Some good pasta nice but low key Italian restaurant
Looking at Giano in the East Village and Il Buco - haven't been to either - wondered if the chowhounds have and comments on these two places or other recommendations. Price range around $50 to $70 per person.
Restaurants for Dinner by Theatre District
Check of VIce Versa it is great authentic Italian - the pastas are delicious!
What to eat at Faneuil Hall Marketplace
I know this is very touristy but we will probably stop by for the entertainment and want to know if there is some good food on the go while we are visiting this area?
Great food and environment for college visit - fish oriented would be great
Visiting our daughter at Boston University and looking for a fish geared restaurant - great food - great ambiance - how is Trade on the water and Meyers and Chang (I know this is Asian but looked interesting)?? Thanks
Lunch in Soho area
Looking for a fun place for lunch to take our daughter home from college - in between shopping and roaming around NYC - all cuisines except Asian.
Looking to discover TriBeCa restaurants
We enjoyed the restaurant but the waiter made multiple mistakes on the check - charged us for an appetizer never ordered and charged us more for the wine than what was stated on the menu - he made the corrections and when I rechecked the bill he added an addititional entree that was never ordered - otherwise all was good.
Looking to discover TriBeCa restaurants
We are going there on Friday and will let you know what afterwards. Thanks for the detailed list this should keep us busy into the summer!!
Looking to discover TriBeCa restaurants
Looking for all cuisines with variety of price ranges just want to get to know the restaurant scene in the neighborhood. The only place we have been to so far is Tamarind TriBeCa. We have a reservation for Trattoria Cinque next weekend. Thanks
Where to go for breakfast in Boston - Brookline area other than Zaftigs
I think the name was Coolidge Corner - it is right down the road from Zaftigs - since the wait at Zaftigs was so long we opted for this place. Didn't particularly care for the food and the additional charges!
Where to go for breakfast in Boston - Brookline area other than Zaftigs
Our daughter goes to Boston University and we have had two bad breakfast experiences - one place charged extra money for real maple syrup and real fruit on the pancakes and the other place the food was just awful. Any suggestions would be appreciated. We are not limited to Brookline so surrounding neighborhoods would be fine as well.
Ate at Italian restaurant this weekend and they only offered bottled water - sparkling or flat
See above

You named the restaurant!!!! I guess this is well known by the chow hounds!
Ate at Italian restaurant this weekend and they only offered bottled water - sparkling or flat
I wanted to know how the chow hounds would Handle this - the bottle of water was 7 dollars which is not a lot of money but I have never experienced anything like this before - you were not allowed to have NYC tap water!!!!
Need good place for lunch after cooking class in Williamsburg
We would like to roam around the area so any restaurant that allows for walking the streets would be great - any cuisine except sushi would be fine - will be with our daughter and boyfriend both 23 so a bit of a scene would be good and for lunch $20 maximum per person - therefore great pizza, thai, sandwich shop would be great.
Need good place for lunch after cooking class in Williamsburg
Looking for low key reasonably priced place for lunch after a baking class on Saturday - preferably in an area we can walk around since I have not been to this part of Brooklyn for over 20 years.
Narrowing down my choices for one week vacation in Maui
I have changed Hula Grill to Bev Gannons Joe's Bar and Grill closer to Wailea and good reviews by the chowhounds. I have taken off Plantation House, Sea House on the breakfast list and added Cafe @ LaPlage and 808 Bistro again based upon driving time and proximity to Wailea. Can we make it to part of the road to Hana before eating at Paia Fish Market on the northern part?

I have never been to Maui before therefore your advice has been VERY helpful. Do you know the driving distance to Hailiimaile General Store from Wailea?

Manomin - How far is Hailiimaile General Store from Wailea - it looked further from Wailea than Lahaina but obviously I am wrong. Thanks

How is Shabu Zen in Allston
Have you been to Pizzeria Regina in Allston? We tried Carlos Cuccina on our last trip and loved this place. My family does not like Chinese cuisine unfortunately for me and Garlic n Lemons seems to be too low key any other recommendations - doesn't have to be in Allston area - Cambridge area would be nice as well?? Thanks for your help.

Birthday celebration for four with one VERY picky eater
Looking for great food - great ambiance for birthday celebration for two couples BUT there is one VERY picky eater who pretty much just likes the basics - Caesar salad - shrimp cocktail - steak - chicken parmesan - but the other three like everything! Looking to spend about $100 to $125 per person. I have looked at the menus of Scarpetta, Delposto and Locande Verde and just not seeing things that she will eat unless the chef will accomodate her.

Wow thanks so much jenx18!!!!! We are going to Maui in December and I just started my search - anything else not to be missed?? We will be staying at the Marriott in Wailea - will have a car - looking for a variety of places - nice views - some places the locals go to - don't mind driving around - some moderate and some less than moderate. Were there any adventures that shouldn't be missed as well?
