That was a fun time, indeed, here in Vegas at Cafe Ba Ba Reeba and getting to spend time with you, Kat, Waldo, LCS, and "The Gang". :awww: That was the first time I'd been to Cafe Ba Ba Reeba, or anyplace like it. I thoroughly enjoyed it, too, and the food there was absolutely wonderful. :drool: I didn't know I'd like that kind of food as much as I do!! When you guys come back....and I know you will, one of these days, I will take you to eat Dim Sum at the Orchid Garden....and we will also take in the all-you-can-eat sushi and tempura bar at Makeno's. :danglecarrot::winky: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |

Massachusetts
Boston Legal Seafood may be a chain and it may not be the best seafood in the world, but I have never had a bad meal at a stand alone Legal outlet. The Logan airport location just delivered the first bad meal I'd ever had at Legal so I can no longer claim "never" wholly, but well qualified I still recommend it. Abe & Louie's is one of those "old boy" type places that you don't think exist any more. If you're a regular they know you and your palate extremely well. They know the table you prefer and the cocktail that you'll want waiting. If not, you may well want to become a regular. East Side Bar & Grille in Cambridge is my go to place for a good cocktail or a well poured beer and a low key atmosphere. Get a baked quahog and a salad with your Harpoon IPA and you're golden. Western MA Eastside is the place I jones for when I'm away. They have a good caesar salad and serve it with anchovy (as the food gods intended!). They no longer plate my favorite fish dish, but always have a nice selection of fresh seafood. Try the sweet potato chips with artichoke and crab dip. I have no idea why they don't put it on the regular menu because it's been on the specials list every time I've been there over the last three years. Carmelina's in Hadley is a new fav for me. Was just there this month. It's easy to say that it's charming, but what you wouldn't realize from the exterior is that you'll get some of the best service inside this unassuming space. Paired with great ambiance and live music and you start to understand why it's always packed. Esselon, also in Hadley, is one og my favorite places to grab breakfast or brunch. They have a lovely gardenside patio to enjoy while injesting amazing carb laden breakfast goodness. If I liked coffee I have no doubt I'd love theirs. It smells great! Green Street Cafe, in the shadow of Smith college, serves a small but very fresh menu in a converted storefront space that can feel a little odd, but none-the-less quite welcoming. The service tends to be a little on the flighty side, but the food more or less makes up for it. Cape Cod http://www.yelp.com/biz/edwige-provincetown in Provincetown is ideal for a romantic dinner with cocktails, but be forewarned, it's small, bustling and can be quite hot when the weather heats up. They win points for great cocktail concoctions. |

We ate here tonight. It was absolutely amazing! No waiting, not crowded. Very old school with his/her menus. And the chef came out and introduced himself!
A perfect romantic evening... |
Good
It's not only the name of the place, it really is...GOOD!
http://www.goodrestaurantnyc.com/ Great brunch! |

Menu looks good.....this place would be in Wicker Park at North Ave and Damen Ave. At one time this neighborhood was gang infested and run down. Then the Yuppies started buying up property and turned it into an eclectic night life filled with food and fun all around. Parking is at a premium in that area, so when visiting, either take a cab or use public transit. |
For myself, I miss pizza in my hometown of Chicago, so when I visit, I like to go to Lincoln Park and eat at Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinders. It sits directly across the street from where the St Valentine's Day Massacre happened. It's a small venue that's been there for more than 30 years. They don't take reservations or credit cards, so you must bring cash. They only serve pizza two ways, with or without meat and a half pounder or full pound. It's a pizza eating experience you'll never forget because the pizza is brought to you in a bowl oozing with cheese. It is then turned upside down on a plate and the server gently removes it from the hot bowl it was cooked in. It's amazing to see the transformation once it's on a plate.

Great everyday food
The best fried fish in Washington, DC.... no question Horace & Dickey's on 12th & H NE!! It is strictly carryout and there is always a line, but trust and believe their fish is worth it!! If you are extra sassy you will get a little extra attention from "Mama" who is fabulous character! They take credit/debit cards, and they will remind you that the tip jars are open and accepting!! :poc-love::poc-love::poc-love:

If you like beer, they have a brewery on the property and have won several awards for their beers, not to mention getting into a war with another company over the name Fat Bastard for their beer. If it's good enough to get into litigation over, you know it's good. :blink: For those that don't like beer, they also make their own ginger ale and root beer on the property too. Scrumpdiddlyumtious! I'm partial to their spinach salad and porter glazed salmon but suggest staying away from their cowboy steak. They leave the coffee grounds (used to tenderize the meat) on the steak. Ick. |

Yummy PNW seafood done right. Their burnt creme is delish. |

Their web site looks like it may be under construction right now, but the details and addresses of their locations (I usually go to the one on Decatur) can be found here: http://www.lasvegas.net/Makino-Las-V...ood-Buffet.htm On another note, I am originally from Savannah, Georgia, and a Southern boy in just about every way. One of my most favorite places to eat is a little seafood joint called "The Crab Trap", located at St. Simon's Island, off the intracoastal waterway, near Brunswick, GA. That place has the best southern fried oysters and batter dipped fries you'd ever hope to put in your mouth!! The tables in the restaurant have holes cut into the middle so you can toss your shrimp tails, crab shells and oyster shells into, as you eat. If you ever get down that way, be sure to stop, as it's a place you'll not want to miss!!! :winky::thumbsup: http://www.thecrabtrapssi.com/about_soliv.html ~Theo~ :bouquet: |

Burger Creations on E8th and NYU.
Unfuckingbelievably good burger. Great fries. O-Rings. And not a million dollars. http://www.burgercreations.com/ P.S. Salads are great too! |
Momofuku Noodle Bar

Sweet Jesus. This place is tasty. Try the pork ramen. I mean, you don't have to. But, you might not know what you're missing if you don't. Just sayin'. Experiment with the appeteasers. You won't be disappointed. |
Figs ::: La Guardia Airport
Stuck at the airport?
Check out Todd English's Figs. [More known in Boston]. Portobello mushroom pizza. White chocolate bread pudding. Bread pudding has enough eggs in it to start a chicken farm. Beyond delicious as a result. Both of these will serve your discriminating palate as well as make your socks go up and down. Mangiar bene! |
