I'm headed to Aspen to take in the last week of ski season yet it's been years since I heave been there. Any reccomendations on great places to eat in town? What about a nice Easter Sunday Brunch?

Many thanks!

Dear Chowhounders,

Any suggestions for fun restaurants/bars to visit nearby the Washington Nationals ballpark prior to an evening game?

Many thanks!

Any sugguestions for an affordable cooking class in Venice or within an hour outside of the city?

Any suggestions for educational wine experiences for the wine novice in the DC/NoVa area?

Restaurant Eve in Old Town Alexandria. Had it this past Friday and it was amazing,

Dusty's Cellar in Okemos is your best bet. Wonderful food and wine. I grew up in East Lansing and always have at least one meal there when I am home.

I have lost my recipe for a wonderful field green salad that includes halloum (a salty, Middle Eastern cheese) and has a wonderful tarragon dressing. Can anyone help or perhaps suggest an alternative with halloum?

Agree with Coney Islands (Chili Cheese fries especially) and Vernors....yet would like to add Chipatis from Ann Arbor to the list. Anyone who went to school at University of Michigan in the last 20 years knows about these babies....HUGE salads in a bread bowl. Looks like a giant pita with great, spicy Chapati sauce. Check em out at Pizza House in A2. http://www.pizzahouse.com/

CityZen by far is the best. An elegant, trendy affair!

Mie n Yu is extending their menu....

Bistro du Coin is great! Authentic and welcome to families!

I'm headed to NYC for the weekend from DC and am looking for a great bar or restaurant to sit for possibly hours, drink, nosh and people watch. Somewhere in NYC that is not a tourist place, but rather embodies New York and allows my friend and I to have nice, casual conversation with a knowledgeable bartender without feeling like we're being hurried. I'll be there for the weekend, so the dynamic may change. Any suggestions???

Thanks!
