Portland Maine special occasion splurge restaurants?
Fore Street or 555? I haven't been to either but heard they're both fabulous. It's for a special occasion (a big birthday) for a couple. One is a big carnivore (and appreciates larger portions rather than smaller nouveau plating style) and the other loves seafood (hence a weekend in Portland)..Have you been to either? Which do you prefer? Raves? Must-gets?? Thanks a million!

just got back from the wine shop at trader joe's--can anyone recommend any of the good ultra-cheap trader joe reserve section/label wines? i still can't seem to be able to get over my wine snob hurdle and buy a bottle of wine for under $7!! not a big fan of the several charles shaw bottles i've sampled either..

You could go with the room downstairs at Blue Ribbon Bakery
NYC - Manhattan Recommendations
frankie's sputino on clinton street is cool at either lunch or dinner--clinton street bakery is a rip-off except for those biscuits at brunch and the blueberry pancakes!
NYC - Manhattan Recommendations
prune is good for lunch as is via emilia and . joe's shanghai is fun on a blustery day for soup dumplings and getting to know your fellow diners. maybe try lupa for lunch too.
wow if you have that kinda cash to spend on dinner you could really go wild in this city. any of the columbus circle "mall" restaurants would probably do you right. jean-georges is pretty phenomenal for dinner (and they have a $25 lunch deal); cafe bouloud and daniel are an occasion as is wallse, spice market is cool...del posto's food is good but the space sort of creeps me out--it's very funeral home-ish.
Which is your ultimate comfort food?
meatloaf, mashed potatoes and roasted fennel and red onions
What do you pack for lunch?
i am hungriest at lunchtime. i can see why spaniards and italians eat big during the day and then siesta time. wish we americans had siesta. i work near a lot of great restaurants so a few times a week i bop over to taim, via emilia or pio maya--i find if i eat a big lunch i'll only eat edamame or crackers or something small for dinner. if i pack a lunch it's usually leftovers-- today thai red curry and a salad or sometimes i'll buy a baguette on the way to the subway and bring a tomato, some brie and some salami with me.
Meatloaf Mania: Awesome Combos?

and on top..ketchup and crumbled crackers. delish!

That's okay, Lexie. I can take it as long as the answer is yes. Kefi will be a welcome lunch spot on the Columbus Avenue strip.

I keep kosher now, but when I didn't - bacon wrapped dates at a tapas bar.
Should I win a copy, I have the perfect friend to gift the book to.
