Need O'Hare area restaurants open over the holidays
I will be in the O'Hare area over the end of year holidays. Experience has taught me that there are few decent / interesting /moderately priced non - chain,non - hotel connected places open on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day or New Year's Day.I am a native Chicagoan, since relocated, and I know if I drive miles into the city I can find something, but would prefer to stay relatively near O'Hare. What don't I know about?

Cheap tasty eats around K Street / GWU ?
Either lunch or dinner is OK. I like good cheap eats but don't want to eat at chain restaurants. Could you recommend any interesting place?
Cheap tasty eats around K Street / GWU ?
I will be staying for a few days on K street near George Washington University in Washington DC in Nov. Could anyone recommend a good, cheap, non-chain, interesting place to eat alone in the area?
Ban Thai, Baltimore - thumbs down
We visited this restaurant based on a good write up on a website called chow baby.
Ban Thai, Baltimore - thumbs down
If you like Asian - type food that is relatively bland, then you may enjoy this place. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice enough. It will give you an idea of what Thai food is like. I guess it is difficult to get authentic Thai or other Asian food in an area with so few Asians living. I think many Americans actually prefer relatively non - spicy food so many restaurants make this adjustment. There are certainly excellent Thai restaurants in the San Francisco Area, New York City and Seattle. I would probably pretty much agree with your father.

Re: Ban Thai, Baltimore, MD
My wife and I visited this restaurant on
10 - 13 - 06. We currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have
both lived and traveled throughout Asia. We have been to Thailand many
times.The food that is served in Ban Thai is really not typical or
even authentic Thai food and it is certainly not cheap either. It is
greatly toned down in spices and in taste in general. We found almost
all the food very bland and nearly tasteless. We overheard a waitress
reassuring a customer that the food wasn't spicy. Perhaps this is the
type of Thai food that people in Baltimore like and that's
perfectly ok, but this isn't anywhere near being a Thai restaurant
that I would recommend.
