We'll be staying at the Millennium Bailey's and I was wondering if any one had any recommendations for the above - I'm especially interested in an Indian place with some serious vindaloo. I've also heard that there is some very good Lebanese food in London.

Thanks!

We make it out to SF every year to visit family in Sacramento. We always go to Tadich and we like the Slanted Door.

We're visiting for the holidays - two adults and one foodie 8-year-old - and wondering if there are any new must go to places. We're staying in Union Square, but are happy to travel to other neighborhoods. I know there are some good places in the Mission. We're OK on splurge restaurants, but also are interested in local hangouts.

We will be staying at the Royal York and we don't have a car.

Yeah - looking for the chopping stuff. Recommendation?

We'll be visiting from NY. What are the must go-to Chinese restaurants and dim sum places. Also, looking for a recommendation for a Japanese steak house.

PS - we won't have a car, but are very comfortable with public transportation. (We're from NY.)

We're staying at the Fairmont Hotel (not sure of the exact location) and we won't have a car. We love French food, Asian. . . up for anything really. We'll probably want to have at least one really blowout meal.

My husband, 6-year-old daughter, and I will be visiting Montreal for the first time and are wondering where we need to eat. The 6-year-old is a good eater and patient even with long meals (usually lunches) - as long as there is promise of a playground afterwards. Any suggestions - both high-end and low-end - would be appreciated.

Vanderbilt and what street?

There's a newish Moroccan place on the corner of Lincoln and Fifth Avenue. They don't have their liquor license yet, and I think the food and atmosphere is pretty great. We've been there for brunch and dinner.

My husband had the lamb and prune tagine and it was great. And - if you have kids - the chicken skewers, while not cheap, are a crowd pleaser. (Actually the chicken skewers comes with a huge salad, which my 4-year-old wouldn't touch. Next time I'll get her the skewers and have the salad as my appetiser. Then the price will be right!)

It's on 5th Avenue and Lincoln. We ate there last night and it was really wonderful. The portions were so huge that I had half of my cous-cous royale (chicken, lamb, merquez sausage) for lunch today. They don't have their liquor license yet, so rush on over while you still can bring your own booze. It's really lovely in the restaurant and the staff couldn't be nicer.

I actually think the chicken from the Keyfood on Flatbush near 7th Avenue is pretty darn good - with crispy skin!

I know this is insane, but I can't boil an egg to save my life. The shell always sticks. (It actually seems like the membrane-like thing beneath the skin is sticking.) I've looked at cookbooks; tried white eggs vs. brown; tried simmering vs. covering in boiling water. To no avail.

Help!

Going there this Saturday. Where do you eat?!?

Thanks,

Jen

(Never mind; I see it's in the original post.)

Where is this located?

Do you know how far up Eastern Parkway you have to go? I'm coming from Park Slope.

Does anyone know the food deal for the parade?

Yes, yes, yes! The gelato at Tempo Presto is fabulous. I had a watermelon one the other day and it was out of this world. I'm guessing they make them there.

I was sure that Union Market would carry it, but they don't!

It seems like frisee wouldn't be so hard to come by. Any suggestions? I'm not a memeber of the coop. Also, in general, the state of greens really seems to be on the decline in the neighborhood. Everything seems so soggy.

Thanks,

Jen

I love, love, love! Grocery (Smith Street) and I think it's really romantic.

Scottadito (spelling?) on Union between 7th and 6th has unlimited mamosas with brunch (maybe bloody mary's, too). I think the brunch is like 12 bucks and I think the food is pretty tasty - espcially the pasta with cow cheeks!
