Buenos Aires E. Village

If your date loves meat, I guess this place can be romantic. They have the dark furniture and dimmed lights. But as Will4Food said, it's small. Who knows, mounds and mounds of great meat dishes to you might be more important than ambiance.

East Village Bakery

As far as i know, Birdbath doesn't have loaves of bread.

Best Chinese Delivery UES (90's)

Lili's is my favorite in that neighborhood

Where can I find specialty baking ingredients?

Kalustyan's has a wide range of bean flours and I remember seeing a gum powder (don't remember what kind) there recently.

Your Fresh Direct picks?

I agree. The thin crust pizzas are really good.

overrated restaurants

I hope they were some big scallops...

Where can I buy Dried Orange Peel?

I would try Kalustyans

pre-theatre dinner suggestions?

Birthday dim sum in Chinatown

Why don't you like Jing Fong? I'm not Chinese, so I'd like to know if it's just not authentic or there are problems I am missing.

Zen Palate - Union Sq. need advice

I find it hard to believe they don't take reservations...where does it say that? You should definitely call them to double check.

Cheap Eats around Wall Street? $5-$10 picks?

Yeah, they're all related

Momofuko - Noodles or Ssam?

I prefer the noodles. The pork buns are awesome!

Mangosteen?

Are Thai mangosteens better?

Gum paste

I know you can order gum paste online, but ss there a store in Manhattan where I can get pre-made gum paste?

Pomegranate Molasses - Really Delicious!

hungry pangolin, I use pomegranate molasses on vanilla ice cream too. It reminds me of aged balsamic vinegar.
