Trenton- pizza confusion!
I am going to be in Trenton for the weekend and was told that I must go to DeLorenzo's Tomato Pies. However, I am confused due to the several locations. The original one on Hudson has another location in Robbinsville, yet I saw another article about DeLorenzo's on Hamilton Street. What to do?
Also, while I'm in Trenton - other suggestions fro good places to eat? Thanks.
San Diego Gaslamp
Okay - so I understand from reading all of the San Diego posts that the gaslamp district is just for tourists, overpriced food, blah, blah, blah. But, I still need to eat there because I have limited time for eating and need to walk everywhere from my hotel (I can walk 20-30 minutes each way). I am staying at the Marriott Marquis on West Harbor Drive. I would love Mexican/Latin, Seafood (with West Coast selections), and creative new American. Living in a great restaurant city (Philadelphia), I don't need to go to restaurants whose cuisine I can easily get back home (Italian, Thai, Indian, etc.). Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.
National Harbor
I will be at the Gaylord Resort in National Harbor at the beginning of July (on business). I see from the directory that there are many restaurants in the area; I assume all within walking distance. I need help navigating which restaurants are worth going to and which should be avoided. Thanks.
Murphy's Stout - Philadelphia
I am a stout drinker and love to try different brands wherever I go (Guinness, Yard's Love Stout, Fullers, etc.). I can't find any place that sells Murphy's on tap. Any advice?
After theater suggestions
My wife and I would like to go for dessert and coffee only, after an evening performance in the Times Square area. Then, we would like to go for a cocktail (or two) in a place that is quiet. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Saratoga Springs
I will be in Saratoga next week for one breakfast, one lunch, and three dinners. I know many of the "famous" restaurants, but not any of the newer ones. Suggestions for new (not too expensive) places. Any good Mexican restaurants? Thanks.
Long Branch, NJ
I will be in Long Branch (Ocean Palace Resort) for three nights. I've already been to the Zagat sight and Open Table, but I'm not really getting accurate information. What are the good local restaurants? I'm open to all cuisines, but do love seafood. Also, are the resort's restaurants any good? I am looking for fine dining as well as "holes-in-the-wall" as along as the food is top notch. Thanks.
Pittsburgh - Downtown
I have to be in Pittsburgh on Thursday, March 10th and am staying at the Courtyard on Penn Avenue. Can you suggest any restaurants within walking distance that are moderately priced. Or, I would be willing to drive a short distance as long as there is reasonable parking (preferably a private parking lot). Any cuisine is fine - love it all!. Thanks.
Staten Island-St. Johns University
I am lecturing at St. John's University on Staten Island (Howard Ave) next month and am staying at the Hilton Garden Inn on South Avenue. I will be taking out two colleagues for dinner but do not know any restaurants in the area. I would appreciate any suggestions for a quiet dinner in the area of the university or the hotel. Thanks
Kid-friendly lunch - Times Square
We are bringing our granddaughter to see Mary Poppins and would like to go out for lunch first. What restaurants can you recommend that an 8 year old would enjoy, but NOT a chain restaurant? Times Square area would be great but not necessary. Thanks.
ATHENS, GEORGIA
I am going to be in Athens for the first time in February; I am speaking at a conference. Please share some of the best restaurants in the area. I would prefer "local" cuisine - soul/southern/bbq, but am open to any great restaurants that are there. Thanks.
Wilkes-Barre, PA
I will be in Wilkes-Barre on business for one evening and am looking for a place to eat. I am open to any cuisine and price point, but would prefer not having to wear a jacket and tie. Any good Japanese, seafood, or Indian places? Any great local places or foods that "tourists" wouldn't know about? Thanks.
