Looking for a restaurant around the Hurontario/403 area (or a 15 minute or so drive from there) for Valentine's dinner. Price range around the $20 or so per entree. Preferably not Asian, but if there is a REALLY good one would consider it. Was thinking Alioli on Burnhamthorpe ... any good suggestions? Open to anything - hubby loves steak ... Help please!

Thanks!

Don't know if this is off-topic a bit ... but I figured a good place to start for foodie info ...anyone know where to buy Pearl Sugar to make Liege Waffles? I can't buy it in Canada and hope to find some in NYC while I am there next week!

Thanks Simon ... I have been doing a bit of researching here and found Malatesta and Cacio e Vino on some posts so I think we will try one of those ... will look into the others too - I appreciate your help!

Any Thai restaurants that serve Crispy Duck?

Love any cuisine actually ... Asian, American, Indian, Italian ...
We are staying in Weehawkin NJ and will be exploring Manhatten around major tourist spots and a bit of Brooklyn as we have friends who live there ...
We have toured Europe extensively and usually try to go off the main streets to find good food and not overpriced touristy fare.
We are coming from Toront Ontario Canada area so are looking for food that is moderately priced ... say around $20-$30 per person before tax/tip ... or less. Lunches I would like to do on the cheaper side ... say a sandwhich to pick up ...
Because we are only in NYC for a short time I don't want to waste money and time on crumby food.
I know in a bit city it is hard to narrow it down to a couple of options but am trying to get the best gastro-experience possible.
Have decided that the picky teen will just have to suck it up and find "something" wherever we go.

We are heading to NYC next week and are looking for some moderately priced dining options for a family of 4 including a 14 year old boy who will anything and a 17 year old girl who is incredibly picky - and two adults who don't want to spend any time in any "average" fast food venues! Does anyone have any suggestions? Are food trucks good options for lunch on the go? Are they easy to find in NYC?
