I love Roots – great little restaurant. I love the spinach salad with the cornbread croutons – yummy. And honestly, I’ve never had a bad meal there so you’ll enjoy whatever you order I’m sure.

Those tiny little cookies at the bakery on Beverly near La Brea (formerly Sugar Plum bakery, has a new name), are awfully good.

I have been to Vice Versa twice and loved it both times. I would call it Modern Italian fare. YUM Even if you just order coffee at the end of the meal instead of dessert they give you little cookies to munch on.

Anyone have a recent experience with Amtrak’s Empire Builder servece? It has been years since I have done any long distance travel on Amtrak and the food was not memorable. Thanks!

“Bistro du Nord” is a chic but casual little boite.

We will be renting cabins near the parks in September and were wondering if there are any great grocers nearby? We love to explore regional options.

I’m getting a little tired of the hipper-than-thou stretch of Williamsburg. Anybody know where to go for good Jewish/kosher food? Bakery, deli, whatever...

I’ve been, and it’s very good. Not tons of choices, but the ones they have are excellent. A little less cheese-focused than you might expect, and the service is a little slow.

Little Debbie has some fried fruit pies that should satisfy ... apple, cherry, and lemon http://www.littledebbie.com/products/other.asp A fair number of stores carry Little Debbie's products in NYC ... maybe someone can chime in...
