DC baby-friendly favorite restaurants?

This is amazing. Exactly what I was looking for. I was actually going to write "No Chuck Cheese Please" in my post =) Thanks so much for your help!!

DC baby-friendly favorite restaurants?

I'll be in DC for a biz trip, staying at Tyson's but will have a car and will travel. My husband and 9 month old will be joining me. We are looking for delicious finds throughout DC (farm-to-table/local-movement, innovative, interesting young chefs at the helm) that you think would be baby friendly. In this case you've either brought your baby with you or you've seen babies at the restaurant =) Price point doesn't matter. A restaurant in an interesting/safe area where we could walk around after/before would be a plus. Thanks for your help!

Baby friendly recommendations- SoBe/Miami design district

haha--yes, exactly. the walk off =) these are great.

Baby friendly recommendations- SoBe/Miami design district

My husband and I will be in Miami next weekend and are looking for delicious, baby-friendly restaurants for ourself and our 5 month old. Maybe a lovely lunch spot or place that's great for an early dinner. We are staying at the Mandarin Oriental but will have a car. Cuban, seafood, farm-to-table preferred. Thank you.

One perfect dinner in Ft. Lauderdale

My husband and I ate at Market 17 on our recent trip to FLL and it was amazing. The food was delicious--from the appetizers to dessert. Would highly recommend. Fresh ingredients, great service, delicious food.

New Years in Fort Lauderdale- Where do you recommend?

Hi All, my husband and I are staying for 4 nights at the Atlantic Hotel and are looking for some great restaurant recommendations in the FLL area, especially for New Year's Eve. We are a young couple from NYC who work in the fashion industry and loooove good food, especially farm-to-table, home-cooked styles. We love every cuisine, so would appreciate your suggestions: new and noteworthy? landmark must-visits? romantic suggestions? thanks!

Hungry for: Lake Maggiore + Sestri Levante

You rock!! Thanks so much @barberinibee

Hungry for: Lake Maggiore + Sestri Levante

Romantic trip with husband planned next week for Lake Maggiore (Verbania) and Sestri Levanti (3 nights in each). We'll have a car and will travel for an amazing meal. 1st phase of eating around the Lake Maggiore region and 2nd phase in the S Levanti/Portofino/Cinque Terre region...Would so appreciate your insights into a memorable restaurant experience in these 2 regions. Romance/amazing view a plus, but not a necessity. Again, will drive for amazing meals! Lunches, dinners, whatever you suggest--Chowhoundians have never let me down. Thanks!

Parma Hotel + Itinerary HELP!

Thank you so much Jen! I was looking into Agritourismo Leoni as well =) I might look into staying a little closer to the city center like you suggested, since we're only going to be in town for 1 night. I do love AL's working farm concept which would be amazing too. Will let you know how we make out. Thanks again!

Parma Hotel + Itinerary HELP!

Fellow Chowhoundians, you have never steered me wrong, so I appeal to your culinary and travel insights. My hubby and 1 are planning on spending 1 night/day in Parma in 2 weeks. No hotel has been booked, so am looking for recommendations for an interesting/centrally located hotel as well as dinner and lunch suggestions. We are an NYC couple, no kids, early 30s, food lovers. Your help would be much appreciated. Also, any MUST MUST visit tour suggestions would be welcome. Thank you!

Amsterdam must-visit restaurants?

Hi All, Having some problems because most of these restaurants you so thoughtfully recommended will be closed the week between Xmas-NY. If you do know of any others that you love that are open, please pass those along!

Amsterdam must-visit restaurants?

Help with a food itinerary for next weekend in D.C.?

Hi! Thanks for your response. Price point isn't a concern, as long as the food is worth it. Perhaps more contemporary than traditional. Somewhere where the food is exciting. Thanks again!
