Looking for Recommendations for family friendly Gramercy Park (or nearby) restaurants

My husband and I will be staying in New York Saturday night with our 10 and 12 year old non-adventurous eaters. We are looking for a recommendation in the Gramercy Park area for dinner, where my husband and I can enjoy a good meal but where our kids can get some basics (pasta, chicken fingers, etc). We are interested in any type of American/Italian/Tavern food, no Asian or spicy food.

BBQ in Williamsburg, VA

I will be traveling next week to Williamsburg, VA (visiting Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens) with my husband and 2 kids (ages 8 and 10). I am looking for restaurant recommendations - most importantly, a great BBQ place as my husband loves good BBQ, but also other restraurants in general. I would like kid friendly and non-chain restaurants that are either in or close to the Colonial Williamsburg area. Thank you in advance!

Tucson-family friendly recommendations

Thank you for the recommendations!

Tucson-family friendly recommendations

I will be in Marana (NW Tucson) next week with my family (husband and 2 kids, ages 7 and 10). We are looking for some recommendations for restaurants that are family friendly but with good food so Mom and Dad can enjoy a nice meal. Our kids are very well behaved but not adventurous eaters. We were thinking about the Hilton El Conquistador but would like some other ideas.

Restuarants in Nantucket?

We will be in Nantucket in 2 weeks are are looking for an upscale restaurant for a nice dinner. Must be in town due to having no car. We've tried Oran Mor and enjoyed that. No interest in The Pearl based on the atmosphere - we'd prefer a more traditional Nantucket ambiance.

We've heard good things about Queequeegs, 21 Federal and Galley Beach, but I don't think Galley Beach is walkable from downtown.

Thanks in advance for suggestions!

First Cape Cod Vacation Ever...And I'm Hungry!

Wild Goose is at the Wayside Inn in downtown Chatham - I think it took the place of whatever was there previously.

First Cape Cod Vacation Ever...And I'm Hungry!

We stay in Harwich every year and go to many Cape restaurants. We would suggest (for fine dining) the Cape Sea Grille on Sea Street in Harwichport (lovely setting and food) and 28 Atlantic at the Wequassett Inn on Rt 28 in Harwich/Chatham - they also have a great outdood bar by the water. For casual food we like the Squire in Chatham (an absolute classic) and the Lobster Claw in Orleans. Have fun!

Buenos Aires recommendations

Thanks for your help! I wanted to go to Puerto Madero and La Recoleta because I am travelling with people that aren't terribly experienced with international travel and I thought they'd enjoy these neighborhoods. But I am open to other areas too.

Buenos Aires recommendations

I'll be going to BA at the end of September with about 6 colleagues who have never been there. I'm looking for a recommendation for dinner at a typical yet upscale and comfortable restaurant (beef, I suppose) in either Puerto Madero or La Recoleta neighborhood. Not too expensive but not cheap either.

I was in BA a few years ago and meals were incredibly reasonable. Are prices still cheap?

Looking for recommendations for San Juan, Puerto Rico

Thanks for the great suggestions!

Looking for recommendations for San Juan, Puerto Rico

We will be going to San Juan the first week in May (joining my husband for work) and will have one night for dinner alone. We'll be staying at the Intercontinental in Isla Verde. We're looking for an upscale restaurant (preferably seaood) either with a nice sea view or a quaint restaurant, perhaps in Old San Juan (quiet rather than high energy loud). Could also use some lunch suggestions for solo lunches while my husband is working!

cape cod suggestions(open now)

Other additions - for lunch you can try Land Ho in Orleans (down the street from the Christmas Tree Shop!) and The Squire in Chatham. I've heard that Grumpy's is the place to go for breakfast (not sure where it is - 6A in Brewster or Dennis?). Also for a unique experience you can go to the cafe at the airport in Chatham for breakfast. People rave about it. I think it is called the Cloud 9 cafe or something like that.

cape cod suggestions(open now)

We like Cape Sea Grille in Harwich (not sure if it's open now) and 902 Main on Rt. 28 in Yarmouth (pretty sure it's open all year). Also Abba and Academy Ocean Grille in Orleans (Abba is quite eclectic). We also very much enjoyed Twenty-eight Atlantic at the Wequassett Inn on 28 on the Harwich/Chatham border. Since it is in a hotel it should be open year round. Have heard good things about Ocean House in Dennisport but have never been. We LOVE the Cape, have a great time!

Recommendations for Tucson?

Thank you, Bill, for your help! We have decided on Janos. I am sure we will enjoy it.

Thanks for the advice. When I click on the link it says it can't be found. Can you tell me where to find this thread?

Dinner for 25 Prep school grads and parents in Princeton

Sunny Gardens is just ok, and only if you like Chinese. I suggest looking at Triumph Brewery right on Nassau Street (next to Panera). I host business dinners there and they do a good job. They have 2 private rooms upstairs, one of which can definitely hold 50 people. It has a fun vibe and the food is decent.

Recommendations for Tucson?

We will be in Tucson (Oro Valley specifically) next week and are looking for an upscale restaurant with great food and atmosphere. We've been to Hacienda del Sol and loved it but want to try something different. Open to "creative American" or Southwestern cuisine but not Asian, Mexican, etc. We're considering Dish, Janos, Bistro Zin or Ventana Room, but are open to other suggestions.
