Coming to NYC on New Year's Eve - Crazy, need help

Danji is in that area (52nd street) and is great for both lunch and dinner. Not sure if it will be open on NYE though.

Yummy Noodle or Ah Wah for Claypot?

Is Noodle Village good for Chinese casserole dishes? I read some reviews and no one had mentioned casseroles.

Thanks

Yummy Noodle or Ah Wah for Claypot?

I was so excited to try Ah Wah for Claypot until I read the downhill alert posts on this board. Now I'm wondering if I should go to Yummy Noodle or Ah Wah for Claypot? Is Ah Way still on downhill alert?

Can I get La Saltena empanada dough anywhere in or near Park Slope?

I know you specified La Saltena but you can get Goya empanada wrappers in most larger grocery stores in Park Slope.

Looking for restaurants with organic & biodynamic wine lists

I'm looking for restaurants with organic &/or biodynamic wine lists. I know Balaboosta has one but what are some others. At this point, I'm not sure what food I want so that's not a criteria right now. Prefer restaurants below midtown.

Thanks!

Cheap/moderate restaurants near Park Slope?

Al Di La is an amazing Italian restaurant but not necessarily new/hip. It's not quiet either so that may be a choice. Otherwise how about Sidecar or Thistle Hill Tavern

Breakfast in Colorado Springs

I will be in the Rockrimmon area of Colorado Springs and am looking for good breakfast suggestions in the area.

If you have recs for restaurants in general in this area, that would be welcome too!

Thanks

Looking for an excellent tuna burger and fries

I will be in DC in May and am looking for a restaurant with a great vibe, wine, and tuna burger and fries. Specific request, I know. I was looking at Central bt may not be able to get a reservation there so need other options as well. In Georgetown or walking distance from Mall area.

Thanks

Lunch or dinner recs needed for Tuxedo, NY

Where is a good place to have either lunch or dinner in Tuxedo, NY.

What to order at Szechuan Gourmet

What are your favorite dishes at Szechuan Gourmet? Also, do the people at the restaurant know English well. I am allergic to peanuts and need to be able to communicate that effectively.

Thanks.

Dinner suggestions for before traveling

What do you make for dinner the night before an early flight and when you don't want any leftovers because you will be away for more than a week? The last home cooked meal should be a satisfying one ;-)

Reasonable and excellent sushi recs needed

OK, you've convinced me. I am springing for Shiro's!

Reasonable and excellent sushi recs needed

Thanks for the recs. It seems that Red Fin is even more expensive than Shiro. Am I reading the menu correctly?

Reasonable and excellent sushi recs needed

I will be in Seattle for one night and staying at the Marriott downtown (no car). I need recs for excellent, reasonable sushi in that area; thinking more neighborhood type restaurant frequented by locals rather than a 'special-occasion' place.

A Single Pebble question

Does A Single Pebble have a wine and beer list? I didn't see one on their site.

Thanks

Eel Day 7/26/10 - any special eel menus?

Thanks! I wish I could justify Bar Masa - the picture on flickr looks so good and is definitely homemade unagi donburi as opposed to the frozen unagi I get at the japansese store (and many restaurants).

Eel Day 7/26/10 - any special eel menus?

According to Mitsuwa Monday 7/26 is Eel Day. Are there any Japanese restaurants with special Eel Day menus?

World Cup restaurants/bars

Just came back from Sheep Station for the Brazil vs Ivory Coast Game. It was a lot of fun, good crowd. HIghly recommend.

Dinner party ideas?

What are your usual go-to dishes? I would lean towards a middle eastern menu; pita bread, dips, various kebabs, fatoosh salad.

World Cup restaurants/bars

I've been to Woodwork before and love it but unfortunately they have advised against bringing kids on the weekends, during the World Cup. They are also requiring reservations and advanced payment for weekends.

A place to have breakfast and watch the world cup on a sunday in midtown?

NYTimes just posted an article about some restaurants televising the games.

World Cup restaurants/bars

Would like to start a list of restaurants/bars to watch the World Cup in Brooklyn, preferably with good food and a family friendly atmosphere.

I believe Chip Shop is televising the Cup but I haven't been able to confirm that. Where else?

Thanks

Shellfish Tower in Brooklyn or Queens?

Blue Ribbon in Park Slope does a shellfish tower.

HELP! Madison Square Park area

Will be in Madison Square park on Friday and need restaurant suggestions in the area. Prefer Japanese and would love outdoor seating although would be interested to hear all recommendations. Not interested in really fancy or expensive restaurants. Also, looking for restaurants closer to 26th than lower park area.

Thanks in advance. This area has me stumped!

What to order at Locanda Verde?

Hi going to LV for the first time this weekend and wondering if there were any not-to-miss items. Also wine suggestions would be appreciated as well. Love pinot noirs that are spicy and light.

Thanks!

Magnolia Bakery Midtown - what was there before

It was a restaurant owned by Citarella but I can't remember if the name of the restaurant was Citarella.

Best restaurants in Chelsea

Izakaya Ten is fantastic.

Has Helios gone out of business?

Tried calling a few weeks back and never got an answer. I don't live near enough to just walk by and find out for myself. Thanks

Dinner tonight - Barrio or Los Pollitos

Looking to enjoy possibly the last night of the season to eat outdoors and have settled on Mexican food. Which do you think serves better food, Barrio or Los Pollitos or stay away from both? Unfortunately Fonda is too far away for me to consider for a school night.

Thanks
