's in South Jersey. Granted, none of these places are the best at anything they do. But try to find an edible nova lox and onion scramble, or decent fried chicken or 100 year old bar in York Pa. As a frequent tourist and...

, dinner? Did you sit in the main restaurant or the bar? I’ve always been pleased with my meals there. I think they could go a little farther on presentation, but the food is very good, I think. (And honestly, I’m not...

gifts for people back home (NY). Are there any “can't miss” items? Thanks for your help. Link: http://www.farmersmarketla.com/index.shtml

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Honestly it’s only because I like In 'n Out and they recommended it ten years ago. Usually when I come to S. F. I’ve taken advantage of the bar at Gary Danko’s or...

gg- have you been to any places in the Lowell area? There’s a large Vietnamese community. I eat at Thanh-Thanh almost daily (they’re close by my workplace) - they and Pho 88 and Thao’s are great home-style...

- the ultimate hot summer drink. Kudos to my waitress “Athena,” who looks like a cuter version of Lisa Loeb, at the Bellagio’s Nectar bar for getting my order correct without batting an eye or asking me to...

I hope you are all happy with your Wegman’s. After Giant you will be. But let me tell you something. Wegman’s crushed every supermarket chain in Rochester, their "home town" and became the most expensive store...

does ok at satisfying at least the fajita craving. Still, I am ready to give up and grill at home....the in-laws dropped a couple packages of Alamo Cafe tortillas into our freezer on their last visit. Yes!!
