raised and organic and shun those processed foods for the most part. Nobody’s perfect and I think we should all allow ourselves a little room for deviance.

We’ll be on the Upper West Side all day today. We are looking for a spot with either great salads or Asian food (Thai, Japanese or fusion) for lunch. Any suggestions? We’ll be in the 70s but we are willing to walk or...

Sounds like you’re looking for a nice place – most of the authentic Asian food in NYC is served in small, family-owned joints that might not have the festive ambience you seek. I would go to Our Place for higher-end...

I don’t usually care much for food critics but this guy is a wonderful exception. For those who don’t know it, Lighthouse magazine is a freebie you can find at most of the japanese supermarkets and some restaurants....

Is there any good chinese food on the UWS. I have been to OLLIES and it sucks.

A day late and etc. but I’d take them (esp. if they don’t really know chinese food, or don’t have a huge hankering for it) to China Islamic or Tung Lai Shun. The breads will be familiar, the food is good and the...

you know i’ve tried shun lee (although its the one in the 50s, not the one at lincoln center) and i’m not impressed...i mean the service was good and the restaurant looked decent (light years nicer than anything in...

Someone’s recent post on another thread that mentioned eating tongue started my mind going about foods that aren’t so universally appealing like sweetbreads, tongue, tripe etc. So my question for the day is,...

Tokyo Lobby or Fujian in downtown WC. As far as real authentic Japanese cuisine in the very general area, I have heard good things about Bistro Shun in Pleasanton, but have yet to be able to go there.

I just moved to LA from Beijing, and I am trying to find a restaurant serving Xinjiang food. Xinjiang Province is an autonomous region that is mostly populated by Uighur people, who are muslim. I’ve been to Tung Lai Shun in...
