Gift certificate for dinner in Vancouver
Thanks, all. I think we've settled on Aurora Bistro. I only wish I could go there myself!
Gift certificate for dinner in Vancouver
Chowhounds,
Some friends of mine are getting married and moving from the New York City area to Vancouver in a few weeks, and a group of us want to get them a gift certificate for a really fantastic welcome-to-Vancouver dinner.
We're planning to spend about US$200. Any recommendations?? They're into delicious food and they're adventurous eaters, so it doesn't have to be your standard expensive French fare.
Thanks for your help!

What happened to the Grand Central churros?
Hm, that's intriguing. I'll have to look in there. Thanks for the tip!
What happened to the Grand Central churros?
Does anyone know what happened to the churros vendors who used to set up shop in the subway station at Grand Central?
For years I ran into them fairly reliably in the passageway between the 7 train and the 4/5/6 trains, but I haven't seen them for months. I fear they were chased away by cops checking for permits or something like that.
3 churros for a buck, with the grease leaking through the bag, crunchy and sugary... mmm, the perfect afternoon snack. I miss them.
Two Weeks in Worcester - Cheap Eats and Must Eats?
Thanks for all the recs! I'm looking forward to trying some more on this list, especially Banh Mi, Corner Grille, Bamboo Hut, Da Lat, Shiraz and Emilia's.
Also on my list, after scouring some other posts, are the Kenmore, Parkway, Mac's and the Broadway. If only I had more time (and if only it weren't blizzarding every other day!).
Two Weeks in Worcester - Cheap Eats and Must Eats?
I'm a New York writer who's in Worcester for two weeks of research, and I'm am eager to check out the hounding scene here. Anybody have great recommendations for cheap eats, little gems, the best of the local diners, and must-try spots (other than fancy dining -- as I said, I'm a writer and living on a writer's budget....)? Fortunately, I love Vietnamese and Middle Eastern (apparently Worcester's two specialties) and most other ethnic cuisines.
I've already been to Pho Dakao (really good pho, but a little pricey, I thought) and tonite I had two dogs with the works at George's Coney Island (yum... I could've gone for a third). I plan to check out One Love soon, too.
I heard there's a bahn mi place nearby -- anyone know where? And all other recommendations welcome. I have a car and can get out to some of the nearby towns as well if there's something I've gotta try while I'm here.
Thanks!
