In Buffalo for honeymoon
Me and my SO will be in Buffalo next week for 3-4 days for our honeymoon. I am looking for some good recommendations on things to do, and places to eat. I think we want to maybe go to a couple of the places that have been featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. We were also thinking about Anchor Bar. Anybody have any input on that, or any other suggestions? Could range anything from a dive, to fine dining.
Also is there a decent place to eat near HSBC arena? We will be at a Sabres game Mon night.
Restaurant for event of 15 people
I am looking for a good restaurant were I might be able to get a room for 1.5-2 hours for an event for about 15 people. I am trying to stay reasonable on price ($500?) and I would prefer it to NOT be IN DC. Near DC is fine, in DC is not the best for me. This event would be on a Sunday evening.
Anybody have a suggestion?
Dinner suggestion and parking question about Steves
I have 2 questions.
The first is I am looking for a dinner suggestion around the Philadelphia area, as I will be passing through coming south from Allentown. I am hoping for a place not too pricey (not more then $25/person) and the important part is there need to be easy parking nearby.
The second question is this - I know there are 2 Steve's Prince of Steaks locations in Philly, is one better then the other, and is one easier to park at. Thanks for the help.
Lunch/Brunch on Sunday in DC
I am looking for a good Lunch/Brunch recommendation in DC. It will be Sunday sometime noon-1ish. It will need to be near a metro stop, cost is not an issue, but it needs to be a place where casual dress is fine. If it is somewhere on the red line that is a bonus, as I will need to be at Gallery Place by 3pm.
I know Clyde's is right there at Gallery Place, but their brunch is somewhat boring. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
(Sorry posting from phone, hard to search)
Food in Fredericksburg
This coming weekend I will be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fredericksburg (which is at 1060 Hospitality Lane) and will be looking for a few suggestions of where to eat. Am looking for 2 places nearby (hopefully within 3 miles or so), one would be a place where you can drink, be somewhat loud, and be able to get decent food. Should be casual, and could be standard American/pub fare as long as it is GOOD. The other should be a little more upscale, maybe a place to get some drinks and a steak, not to expensive but maybe in the $20-$35 range for a piece of meat.
Of course these places shouldn't be major commercial chains, and if you have any other good ideas for me (even if not exactly meeting the criteria above), please let me know! Always on the lookout for good food.
Thanks in advance!
Best burger inside the beltway in Virginia
Ray's Hell burger is by FAR your best bet. You are lucky enough to already be in Arlington (I drive from 40 min North to eat here, somewhat regularly) and they have an amazing burger, and an excellent compliment of free toppings.
Verizon Center area
Looking for a good suggestion, any kind of food, that is relativley inexpesive (less then $15/person) and perhaps has beer? Somewhere near the Verizon Center. Thanks.
MD suburbs good, cheap eats
On Snouffer School road used to be called Vasili's, now called Mythos. Owner moved to Kentlands and opened a new Vasili's (also good, but a bit more expensive, and more expansive menu) and the original chef (Nick I believe?) stayed at the original location and renamed it. I've loved it for a long time. Best tzatziki I've ever had.
MD suburbs good, cheap eats
Looking for delicious, inexpensive, perhaps family owned, and definitely homemade non-chain restaurants in the MD suburbs (I live in Gtown, but anything is good. If you think of something in DC or NoVA I wouldn't mind hearing about it either).
I'm thinking something ala Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, although doesn't have to fit that category (aka it can be clean :P) as long as it is inexpensive (~$15or less for an entree).
The only place I can come up with is a family owned Greek place in Gaithersburg. Any help appreciated.
Any good tea shops in the area?
The closer to Gaithersburg/Rockville the better, but any suggestion is good. Looking for anywhere I can buy high quality leaf green tea.
Looking for authentic Korean food in Gtown/Gburg/Rockville
Well I don't know anything about it, but he assures me that at least where he was living in Korea, sushi was considered Japanese only.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Ray's the Steak, details?
As other posters mentioned, you need to put your name on the list in advance, and they can take your cell phone number and call you when a table is ready. We usually put our name down, then walk a block up to a bar (Rhodeside Grill I think?) and enjoy a drink or two while waiting.
The Sherried Crab Bisque is a must. Amazing. Pretty much anything on the dessert menu is also excellent (be aware the key lime pie is tart, not sweet). I have never had a bad steak there either, and I would never order over medium-rare (personal preference) as the meat is such high quality.
Looking for authentic Korean food in Gtown/Gburg/Rockville
My friend is back from a tour in Korea, and after only a week he already craves Korean food. I am in search of a place serving authentic Korean food (No place that serves sushi, he assures me Koreans would never eat sushi) to take him to before he leaves town. Any thing in mid-North Montgomery County is fine, I would even consider going to Bethesda or Silver Spring. Thanks in advance!
Looking for great food in Hershey, Allentown, or Newark NJ
I know it sounds crazy, but I have a hockey filled weekend going to Hershey for a game sun evening, and Newark NJ for a game Mon night. Looking for great food in either destination (or somewhere in between, like Allentown) to have something to do on Sun Eve/Mon daytime. Prefer something not overly pricey, and also something casual. Any suggestions welcome!!
Pork chops... not so much chops
Sorry, upon rereading I was very vague. I bought pork chops, but cut the bones out of them (I saved them, will use for stock or something similar) but as the chops were sort of thin to start with I made a bit of a mess of them (I'm new to this).
So I was looking for ideas for cut up pork chops other than traditional stir fry, maybe in some sort of casserole or otherwise baked dish?
Pork chops... not so much chops
Looking for a couple recipes for pork chops that are not so much chops any more, would more likely be chopped/cubed. Almost all recipes I have are for actual chops, not the same meat in a different form. Looking for something that would work well.
Nice place for 2
I need a recommendation for a nice place to eat for 2, that is known for good seafood, but has other offerings as well. Price isn't important, it's for an occasion, Any ideas welcome.
