Outside dining for a group (incl out-of-towners)
There will be seven or eight of us, including a very chill 12 year-old. Prefer West Side (upper or lower), or somewhere downtown. Food should be good, but no real foodies in the group, so priorities here are a place that takes reservations and interesting street scene. Weeknight in mid-May.
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
I am a crier. Here are the things I do to make things easier:
1. Put the onion in the freezer before chopping. Not so long that it's frozen, but a lot colder. About 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the onion,
2. If I have a lot of onion to chop, I use a food processor.
3. Always wash, or at least rinse, the knife and cutting board as soon as you are finished.
4. If you wear glasses, wash them outside and INSIDE afterwards, preferably with dishwashing liquid.
