This is kind of a shot in the dark but . . . if anyone wants to share a Parmagolosa tour in Parma, Italy on Friday, November 27, 2009, my husband and I have room for 2 more people.
Celebrate Thanksgiving, Italy-style!!

Hi Sockster! I just booked my flight. Planning to go to the fair on 11/29 and would love your advice after you attend. What fun!

San Miniato Truffle Fair

Hi! I'm in NYC/Boston and I'm hoping to go this weekend! I hope someone posts some good ideas!

New (last 3 yrs) noteworthy places?

YOMA! I love this place!

Ten best things to eat in Boston

Yes! I agree! YOMA is my most favorite restaurant in Boston! I love the cook, Thawdar!

Chow-worthy places near Princeton, NJ?

Another rave for:
Olives (good lunch menu - takeout)
Tre Piani and Tre Bar!

Little Q Hot Pot

I love this restaurant! I've had hot pot in both NYC and Canada and this place is my favorite.
The staff is soo nice!! (kind of a rarity in Chinese / Taiwanese restaurants)

Shanghai Gate

I do not recommend going here. I'm 5th generation Chinese and have never been so disappointed. The fried tofu tasted like it was fried in old, dirty oil and they drizzled some sort of strawberry sauce on it. The soup dumplings had no soup inside. Rice was cold. We ended up canceling the rest of our order in fear of the worst.
It didn't help that the wait staff was either sleeping, eating/spitting sunflower seeds or reading the newspaper, and the cook was using one of the dining tables to do his taxes.
