What's good in the Twin Cities? Heading there in a few weeks for a long weekend and looking for eats, especially if there's a decent kbbq place.

Kalenden posted:My companion and I are major foodies and enjoy active city trips with a big gastronomic part and will be visiting New York City soon. Commonly, we walk around the city the whole day and go for a very nice fine dining experience in the evening. We try to find local spots and places that are harder to find back home or that are world-known to be superb. In London, for example, we had a world famous ice-cream for lunch (don't judge ;-) ) and in the evening enjoyed a michelin-starred Indian, which we cannot find in our own neighborhood, and managed to do something similar for a couple of days straight. It was a great experience to do multiple diverse fine dining restaurants over several days and get to enjoy cuisines and styles we don't have back home (Belgium). If you can manage to get a reservation, Momofuku Ko is one of my favorite tasting menus in the city. Han Dynasty has a pretty good traditional chinese tasting menu. 11 Madision is great but pricey. The River Cafe in dumbo also good experience. You've cast a pretty wide net.

Wow, the River Cafe reopened? We went there on our honeymoon back in 2009, and it was such a beautiful place with a gorgeous view, but I thought it had closed (maybe after Hurricane Sandy). That makes me so happy to hear!

I'm traveling for work in early September to Springfield, Ohio. I don't have high hopes that there's great food there, but does anyone have any recommendations? Any cuisine, any price point, I just want something good.

I'd suggest looking into Yellow Springs if you want a decent meal out - it's a bit of a drive, but since it's kind of a touristy town/hippieville they've got a lot of pretty decent restaurants. I enjoyed stopping at the Sunrise Cafe and Williams when I was last in town.

I'll be in Montreal for about a week starting on Wednesday, what are the good places. I'm obviously going to be checking out the city-specific stuff like smoked meat and poutine, and doing tourist stuff. there isnt really a cuisine I don't like and I will be fat, stupid, poorly dressed and speaking english so I'd like to visit places where I might not stick out like a sore thumb.

Yellow Springs is pretty nice. I haven't been there in awhile but I liked Ha Ha Pizza and Peach's Grill. A little outside of Yellow Springs is Young's Dairy. They have pretty good ice cream. I also really like their cheese curds. Inside Springfield itself, it's mostly just chain restaurants. I really like Schuler's donuts. They're mostly famous for their politically incorrect sign: http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/local/schuler-bakery-politically-incorrect-sign-prompts-reaction/NAMSoWTq6YGMRinVmTtDnK/ If you've got time to travel farther, Dayton is about 30 minutes away and Columbus is about 45 minutes. Edit: I forgot that there's Guerra's Krazy Taco that's supposed to have authentic Mexican tacos, I haven't been myself. mariooncrack fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Aug 2, 2017 |

Also I'm pretty sure there's a D.C. dining thread.

Not a DC native, but I think I asked the good bar food/beer question here a couple years back and got ChurchKey as a suggestion. I was not let down.

Second Churchkey, Old Ebbitt's is also fun and historic. I thought there was a DC thread? I don't see it on the front page, but I know there are a lot of DC area posters here.

Dear UK food goons: I'm heading to Manchester for a long weekend in a month or so, and am wondering if there's anything folks would recommend up there? I'm definitely looking for a good sushi place, although I'm generally open to whatever's cool.

Thinking of a road trip next weekend to edit: We decided to spend a night in Cincy instead of Indianapolis, because Jungle Jim's. So any food recs for Cincy/near Jungle Jim's (Fairfield) also appreciated! Crusty Nutsack fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Aug 28, 2017 |

Also doing some bourbon trail stuff so any recs in that area would be appreciated too. Dunno about those two places but if you drive through Bloomington, Indiana on your way and you like pizza, you absolutely have to go to Mother Bear's Pizza. There's a bunch of good food in Bloomington but that's the one I remember the most. But if you say Bloomington enough times in an SA thread Bloomingoons will come flooding in

I asked about Scandinavia a few weeks ago, but I was hoping some people could also recommend places to have quick lunch in Iceland. I realize that's not a city, but we're going to be travelling the Ring Road over the course of 9 days, and we haven't really figured out much in the way of mealtimes, lunch in particular. If there are good places to eat at along the way, it would be helpful.

How long from now are you going to Iceland? If it's more than 9 weeks from now, you can pay someone to bury some sharks along the way to ferment for you ahead of time.

Nah, it's 2 weeks from Iceland. And we're not looking for anything fancy; just somewhere that's better than the sandwiches we're tentatively planning to pack for several hours of travel.

Thanks, but most of those seem to be a bit far from where I'm staying, and time for meals is short (2 hour slots for lunch/dinner, including travel time from the hotel on International Drive). I'll keep looking through the list, though.

I'm only going to be there for the weekend, any type of food is great but as mentioned above time is sort of an issue and because of that distance is too. I can uber if needed. I was thinking of Nile for starters since that's only ten minutes away by car and a lot of people seem to have loved it.

I was thinking of Nile for starters since that's only ten minutes away by car and a lot of people seem to have loved it. Nile is tasty. We did a goon meet there once maybe like 6 years ago. The tough thing about I-Drive in general is that is super drat touristy and like 99% of the things there are chains, some major ones some smaller ones. Depending on where you are on I-Drive as well, it can take a while to get up and down it. There are still decent places there that are chains, but they're not unique if that's what you're after. If you don't mind small chains, Brick House Tavern has some tasty food and decent beer. Yardhouse across the street from there is sort of the same vibe. There are some good places over in the Dr. Phillips area which isn't terribly far. The Whiskey is a great little bar that has really good burgers. Flipper's Pizzeria is pretty solid as well. There's also a Brazillian place called SteakOnFire that makes awesome sandwiches. It definitely hurts you being in that area and being time limited. Much of the cooler places to go are closer to downtown. There is an area there called Mills 50 and it's full of awesome new restaurants.

I'll be visiting Pittsburgh for a physics conference in late October. I'll be staying at the Doubletree downtown ~4 days. I'll be flying in, probably no car. Any particular restaurant I should go out of my way for? I'm a vegetarian if that matters. Bonus points for bars in the area (physics conferences double as an excuse to drink). Preferably something not boisterous. Also, my friend will be coming from Japan, so are there places open at odd hours? I figure his clock will be all mixed up so I thought I'd ask for him.

There was a place in Pittsburgh called Conflict Kitchen where they would only serve food from a country that the US was in conflict with. I think it's closed forever now  The only other thing I know about Pittsburgh is there's a bar called Hidden Harbor that does great tiki - https://twitter.com/HiddenHarborPGH

If you could eat anywhere in Portugal and someone else would pay for it, no matter what, where would you eat? Because that's the situation for my honeymoon in June, and goddamn if I don't want to eat at a Michelin starred restaurant at least once in my life. My fiancee is allergic to shellfish, but other than that, we'll try anything, especially if it's spicy. E: also, if you know any places there with good traditional charcuterie, I'd love to hear about it.
