New to SD, have friends visiting and NEED HELP!

Thanks everyone for the responses. I live across the street from Bar Basic and haven't tried the food so maybe we'll try that. Went to Neighborhood my first weekend here and loved the place itself, great beers and cool atmosphere but I thought the food was OK. Maybe it was just what I got though. Cafe Chloe looks great but essentially no vegetarian options. So if I open it up to areas close to downtown where we could take a cab (I know that's not the norm here but I'm slowly trying to adjust) what would you suggest?

Thanks for the reply but seafood a no go. Any other thoughts in this area? I've found a lot of restaurants that sound great but are not downtown...

New to SD, have friends visiting and NEED HELP!

I recently moved to SD from Chicago and have friends visiting this weekend. I am looking for restaurant recs for Saturday night in the east village/gaslamp area (I live in the east village and would love to walk somewhere). Specifically, we're in the mood for Californian cuisine/contemporary american and Italian. 2 of the 4 diners are vegetarian--but that doesn't mean we have to go to a vegetarian restaurant. Just no steakhouses. Have already heard about JSix and Cafe Chloe. Any other recs? Please help!

NYC Girls Weekend

My girlfriends and I are getting together this weekend in NYC and I'm in desparate need of restaurant and bar/lounge suggestions.

Looking for the following:

1. Saturday brunch:
- Something reasonably close to Union Square. No real mandatories here aside from delicious food.

2. Saturday night dinner:
- Open to any neighborhood for dinner that has good bars/lounges we could easily get to afterwards.
- We love all types of cuisines, especialy Italian, Contemporary American, Thai, Asian fusion. Need at least one vegetarian option and moderate price range (approx $50 incl a drink or two?)

3. Sunday brunch/lunch (downtown area):
- Meeting friends around 12pm, so preferably a place that takes reservations or one that won't have a ridiculous wait
- Want to have really good food (not to be obnoxious but I'm from Chicago and my friends from NYC say the food is better so I'm expecting great food!)

Thanks!
