My 10 year old nephew is on a gluten-free diet, and my sister-in-law has had a hard time finding a restaurant that has gf items on the menu for their upcoming trip to Cooperstown. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

I am meeting a friend for dinner, she's coming out to NJ from the city and we want to meet somewhere close to (or on?) route 4 so it's easy for her. Nothing too $$ (entrees under 25), any cuisine except Indian is fine. Thanks for any suggestions.

I will be in Cold Spring, NY for a much-needed weekend away with my husband next month. Would love some lunch and dinner recommendations in that area - nothing too, too pricey, but one nicer dinner would be great (we are staying at a b&b so breakfast is covered). We will be driving from NJ on Friday afternoon, so that night can be casual; Saturday is our anniversary, so that would be the nicer dinner. Any help much appreciated. We prefer continental/American cuisine but anything great is fine. We love hole-in-the-wall type places, too (my husband calls them "joints") - as long as the food is great, it doesn't have to be fancy.

Also, can anyone recommend things to do in the area, including a public golf course where we can play a round on Saturday? We are also planning on going to Dia:Beacon...any other places to see in the vicinity? Thanks for any ideas!

4 adults, 3 small kids, sunday (tom'w) dinner in montclair. any recommendations for someplace not too expensive that doesn't mind the chaos of small children? i've been to raymond's for brunch and liked it, but never dinner - good choice? is it super-crowded for dinner like it is brunch-time? any other places to recommend along those lines? thanks!!

looking for a place in or near westfield to meet a friend for breakfast next week. something a notch above a diner, but not too pricey. thanks for any recommendations.

Looking for a fun place for dinner in the Long Branch area for this Saturday night. No need for a scene (two friends, both happily married!), but want good food and a fun atmosphere. Not too pricey (entrees under $25 or so) preferred. Any cuisine except Indian, although we prefer American/Continental, seafood or Mexican/Latino Nuevo. Thanks for any recommendations!

I would like to have a meal delivered to an ill friend and her family. Can anyone recommend a caterer or restaurant in the Chappaqua area who could provide (and deliver) to her house? I would prefer not to spend a small fortune - maybe a tray of baked ziti, salad, bread, dessert, etc.? (Needs to be kid-friendly.) Thanks for any recommendations, I am not from the area.

Looking for a few recommendations for dinner in Westfield or vicinity. Would prefer byo and entrees under $25...any cuisine except Indian but would prefer Italian, Latino or American over Asian. Thanks for any recs.

Looking for a place to have lunch with my kids near the Morris Museum this Saturday. Any recommendations welcome. I'm not opposed to a Chili's-type of chain if no other good options but I always prefer something more local if possible. Thanks!!

Going to the Clearview Cinemas on Pascack Road in Washington Township (Bergen County) this weekend. Can anyone recommend somewhere casual to get a bite beforehand? Any cuisine except Indian would be fine, nothing too $$. Thanks.

We are going to Great Wolf Lodge in Scotrun, PA (Poconos) next week with 3 other families. I've heard the food at GWL is pricey and not good so looking for family-friendly dinner recommendations close to the lodge that can accommodate a big group. Not opposed to Chili's or similar type of chain. Thanks for any recommendations.

I'm taking my daughter to the Children's Museum of Art on Charlton Street (Hudson is the cross street) in West SoHo this weekend. Looking for casual, kid-friendly and not too $ lunch spots in that area. Any recommendations appreciated; any cuisine except Indian is fine. Thanks!

Thanks, all. We wound up going to pimaan, in emerson. Very tasty. It was crowded, too - always a good sign.

What's your favorite Thai restaurant in Bergen County? Bonus points for BYO. Thanks!

thanks! they got a nice write-up in 201 magazine recently. do you think they have some good vegetarian options?

What are your favorite inexpensive (entrees under $20) restaurants in Bergen County? We are on a budget - we have young kids and need to hire a sitter for "date night," so my husband and I are looking for some new ideas that don't cost a ton.

What's your favorite "joint" to eat at? Favorite hole-in-the-wall? Would prefer places with some vegetarian options (husband eats no beef or poultry, will eat fish) and not Asian/Indian - mediterranean is okay. Any tapas places? French bistros that don't cost a fortune? As an example, we love Janice a Bistro in Ho Ho Kus, but it's too $$ for us right now. Pubs are fine, as long as there's more than burgers on the menu. Love BYO places. Thanks!!

I will be in Lake George in a few weeks with my husband and two young kids (3 and 6 y/o). Would appreciate any family-friendly restaurant recommendations, along with any other ideas for things to do in the area - best mini golf, amusement park, arcade, ice cream, etc.; also, any ideas for indoor activities would be great (ie children's museum, etc). Thank you in advance!

looking for some recommendations for saturday brunch in rockland county - would prefer suffern, airmont, monsey area. kid-friendly is preferred for my 2 and 5 y/o's. thanks!

I forgot to add that we won't have a car, so walkable from the Sheraton (in the rain?) is preferred.

Quick trip to Raleigh this weekend...any lunch recommendations near the Raleigh Sheraton? Something cute, not too $$ and a few vegetarian options for the husband would be great. We like quaint, tucked-away, non-touristy spots if possible. Thanks!

this place got a nice review in a local newspaper, wondering if anyone's been there - feedback welcome, thanks.

going pumpkin picking at farmsview this wknd. would love a recommendation for a family-friendly restaurant in wayne or the vicinity. thanks!

anyone have feedback on the new red hen bistro in wood-ridge, nj? looks cute, wondering how it measures up. thanks...

anyone been to kevin's thyme in ho ho kus (bergen county)? looks cute but the menu on their website has no prices (which always makes me a little nervous) - what's the average dinner entree price? thanks.

sorry, i should have mentioned that i'm looking for a dinner recommendation, for after the museum. sono bakery closes at 4 on sundays. thanks for the info - any other ideas?

i'd love a recommendation for a family-friendly restaurant in south norwalk. taking the family to stepping stones museum, looking for somewhere to eat nearby afterward (on a sunday, if that matters). thanks!

Just wanted to thank whoever it was who recommended D. Rodriguez Cuba in South Beach. I had a lovely meal there with my husband and his parents on our trip last week. Fantastic food, the outdoor courtyard was lovely, my drink was great and our waiter was terrific. Great recommendation!

I would love a recommendation for a nice restaurant in northern Westchester county to send my brother and sister-in-law as a thank you. They're not adventurous eaters (think American/Continental cuisine, no Asian), and not big drinkers either (maybe 1 glass of wine or beer each). Would like to keep it to $100 total, including tip. Any recommendations most appreciated - someone mentioned Bistro 22 in Bedford. Anyone been there? I don't think Crabtree Kittle House is in our budget. Thanks for any feedback!!
