"New Shanghai is awesome. I have lunch there a few times a month, and can vouch for their numbing (dizzying) hot bamboo shoot (MA LA all caps), flaky leek pie, dan dan noodles, ma po tofu (with leeks, nice!), 'green bean tofu with Sichuan style' (which I think is usually called 'cold jelly' or something like that—it's actually noodles with no green beans or tofu involved as far as I can tell) and savory, addictive Chongqing chicken." – melon

"Basta Pasta makes a giant sub—they were slipping a few into a delivery car last time I was there. It was very very funny to watch the guy getting them into the little hatchback." – yumyum on where to find a giant submarine sandwich for a party

"Without a doubt, Cafe Vanille on Charles Street. The best croissant outside of Paris, better than some I ate living there. I can't remember what the pain au chocolat is like but the almond is spectacular and the plain is delicious." – ebaba on where to find a great croissant
