Thanks. Really looking forward to eating there. Maybe will just stop on way from airport. We usually just wing it the first night in town.

Suggested time of arrival at Green Goddess

Will be arriving in NOLA on a Thursday mid afternoon. Planning for Green Goddess as first dinner of this trip. What is the suggested time of arrival for party of 2? I was thinking of stopping there before checking into hotel to get names on dinner list. Good idea? Not necessary? Also, would love to hear favorite foods to order!

Commander's Palace or Gautreaus?

After reading your reply and previous postings, think I'll be making reservations at CP. Thanks!

Commander's Palace or Gautreaus?

Planning food experience for Nola, in February- post Mardi Gras. Will be in town Thurs - Sunday. Hope to get into Green Goddess Thurs evening as soon as plane touches down. Brigsten's is on wishlist for Friday. Not sure about Saturday dinner. Contemplating CP, it's been several years and visits to NOLA that we have dined at CP, or should we try Gautreaus?

Charlottesville sandwich takeout. Post camp dinner.

Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions. Just got back from Charlottesville. What a great city, university and dining options! Actually made it to several of your suggestions- Bodo's Bagels, Little John's, Food of All Nations, and Baja Beans (great marg's!!!). Boys were happy and full (for a while anyway!). Moms happy (esp after the marg's) when the boys are happy!

Colorado Springs rehearsal dinner alternate

Thanks! Can't wait to try Phantom Ranch! And, I love bread pudding- of course! Hate to miss the homemade cheese at Pizzeria Rustica- might have to try there for lunch! I really appreciate your recommendations!

Colorado Springs rehearsal dinner alternate

Going to a wedding in Colorado Springs this week. Since I'm not invited to the rehearsal dinner (!) , looking for alternate dinner plans for myself and niece (legal drinking age) . Good food, reasonably priced. I've been to Co Springs, but niece hasn't, so a nice place with a "local feel" would be great! Or just great food that shouldn't be missed?

Scarpetta, Convivio, Alto ? Rec's for a nice Italian dinner in Manhatten in November?

A great plate of spaghetti is never boring- not to me anyway! Thanks.

OK. You reeled me in. Spaghetti w/ tomatoes and basil , olive oil cake and a nice glass wine sounds like dinner to me! But, the carmelized fennel is going to be hard to pass up! Thanks! (The spaghetti has been mentioned in other replies as well!)

Thanks! I also checked their sister rest, Etcetera Etcetera. I like their menu better. What are your thoughts on Etc Etc? I'll travel for food. It's the martini's I want close by!

Will be in for a long weekend in November. Staying in mid-Manhatten. Looking forward to a nice Italian dinner first night. A martini bar (located somewhere around 52nd to 56th streets- near Le Parker Meridien ) would also make us happy!
