Previous query fell on deaf ears, but surely there's plenty of eGullet advice here!

This is terra incognito to me, what do I want to eat or drink? And where?

I visited the Dusseldorf area for a couple days on business a couple years ago. For drinking, I used this site as a guide. He's got info on Dusseldorf and other cities. I hit Uerige, Schluessel, Schumacher, and Fuechschen. If the weather is nice, you can drink your altbier outside (I was there in October, and even though it was cool out, everyone was outside, which was nice). I got an enormous and delicious boiled pig's hock (swinehaxen) at Fuechschen (though I might get the roasted version that was on the chalkboard specials next time). I also had a pretty good Italian meal at La Riva in Krefeld, though I can't compare it to much else in the area.

Are you looking for good local food, Michelin standard fare or something in-between?

Good local food, primarily. Inspiration for my own cooking. Innovative places as well.

In Chicago, for calibration: frontera/topology, publican/Avec, frank's franks, bongo room, violet hour, next would be a nice itinerary.

There are 10 (!) pages of discussion on Rochester ny. I'm surprised this has been so hard...
