One vegetarian lunch in Tokyo, easy metro access

Hi. I have a long layover at Narita. I'd like to go into Tokyo, have lunch and spend maybe an hour walking around. I've never been there and don't speak a word of Japanese so easy navigation is a premium. I'm strictly vegetarian - no fish, eggs are ok. I'm fine spending money for a quality place. Where should I go?

Flying to Singapore

I'm flying United from IAD to Tokyo and then on to Signapore, business class. Will the airline-provided kosher meals be edible or should I just bring my own food?

Also - according to the web I can only find one kosher place in Singapore. Is there anywhere other than Awafi?

Halva in Jerusalem

Two years ago there were many people selling halva in machane yehuda. Now I can only find one stand and their product is so-so. What happened? And where can I find the good stuff now? Thanks and chag sameach from a kitnyot-eating hound.

Vegetarian in Basel

I would welcome any suggestions for vegetarian friendly places in Basel say up to 50 dollars per person without wine. I don't eat fish. I'm staying near the train station. I already ate the yummy mushroom stew in Marketplatz. Thanks!

Mold on Hanging Salamis

I hung a couple of salamis up to turn soft salami into hard salami. Foolishly, I had a couple of them touching. After a week, I noticed some white mold growing on the spots where the salamis were touching. It didn't spread elsewhere, and the mold came off when I washed them. I've re-hung them further apart. Think they are safe to eat?

Tel Aviv

I'll be there the week before Pesach. Where should I eat? I already did a search on the board and nothing much came up. I'm interested in anything but fish, any price level is ok.

Capital City Cheesecake in Takoma Park, MD

I went on Sunday. I think I like the coffee better at Starbucks, but the cheesecake was quite nice. It's not a bad place to sit and read the paper. Oh, and it being Takoma Park, of course you can compost everything!

Chow-Friendly Veggie Hotel on the Beach in Bali or Phuket?

I'm looking for a place that is veggie-friendly (no fish, egg is ok) in Bali or Phuket on the beach. I'm one person, and would prefer a simple eco-lodge place to a super-upscale resort hotel. I'm flexible with regard to price. I'd appreciate any thoughts and recommendations.

Chow-friendly shabat in Southern Europe

I will spend a few days in southern Europe in March on vacation, folded around a work trip. My trip will probably include shabat. My destination is flexible, although I've already spent time in northern Italy and Greece. I'm flexible with regard to cost. What's a good chow-friendly destination where spending shabat would be pleasurable?

Veggie-friendly dinner near Gaithersburg?

Where should I go on Thursday for dinner? I'm open to a variety of price level and up to say a 15 minute drive. It will just be me. I don't eat meat or fish, but eggs are fine. I did a search and the only relevant looking thread that I found was about Burma Road. Any other suggestions?

Bringing food into Mexico

Maybe if you get the meat packed in vaccuum sealed plastic, as many butchers now offer, you'/ll have an easier time getting it in.
