Taro is now out of business. Sign on door says owner decided to retire

Looks like gaimbotta is now closed and has or will reopen as ROME. Anyone have any information?

Right! I'm not disputing that there's great street food. but I can't think of any that I would travel for when there's a roughly equivalent option close by. obviously there are people (and another site dedicated to them) which believe that there are cart arepas so much better than other arepas that they're worth traveling an hour for. I just don't buy it. if you ask me where should you get a bahn mi or falafel? I'm going to ask you where you are. there are a bunch of perfectly good sandwiches available throughout this city. IMHO, which one to get is determined purely by neighborhood. ← I'm almost sorry I posted my inquiry. I dont plan on traveling to a specific neighborhood to eat at said place. But, if I'm in the general area, then at least I have an idea of where to eat. I only have 6 meals to eat in NYC and I dont want to waste one on really crappy food( or a chain). ← I would recommend checking out www.menupages.com. . It has a way to sort by food type, area,price range or by rating(with reviews). Each restuarant has a menu with prices listed so you can judge for yourself if it is affordable. tom

david There is a restaurant called the CONTINENTAL (3rd level at the pier shops at Caesars). It is sort of a tapas type place. Great for a group of people and if you like to share dishes between the group. THey make nice martinis too. If you dont like the continental there are a bunch of restuarants bars at the pier shops so you shouldnt have a problem finding something that everyone will like. Another one of my favroites(if you like craft beers and pub food) is the tun tavern. A short walk from Ballys. (Located at the sheraton..near the outlet shops) tom

What about Redeye grill on 7th ave and 56th. www.redeyegrill.com

We usually make a couple of trips in the fall to windy brow. We have tried the rt 94 (warwick,florida ny ) area and found the windy brow apples taste better. They have u pickem's on the weekends usually thru halloween. When you get there and walk into their building there is always the smell of fresh cider donuts and apple pies that they have just made. We always walk out with some of them too. They are also open during the week for school field trips check this website for more info http://www.njskylands.com/_windybrow.htm tom

MJP The gaslight brewery in south orange usually has a flavor of the lindemans available(kreik,frambroise, or peche). My girlfriend also likes these and doesnt realize she is drinking beer. She thinks she is drinking raspberry soda tom

how about LELEZAR or Taj PALACE. Did these restaurants suffer any damage? tom

tracey we just got back from greek delights having an early dinner before the snow. We also ordered more than we could eat so we could have leftovers for tomorrow instead of fighting the crowds at the supermarket. Btw food is still excellent. tom

my vote is for PALS CABIN in west orange for a burger. I usually get the Bacon/cheddar burger when i go tom

went to uncle nicks on saturday afternoon. Was one of the best meals we had in along time. started off with a mixed grill appetizer which has an assortment of lightly fried eggplant,zucchini, and peppers with skordalia (potatoes and garlic). main entrees where grilled halibut(perfectly cooked in wine and lemon) and a whole flounder.This was one of the best flounders i have ever eaten. I usually find flounder to be on the mushy side but the meat on this fish was cooked to perfection. We shared a baklava for desert along with greek coffee. tom

eric there is a company in union nj. called browne halco. They specialize in smallwares for the restaurant business. Their website is www.halco.com. tom
