Hi, is there another place similar to Food Gallery 32 in the same neighborhood in Manhattan? I think there is, just can't remember the name or find it online..help!

Been living here for 7 years and I haven't had any of the pizzas the city has to offer..any suggestions of what places i should visit?

Oh, forgot to mention, it's in Tuckahoe in Westchester....

Has anybody been? How was the food?

So, I went to Bistro Latino on Friday night and I wanted to like it sooo much...but was terrible disappointed. Generally, I’m more forgiving about bad service, but service was terrible...we stood in the front for about 10 minutes and nobody would come and talk to us...then when we finally got a table, our waitress gave us the drink menus...disappeared for a while...then took our drink orders, was a little aggressive in asking me what wine i was having (btw, I’m 36 weeks pregnant, and it's noticeable)....about 15 minutes after the drinks arrived, they gave us our menus, and the waitress kept disappearing, then the manager, came over, to take our order and then we didn't see our waitress for a very long time...we ordered additional drinks, the waitress forgot about it (and she wasn't doing anything, just walking around!) and then the plates were taken we were just sitting there waiting for dessert to be offered...she kept walking around oblivious and then finally when she approached us, we asked for the check and she ask is then if we wanted some coffee or dessert... seriously...for a tiny place, they were well staffed but this girl was such an airhead..now to the food..

Was disappointing…since service was so slow and we just wanted to eat and get the heck out of there….we ordered the mussels, which were excellent, perfectly cooked…for main we had the short rib and the bronzino and they were both very BLAND…I know we didn’t sample much but the tapas we super expensive…usually, tapas you can find vegetarian items that are around 6 – 10 dollars and the ones with meat and seafood will be the low 10s…but these were pretty expensive. Anyways, I won’t be going back, bad service and bland food…

It's hot and i'm pregnant...have not gone exploring for new sweets in a long time...what is new in bakeries, sweets shops, chocolatiers, etc?

I've seen this truck a couple of times before i finally decided to give it a try..the Palenque Food Truck..i ordered the corn arepa with chicken and a side of yuca frita. It took forever for them to get my yuca, not sure why, since all you have to do is fry them to give them crunch and color since they are already blanched. The yuca had the middle strings which made it difficult to eat and it was not seasoned.

The arepa, which i'm not sure (and someone please let me know) it is not like the ones i've had before...i've eaten Venezuelan arepas, not sure if these are different..but it was a hard yellow corn shell, which they serve in a plate open face with the toppings...i had 3 sauces, i green chimichurri like one, avocado and a orange one....all i could taste was the green one and it was very herby and not very good. They serve this on a plate with a plastic fork and knife and it was very difficult to eat and not very tasty..i ended up dumping most of it....

I need a suggestion on a place to eat in North Dallas. In the past, we have had these dinners at Central 214, Texas de Brazil and the Grand Luxe and would like a new suggestion. Price similar to these places and we need space for around 10 - 15 people.

I need a suggestion on a place to eat 10 minutes away from 2050 Chenault Drive, Carrollton, TX 75006. In the past, we have had these dinners at Central 214, Texas de Brazil and the Grand Luxe and would like a new suggestion. Price similar to these places and we need space for around 10 - 15 people.

We are tired of Buttercup bakery and need to switch up the office cake for birthday's and goodbyes...any suggestions for a cake in the neighborhood (we are at 51st and Lex) or a short 6 train ride away? Are budget is no more than $30 with taxes...thanks.

and how is Ma Peche price wise? Let's see we share a whole bunch of apps?

Hi, i have a foodie friend visiting this weekend and i'm looking for a midtown foodie restaurant for an early dinner. Ideally, somewhere between Central Park South, 51st Street and the middle of Times Square and maybe not lower than Grand Central. I know this doesn't leave for many choices but because of luggage, etc logistics this is the area we have to work with.

I made a reservation for Ma Peche thinking maybe we could eat only apps but i'm not sure if that will work...any suggestion, we don't want to spend more than $50 per person with/without tax/tip. Food wise, i'm leaning more towards asian flavors but it doesn't really matter, we need a good a meal that you can only get in NYC.

Thanks but no..i'm basically dragging my husband on this trip...need to make things easy for him.

NYC...going shopping in the area.

How about an early dinner?

Also, preferable in the Washington St. vicinity...

Taking a day trip with my husband...looking for some good food, nothing too fancy not too expensive. Any suggestions?

Tax not tip...May 14..Saturday.

My foodie friend is coming to visit and i want to take her to dinner in a great place, with great ambiance, great food and about $75 a person with a drink (tops). I have reservations at Prune and Perilla, I made a tentative res at Ma Pache but i think it will be too expensive (how $$$ is ma peche?)...any suggestions?

Well, the truth is, I NEVER COMPLAIN, at restaurants, services, etc. Not my style, i just take note and don't go back...it just bothered me so much that it was one thing on top of the other that was going wrong that day.

Huhh...went to this place (because five guys burger was packed!) and it was horrible! The service was so bad, the waitress was laughing at something else while taking our order, the soda was flat and then she came back, apologized because she was distracted and wanted to verify my order, which she had incorrect. I had ordered the chicken fried steak, i got fried chicken instead and then got charged for roast beef which was more expensive and food wasn't even good...it tasted like chain restaurant food straight from the pantry at Costco!

I'm landing in Barcelona at 6 am and i'm planning in making La Boqueria my first stop...places like Pinotxo, open at 6 am...what do they serve at that time?

Ok, so i'm ashamed to say, Ophra inspired me to try going vegan...at least Monday to Friday. As much of it hurts me to do it, because i do love the cow, pig and chicken, because popping pills is not a good thing....what grocery store has the best vegan selection? and not only the best, the most affordable.

Back in the 1800's Panama, Colombia and Venezuela were part of the Republic of New Granada...our tortillas (that's what they are called) are similar to the arepas, but are very crunchy....

I saw that Groupon is selling gift certificates for this bakery/restaurant in City Island. Being that I live nearby and i'm a chowhounder, I always get excited when there is something new and hopefully good in the Bronx. Anybody been? What are your thoughts?

Last Sunday i made a braised beef chuck with porcinis and polenta and a peanut butter and banana cream pie...this weekend i'm not sure what winter comfort food i should make...lasagna and sticky buns maybe? Give me ideas please!

I loved Mo Gridders in the Bronx but i think they are doing the State Fair Circuit and don't know when they will be back...

We are getting married next Wednesday and we wanted to grab some chow after the ceremony. It's only going to be 5 of us, nothing fancy but just good food. Since we don't know how long it's going to take (to eat breakfast, to eat lunch, brunch on a Wednesday?) please give me some advice. We are open to any type of food (italian, indian, mexican, spanish, etc).

I saw this new restaurant yesterday, has anybody been? How was the food?

i thought about southern/bbq but he's visiting my brother in NC right now and they are having bbq tomorrow....
