love le Cinq and Brasserie l’Ancien Trocodero. Jules Verne is terrible. Dr. Michael Lim The Travelling Gourmet

in a booth that was closed in a bit with curtains. We began with drinks. I had the Dr. Pepper too, which was cool. It came on a tray with a highball glass full of ice, a bottled old-school Dr. Pepper, a mini-carafe of Absolute...

an honest living. Best good in-and-out lunch: Dr. Taco, on 10th Ave between 8 and 10 st. Best shrimp tacos since Jaime sold the Oasis; great homemade sauces and relishes.

possibility. Also, any suggestions for nearby tails would be great (or places that have a lounge/bar within). And, of course, it should be a place I can actually get a reservation at! Entrees probably shouldn’t exceed...

Did you have a perfect Manhattan, as in, it couldn’t have been better, or a Perfect Manhattan, made with both Vermouths? If the latter, how was it? How were the other tails?

Might not be exactly what you had in mind but Palms Thai in Hwood has the kring himself, Thai Elvis! and he is goo-o-od. good food, too. beer/sake/tails.

Heading out to shop Wednesday afternoon with no real agenda. Looking for a place to stop for late lunch/early dinner and a tail or two. We like all ethnicities, any price range is fine and we’ll obviously have a car,...

as a “Belgian” restaurant. Sure...they have a good selection of Belgian beer (not the best in town – Stella’s on Commercial Dr holds that crown) and Moule Frite. I consider it closer to a casual French...

I love the library room at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe..quiet, secluded and the odds of someone you know finding you there is minimal... Wish the Dive Bar Gods would make more dive bars with low lighting, burgundy naugahyde booths,...

It is hard to ever pass up the amazing Clam Chowder, about the best you could have anywhere. If they have the Barramundi, that also is incredible. And as simple as it is, the shrimp tail is also the best I have ever had... and I...

The best Al Pastor I’ve found in the area is from the La Golondrina truck that parks in front (Huntington Dr.) of the Food 4 Less........ There is also an outlaw cart that sets up behind the Food 4 Less (Navarro St. I think)...

Bonaventure Dr SE). I wanted to give credit where credit is due. This is a wonderful place in Calgary to take visitors wishing to experience that perfectly medium-rare Albertan filet mignon (or any other steak on the menu, for...

You can also try Washington Heights. There used to be a guy on the SW corner of 182nd and St. Nick that sold sugarcane stalks and the juice (we call it guarapo in DR). Even if that guy is no longer there, just walk around in The...

The bar menu and tails (both Cuban) at Chez Henri are fabulous; decent wines, too. CBC is more about beer; the food is pretty so-so. If you can make it all the way to Central, both Green Street and Central Kitchen would be worthy...

I would appreciate recommendations for restaurants serving tasty appetizers that I could dine at before attending the Lyric Opera. The restaurant needs to be within a short walk – say 5 to 10 minutes – of the opera...
