London dinner

Staying at the Intercontinental Park Lane and looking for some fun, interesting dining spots around town and don't mind venturing out of neighborhood. Somewhere for 2 young at heart 50 year old jaded New Yorkers who like rock n roll music, good food and a fabulous atmosphere.
Any ideas?

pre theatre

I am following up on my pre theatre dinner last night at The Lambs Club Bar. The crowd was energetic, the bar was crowded, the noise level lively, and overall, a nice looking well-behaved professional after work crowd.
Our table was reserved in the ample seating area near the bar, yet away from the bulk of the crowd.
The bar menu offered a full menu, comfortable sized tables, and the food and drinks were served graciously and promptly. We each ordered an appetizer, burrata and a grilled artichoke, then split the Club burger, which was a perfect medium rare, juicy and flavorful. We loved the art deco design of the space and found it to be a nice grown up place to kick back after work.
The only glitch we experienced was that our first course arrived before our silverware did. Other than that, the staff was attentive, we did not feel rushed, and we had plenty of time to get to the show.
We had to leave before the jazz band started to play but it looked like it would have been a nice addition. We would definitely go back.

pre theatre

Tough to get a last minute res but snagged one at The Lamb's Club Bar. It looks perfect for 2 very tired NY'ers who need a mid-week break.
Thx

Arthur Avenue, Bronx

My husband & I are looking for an outing tomorrow and thought we might go to Sunday Dinner, Italian style in the Arthur Ave. area. Is it worth the trip out of Manhattan? Any ideas or thoughts out there, Hounds?

"Little Gem" Lettuce

Do any Hounds out there know where I can buy some Sucrine aka little gem lettuce? I got hooked on it in CA and now that I'm home, I can't find it.
Farmer's Markets? Grocery Stores?

Need dinner spot for tonight!

Hello Hounds. I am entertaining a guest who will be at the Javitz center during the day and getting a train at Penn to head back tonight to MD.
I'm looking for a great dinner spot on the West side that has a modern, NY atmosphere and fantastic food and service. Nothing touristy. Its going to be hot so we want to limit our commuting. We like a nice bar too.

Tapas in Soho?

I"m taking out a friend for her 50th birthday after work. We'll stop at the Red Lion for Happy Hour, then out for tapas afterward. We want good tapas, somewhere not overrun with skinny jeans and college students, good sangria, and a more adult (but not stuffy) crowd. We want fun and good food on an early Friday evening.

Vegas Caterer

Has Anyone out there used a caterer in the Vegas area? I'm looking for a caterer that can come to my rental home on a Sunday afternoon in October with fabulous food and a bar b que some interesting meats for a group of about 4o family members. We are an Italian/Armenian family and enjoy good Mediteranean meats, cheeses, olives, salads & breads. I'll also need some extra staff to keep the place tidy and to fix drinks. Is it best to contact one of the better restaurants and just have them do it? Any suggestions?

Here's a tough one

Well, I want it to be a real NY experience for our guests & their children so in this context it means , a good vibe, good music, drinks for the adults, and decent food that we can all enjoy that they won't get in MD. We had the whole MD crabbing, preparation, and eating experience at their place on the Chesapeake over the summer so we want to recipricate their hospitality and show them a good time.

Here's a tough one

I'm looking for a family friendly place for us to bring 4 tweens and 2 sets of 40 something parents where we can all enjoy a good dinner, drinks or decent glass of wine and perhaps some live music (that's not rap) or good DJ music that we can all enjoy. Downtown, Chinatown, Village, pub/restaurant? What do you think? Does such a place exist? I'd love your help on this.
