Wegmans to Open on Sunday, 16 October
So...is Wegman's that good...or just another high end super grocer? How does Whole Foods in Dedham compare?
Midtown Sushi - NYC
I'm coming to town next week and would like to dine in an upscale sushi restaurant...I'm bringing my wife who likes Japanese inspired dishes but not a lot of sushi...and my 16 year old son who has quite an appetite (so I don't want smaller portions)....
I'm a CH from Boston....Any help? Thank you in advance!
3 Nights in Manhattan
Haven't been to Manhattan in 2 years...I have 3 nights...want to do steak, italian, and something else with wife, myself, and 16 year old...

The New Del Frisco's
I went last week with the wife...definitely, a guy's night out place...it's a scene with the female waitstaff dressed like they are in Vegas...steaks OK, sides weak, drinks very good, NY prices...very loud room...after the novelty wears off, will be just another chain, steakhouse.
Going back to Grill 23, my mainstay for 20 years...Jason and staff are still the ones to knock off in Boston!

First Visit to Austin
Coming in a few weeks with my wife. We are staying at the Four Seasons. Have never been, but love Texas and the people having been to other parts of your state.
A quick question...I need 3 recommendations for top notch recommendations for dinner. Not looking for the local BBQ which we will hit for lunch, but for the best 4 star restaurants in town.
Thank you in advance!
Best Dishes in Chinatown
Anyone want to take a whack at this? I know there have been lots of posts on Chinatown...but how about one thread comprising the best in Chinatown?
Island Creek Oyster Bar--best place in the whole world!
Going this weekend...what are the "must get" dishes...wife doesn't like oysters...but she likes other seafood...
Best Restaurant in Orlando
Coming down for the holidays...particularily interested in high-end Italian...no Disney
restaurants as I'm staying there...and want to get away for one night...
On the other hand, if you've got recommendations for Disney, I'll take them too as there are only so many character dinners I can do.
Thanks in advance!
Best Sushi in MetroWest
yes...thank you...i was talking about the sudbury locations...and have been to AKA ...and I would honestly say...good, not great...and expensive...
Best Sushi in MetroWest
Looking for a new place tonight...Oishi is our usual place...sometimes Fugakyu...but would really like to try a new, outstanding place...a full-bar would be a plus

Branchburg/Bridgewater Area
No...actually going next weekend...thanks for your help...
30th anniversary. Within half hour of Acton.
Been to both AKA and Gibbett Hill...both good, not great...AKA is OK...a little busy...but good if you want french and sashimi...Gibbett Hill is good for a mid-upper priced steakhouse...full bar....AKA has beer and wine...
How about the Stonehedge Inn in Tyngsboro...definitely a cut above for an anniversary...

We're coming out to the CABA World Series which is held in McHenry and Crystal Lake areas at the end of July.
Can someone help me with some recommendations. Looking for a couple of high-end choices (Morton's Steakhouse, etc?)
and some family friendly choices?
How about some decent hotels?
Thank you in advance!
Prestige wine search
Ok...I've been into wine for about 25 years...if you are serious...go see Len at Federal Street Wines...he's forgotten more about Burgundy than most people know...if you want Italian, talk to Peter there...very knowledgable...great guys...if you are willing to get into a cab and travel 10 miles down the MassPike, go see Tom Smeizer at Marty's in Newton...the best and very knowledgable about many wines...I know both of these establishments for about 20 years...
