Ippudo MSG?

I know this has been brought up before, but what is the verdict on whether Ippudo uses MSG? I eat there all the time but I wouldn't know MSG from XYZ, so I really have no idea.

Best Dumplings in NYC....(?!)

hola-

I have one nomination for best dumpling in NYC and would much appreciate hearing what others on chow think is the best....

My favorite: the chicken potstickers at Pho 32 & Shabu (been to locations on St Marks pl and K-town in Manhattan). Ingredients seem high-quality (no crunchy mystery bits of meat) and they have squeeze bottles of hoisin sauce on the tables, which does it for me.

$100 to spend near 54th & 5th

I have exactly $100 to spend on dinner tonight for me and my girlfriend. I'm looking for someplace great in the vicinity of 54th & 5th (willing to travel a few blocks up, down and side to side) for a great meal.

Yogua Bar?

There is a sign up that reads "Yogua Bar" on an under-construction slender storefront on the north side of 23rd Street between Park and Lex. I've googled the name and come up with nothing; does anyone have a clue what this place will be?

Given the name, location, store size and the pastel hue of the logo, I have a hunch that it could be another pinkberry imitator.

Anyone know any better?

Pre-Theater Dinner (also birthday)

Hello,

I'm taking a date to see Wicked on Broadway tomorrow night (51st and Broadway). We are twenty-somethings and it's her birthday; any suggestions on places to go? Looking for an interesting place and I have no particular type of food that I'm committed to (though Thai or other Asian cuisine is a favorite).

I would very much appreciate your advice!

Thank you
