty of pizzas here, and they were
fantastic. But for me, the pasta was almost magical. A nice, tangy red sauce, a
tiny-bit chewy pasta noodles, large, solid meatballs, and fresh grated Parmesan
cheese. That is all I need brother. Oh, and if you order a salad :"with the meat
roll ups," you will be in heaven. Trust me. I think they have a plaque on a
chair in here for me. Just about perfect.


Pizza Land
24 Oneida Street
Oneonta, NY
(607) 432-3850

#5: Vescio's Franklin Hotel (Rome)

Franklin Hotel via Facebook


#5: VESCIO'S FRANKLIN HOTEL (ROME)

One of the Mohawk Valley's really great Italian restaurants. Yes, they are also
known for their steaks, sandwiches, pastries, salads, etc. But the pasta dishes
really check all the boxes for me. Whether I am ordering a full Pancetta with
Chicken and Broccoli dinner, or maybe just an order of homemade gnocchi, it is
fantastic. The interior is nothing spectacular to look at, and more than once
the dining room has been elbow to elbow when I visited, but this is a great old
school place that is now over 50 years old. Find this place...you will love it!


Franklin Hotel
301 James Street
Rome, NY
(315) 336-9974

#6: Ristorante Lucano (Rochester)

Ristorante Lucano via Facebook


#6: RISTORANTE LUCANO (ROCHESTER)

A nice way to end a day on the road. Classy, elegant, classic menu options,
friendly hosts. Love the atmosphere with "Old World" style wall paintings, and
they have a vintage bar that is a throwback to "the old days." I wholeheartedly
agree with this recent his 5-star TripAdvisor review: "Patrons often describe
Ristorante Lucano as one of Rochester's "hidden treasures." Here, the authentic
recipes are prepared with heart and feeling, using imported Italian ingredients,
crisp vegetables and fresh seafood. The Ristorante Lucano owners are proud of
their heritage as well as their cuisine, as is evident in the friendly service
and delightful, elegant atmosphere."

#7: Angees (Olean)

Angees via Facebook


#7: ANGEES (OLEAN)

One of this college city's beloved restaurants (now 75 years old). Delicious
pizza, wings, burgers, nothing fancy, all casual. Pasta dishes are simply
outstanding. Try the Tortellini Parmigiana which is tortellini tossed with their
famous tomato sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese and baked to golden
brown." Famous tomato sauce? Yes indeed, and you can take home a couple of jars
of it here before you leave!

#8: Mario's (Lake George)

Marios via Facebook


#8: MARIO'S (LAKE GEORGE)

Maybe it is unfair that you might think you wouldn't find fine dining" in a
tourist mecca like the main drag of Lake George. But, not true! Mario's fills
its dining room all summer long. And after the season ends, the locals return to
enjoy some of the best food you can find around the "Queen of American Lakes." A
message from the owners on their website tells their story: "From Osso Buco to
Steak Pizzaiola, Chicken Marsala to Chicken Scampi to Chicken or Veal
Saltimbocca. Salmon Filet to Seafood Fra Diavolo, Mario's will have something to
satisfy every member of your party. A fine wine menu is also available to
complete your meal! So if you have never tried Mario's, now is a great time. If
you already know Mario's, why not treat yourself and your family tonight?
Cooking for you since 1954, your hosts, Paul & Nancy Nichols"


Mario's
429 Canada Street
Lake George, NY
(518) 668-2665

#9: Joey's Italian Restaurant (Syracuse)

Joey's via facebook


#9: JOEY'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT (SYRACUSE)

In a city of many fine Italian restaurants, Joey's is my favorite. Always
treated like a long lost family member, and the food is without equal (in my
opinion) in the Salt City. Go for the Cavatelli Aletea. Consists of Cavatelli in
delicate cream sauce with asiago cheese, prosciutto, baby peas, mushrooms and
roasted red peppers  From their website: "Joey's Italian Restaurant at Carrier
Circle has been serving up fine Italian American cuisine since 1982. Located on
Thompson Road North at Carrier Circle, with NYS Thruway Exit #35 close nearby,
Joeys has an extensive menu with an array of choices from fresh made pastas and
sauces, veal, beef, poultry and seafood along with wide range of appetizer and
dessert choices. As the sign above the entrance states, "Two great restaurants
under one roof," Pronto Joeys upstairs features a casual Italian American
menu. Joey’s also offers catering services on or off premises."

6594 Thompson Road
Syracuse, NY

#10: Mama Lucia (Potsdam)

Mama Lucia via Facebook


#10: MAMA LUCIA (POTSDAM)

I first became aware of Mama Lucia's when visiting our daughter over four years
at State University of New York in Canton. There were not a lot of choices for
Italian in the area (except for pizza places) but Mama Lucia's fit the bill.
Good pizza, great Italian dished, casual atmosphere, easy on the wallet, and a
friendly crowd of students and adults. I liked it here a lot.


Mama Lucia's
1 Constitution Street
Potsdam, NY
(315) 265-0475

#11: Brio's (Phoenicia)

Brio's via Facebook


#11: BRIO'S (PHOENICIA)

One of the most beautiful little Catskill Mountain towns. Many people come here
to eat at on e of America's favorite diners (Phoenicia Dine), but for a taste of
Italian, I walk down the tiny Main Street and saddle up at Brio's for some
top-notch Italian fare. A neat restaurant in a very cool Catskill village!


Brio's
68 Main Street
Phoenicia, NY
Ulster County

#12: Cortese (Binghamton)

Cortese Restaurant via Facebook


#12: CORTESE (BINGHAMTON)

A Binghamton favorite for 75 years. Cortese joins Little Venice as two on my
list of 12 favorite Italian restaurants. What is it about Binghamton anyways?
This is one of the most elegant restaurants in Binghamton, superb service, and
top notch food, from steaks to pasta.to seafood. A big "celebratory restaurant,"
in that for many this is a go-to place for weddings, anniversaries, and special
days to celebrate with excellent Italian food. Even I am not sturdy enough to
wade into the Cortese vs. Little Venice battle, so I surrender and put them both
on my all-time favorites list.
