Oh and for seafood: http://www.bobsclamhut.com/main.htm
or really any place in Maine. Its silly how much better it is than anywhere else.
We should have a CT get together and gorge on pizza until the coma sets in.
Other CT places for AAA food:
BAR, New Haven: mashed potato pizza
Roomba, New Haven: Caribbean, Cuban, Latin, Seafood, South American, Spanish
Baja, West Haven: Mexican food. Best I've had outside of Mexico itself.
Roseland Pizza, Derby: Pizza. In the middle of craphole Derby, but people that have had the pizza know what's up.
Miya, New Haven: Japanese/Sushi. Top notch all the way.
Twisted Vine, Derby: Italian. I never would have expected the food here to be this good.
If you are ever in Finland:

Their bear meatballs are to die for...
This fish-dish 'Glow-fried arctic char' is probably my favorite food in the whole wide world:

(the fat waitress had a crush on me)
I was in Austin a few weeks back and went to The Salt Lick in Driftwood. I've never been so happily full in my life.
I'll work on a list of local places here, in case anyone makes the pilgrimage to Yoshi's Island. :p
A couple of places I recommend in my neighborhood (Fort Greene, Brooklyn):
The Smoke Joint BBQ Restaurant, their angus beef hotdog is delicious
67 Burger has really really good burger
These 2 places are right next to each other.
I have a ton of cheap eats recommendation in Chinatown, NYC :)
You should have let me know you would be around and we could have got together. In a totally non-gay way.Quote:

Good wine selection, very good seafood (insanely good), and an ambience that is tough to beat for a Seattle restaurant w/o a view of the Sound. Highly recommended. Price: $$$$

13 Coins. I'm recommending this not just b/c I love it but b/c everyone who comes to Seattle has a chance to experience it. There is a location right across the street at the Seatac airport, so no excuses for not trying this place (got a layover in Seattle? Give it a shot)! Solid food, good atmosphere (sit at the bar and watch the sous chefs work) and...open 24 hours. I'm also forgetting to mention that they make the best omlettes I've ever had. Check it out! Price: $$$

Those two dollar dumpling places (one on Allen, the other by Chinatown Fair). I regularly buy the frozen sacks of 30 to cook at home.Quote:

And last but not least I recommend the Lunch Box restaurants (there's like 3-4 of them) where you can get 5 items (sesame chicken, curry chicken, lo mein etc) plus a cup of cabbage soup for 3.50.
I love Chinatown <3
I'd be careful about those lunchbox places. They recycle soup.
Another place that's good to go is Down the Hatch on W. 4th Street in Manhattan. There wings are pretty expensive, but oh so fucking good. They also have some of the spiciest sauces I've ever had in the entire tri-state area. I can't take hot sauce (I'm a honey BBQ man) but my friends love the extra spicy wings.
It's a bar, though, so it's not really a family or date type of place.
If you're in Hoboken, you cannot fail with this Japanese restaurant called Illusion. I'm not sure if it's a chain or not but they have decent beef and seafood. The service is solid and the prices aren't killer.
In Jersey City, I love Dorrian's restaurant on Washington Boulevard right on the Pavonia/Newport section. Those that ever travel here should go here for a chill atmosphere (it's also pretty romantic when there aren't any games on TV), decent service, and superb meals. It's a normal bar and grill but their burgers are pretty tasty and affordable. Everything is normally under $10.
Anyone in the NYC area want to start a restaurant group? I normally go with friends once/twice a month but a lot of them are whining that they aren't bars.
