've done some major-street drivebys & have seen some torta places and pho emporiums that look promising, but admit to being clueless about our new environs. HELP!

2nd the Cornish Pasty in Tempe. Really good and huge servings (for me). We like George and Dragon in the Hampton Inn at I-10 and 48th Street (just across the border from Tempe into Phoenix). There’s also a G&D on Central in...

Funny that you mention this. A friend just recently told me about the Brazilian cuisine on 71st street and I’ve been dying to try it. Heard about Karma too, they do have tapas and wine.

Roti Palace in Roadtown. I don’t remember the name, but there was a shack across the street from the beach on the northside of Tortola near the Sugar Mill that served Lobster Patties (West Indian Turnovers) and fried...

I’m trying to show an out-of-towner around who loves plain ol' GRUB spots, doesn’t have to be fancy!: I’m thinking of taking her to places like: Osha Thai San Tung Mi Lindo Peru Sub Center Cha Cha Cha Where would you...

I like Spice for Thai food; especially reasonable lunch. It’s at 2nd and between 73rd and 74th Streets. There’s a new BYOB Italian on 77th; just off Second Avenue between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Haven’t tried it...

of toppings and relatively thin crust baked just right, i.e. neither burnt nor soggy. Caveat emptor: they only take cash. This place has been around for a few years at least. Reasonably priced Mom 'n Pop place. The other is the...

I’m heading up to Burlington VT for a long weekend of skiing, drinking and eating. I’ll be staying right off of Church Street which I am beginning to realize is LOADED with pubs. Be it that I have limited time I was...

Grill Nara across the street and within a few blocks of the Westin has pretty good teppan.

with no one else there, it should be fine. Ullysses is not a bad choice either. More people, possibly crowded. Best beer selection would be the John Street Bar. Never tried their food, but it is tending toward a dive. That might...

Liam’s is on 319 in Thomasville just past Broad Street. They are not open for dinner every night. They are also opened for lunch certain days of the week and brunch on weekends. Dinner is where Scott shines. Great...

I’d advise staying away from the Thai place on the corner of Geary/Webster. I remember reading some pretty bad reviews about it on this board. I would also personally avoid Japantown, which is right across the street but...

Also, there is an Irish pub just off Main St in Huntington Beach....Forgot the name, but it’s on the 1st street north of PCH. Descent fish and chips, and great beers on tap.

There are two that I’ve been to: Zaffron (6200 Yonge Street) or North restaurant (steeles in the plaza next to hungarian schnitzil (sp??) restaurant)

There’s always the Locker Room on main street Lee, which has lots of typical pub food, and lots of TV’s. The food isn’t great, but it’s good pub food for a sports bar if that’s what you’re...
