Must Eats - West Hartford, CT - 24-Hour Stay
Tangiers Middle Eastern Farmington Av, W Hartfard. Wife, sis-in-law and myself just had lunch there the other week. The genuine article. I had stuffed eggplant with beef over rice. Pungent, aromatic, yum. Tried my wife's falafel, crisp on outside spicy on the inside. Smooth tahini. Harif and hummus optional. A half a dozen different kinds of string cheese. Same number of feta cheeses. Many other delicacies. Family owned and run. The matriarch's recipes are available in a cookbook for sale. Stands up to Sahadis' or any store on Atlantic Av in Brooklyn. AMAZING! Like a souk in W. Hartford.

Food Halfway between Flagstaff & Phoenix?
This is way past LisaN's trip but didn't want to start another thread. Try Lone Pine Restaurant (928) 286-9480 65 Pinewood Blvd, Munds Park, AZ 86017. On a road trip filled with strip malls and chain restaurants, the Lone Pine Restaurant was a refreshing respite. Had a great breakfast. Oatmeal had real brown sugar, omelet fluffy, sausage had bite but not greasy. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was real, unpretentious, good -- real good. Worth a detour.

Unfortunately Henry Westpfal has lost their lease. They will be closing sometime in May and will be sorely missed. The lady in the store said to call their number 212-563-5990 for a recorded update to hear where or if they will reopen. I too am looking for a replacement. I have heard mixed things about Bway Panhandler and Cooks Companion. See the thread: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/239205
