Interesting suggestion. thanks sam1. Anyone else have a thought? Do you think we would feel too young at Blue Hill?

HELP! Blue Hill or Little Owl

I am taking out my boyfriend for his 29th birthday and have reservations at both Blue Hill and Little Owl. WHICH TO CHOOSE!! Things to consider: noice level (it is a friday night), food, service, cost (as in not worth the money), anything else. Thanks in advance!!

Shelf life for Shredded Cheese

thanks everyone! this was really helpful!!

Shelf life for Shredded Cheese

I bought some shredded Parmesan and blue cheese at the beginning of December. Are they still good? They were freshly grated at my gourmet food store, so I figure they have less preservatives.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions!!!
KEEP THEM COMING!!

NY Hound coming to home- with BF

thanks for the reply.

Area... not exactly sure, but thinking lincoln park, wicker park, wrigleyville. We are in our mid- upper 20s.

Looking for a hip, fun atmosphere where i can get a sense of where upper 20 year olds who live here would have a celebration or nice meal. NOT anything stuffy. Does that help?

NY Hound coming to home- with BF

Hey Hounds,

I grew up north of the city and now live in NYC. I am bring my BF home to meet my parents and want to take him out for dinner one night in Chicago.

Looking for a fun place any food type but: Mexican, Asian, Tapas.

Price range is moderate... entrees in the 20s. Places in NYC with the atmosphere i would want (if this helps):
Schillers
Freemans
Lure Fishbar
The Place.

THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!

Drinks Before Red Cat

Good idea! Keep them coming. Really appreciate it!

Drinks Before Red Cat

I am having dinner at Red Cat on Saturday night and want to meet a friend for drinks before. Any suggestions on places in the area that would work.

WINE FLIGHTS!

thanks so much everyone! keep this post alive! would these places be good for dates?

WINE FLIGHTS!

I am in search of a restaurant that offers flights of wine AND has good food!!! Also, it needs to be downtown (i.e. below 34th).

Birthday dinner for 20, reasonably priced

I would highly suggest Aroma winebar... they have a room in the basement that would be perfect. the food is very good and reasonable.

HELP! Need dinner recs for catching up with friend...

Yes, public is the australian place. I really enjoyed by meals at both:

Public i had the kangaroo as an app. and then the grilled shrimp as an entree. Public is more sceny than Landmarc. It is louder (but not overly powering)

Landmarc is more homey and VERY good. i spilt the Filet and tuna steak when i went there. the food was really good (the steak was great.... and i am from chicago so i have had great steak). and the wine is very cheap and you can get craffes and try different types. if you are looking for a place to have great conversation and catchup i would say landmarc.
hope that helps

HELP! Need dinner recs for catching up with friend...

off the top of my head:

Lure Fishbar
Landmarc
Pylos
Public

downtown rec for a group?

I really enjoyed Public when I went. It is a very lively atmosphere and I loved my food when I was there (had the kangaroo app. and the shrimp entree.) I think it is definitely worth a trip

Pylos - what should I eat?

i love this place! I second the rec for the striped bass

ISO the best Breakfast Burrito

I think nothing beats a breakfast burrito for brunch. Does anyone where I can find a really good one? Downtown locations are preferred!

12 women for bachelorette?

i liked it when i went. i think the atmosphere fits right into what you are looking for

12 women for bachelorette?

I think freemans would be a blast, especially if you can get the back room.

Also, spice market would definitely be able to accomodate.

Buying Nuts in Bulk

where can i buy nuts and dried fruit in bulk? i like to make my own trial mix and cant find bulk bins anywhere! I live downtown so someplace close would be ideal!

Dinner for 12 Friday; <$25-30 pp; West/East Villages,Chelsea, Soho, HK

fig and olive in the meatpacking. they have space for a large party

Jane

Craftbar: Scene and food?

Thanks everyone. How are the fish dishes? and keep the reviews coming

The House

what is their website?

Craftbar: Scene and food?

Going to craftbar this weekend. Haven't seen any recent reviews of recs... thoughts? also, what is the scene like? I get the sense it is like Lure or Public... am I right

dinner for 3 girls saturday night in the ev or les

try public or barmarche. If you aren't set on the location, lure fishbar is great in Soho. I agree about the atmosphere at schillers... so annoying

Parents meeting in manhattan for the first time - perfect dinner spot?

What about Jane on W. Houston? Great space, not too expensive, really good food. And you will be able to hear each other and have a great conversation!

Kid Friendly Restaurants in SoHo/Battery Park

I always see stollers at Edwards on West Broadway in Tribeca.

Stanton Social -like place?

I love the atmosphere at public