Coraopolis, PA
I am going to be staying at a hotel in Coraopolis on a Tuesday evening. I had planned on going to LoBello's, but they seem to be closed on Tuesdays. Can you please give me suggestions for other restaurants, not too far away, that have easy parking. I will be arriving at the airport by 4:00 PM, should check into my hotel by 5:00 PM, which means that I will be smack into rush hour. I would like to avoid any long drive. I will be exhausted after several days of flying. Any cuisine is good. Thanks.
sweetbreads
Hey friends,
I have an out of town guest who loves sweetbreads. Are there any restaurants Center City Philadelphia that have them on the menu on a regular basis?
Thanks
Romantic Italian Fine Dining besides Vetri and Osteria
Two others that are definitely "fine dining Italian" are Panorama and La Famiglia. Both will be under $200 and both have outstanding wine lists. They have beautiful dining rooms with excellent service and are fairly quiet and romantic.
Looking for superb food and awesome ambiance
Try Panorama (Old City); the food and service are both excellent; it has a lovely atmosphere and the wine list in incomparable.
Jersey Shore Homemade Ice Cream?
I am going to be in Atlantic City next week and am looking for truly great homemade ice cream on the Jersey Shore. I am willing to travel 30 to 45 minutes from Atlantic City. Suggestions?
Blairsville, PA
Help - a colleague and I will be spending the night in Blairsville, PA before lecturing the next day at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I am looking for a place to eat for dinner and I don't seem to be able to find places on the net. Can you give me a few suggestions within 20 minutes or so from Blairsville? We are staying at the Hampton Inn, 1762 Old William Penn Highway. My colleague is not much of a meat eater, but loves seafood, Italian, and basic American. Thanks
Riverwalk Mall eateries
Are there ANY eateries in the Riverwalk Mall worth going to? Looking for a quick bite before I go back to business meetings. Thanks
Returning to N.O.
Thanks you so much - you have given me all of the information I needed.
Returning to N.O.
These are all great suggestions. I have been to Galatoire's, K-Paul, Johnny's, Central Grocery and Acme, and Commander's Palace, etc.
Returning to N.O.
Yes, I can walk there., but I have been to most of them in the past.
Returning to N.O.
I've been to New Orleans a couple of times before Katrina and have done most of the famous places. I am now returning for a conference in November and am looking for some places that are not famous, but that you locals really enjoy. Living in Philadelphia (a great restaurant city), I can get virtually any food I want, except the fantastic cuisine of New Orleans. Therefore, I still want to eat creole/cajun/southern food when I am in town. I am staying in the Convention Center area and will not have a car. So, I would like the suggestions to be within a 20-30 minute walk (and hopefully, in a safe area). I am looking for anyplace that you love - from holes-in-the-wall (jeans) to fine dining (suit & tie). Thanks, chowhound-compadres.
Philadelphia Holiday party suggestions
I am planning (already) my company's holiday party and am tired of going to the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. I know that Center City is out, but are there some good restaurants in any Philadelphia neighborhood that has free, off-street parking? I can use as many suggestions as possible and I need places that will accommodate a few vegetarians. Thanks.
Monroeville, PA
I am going to be staying in Monroeville for business and need advice on local restaurants in the moderate range. Zagat doesn't rate anything in Monroeville and it is difficult getting any accurate information from the net. So, naturally, I turn to you. Thanks
Budd Lake - Randolph, NJ
Help!!! I am going to be in the Budd Lake - Randolph, NJ area on business and am desperate for advice on where to eat. After a long day, I don't really want to travel too far - no more than a half hour from this location. Fine dining is okay; so is a dive, as long as the food is good. Thanks
Geneva, NY
I'm going to be in Geneva for a weekend and am looking for some suggestions for both fine dining and casual places to eat. Any cuisine will do. although I recognize that Geneva is a small area and will not have a large selection. Thanks.
Northern NJ advice
I am going to be in Somerset, NJ for a meeting and would like some advice for a lunch place and a dinner place. Any cuisine is fine; moderate prices, please. I would like to stay within a 1/2 hour's ride from Somerset. Thanks.
