My husband and I go to Newport every year for our anniversary. We always go to the Corner Cafe on broadway for breakfast. It is quite small so if you go at peak times expect a wait. Also, try the Viking hotel for afternoon tea or lunch. They have a great patio outdoors and a rooftop terrance. Lastly, the White Horse Tavern. This place has been in operation since the 1600's. It is a bit pricey, but worth it. We stay away from the waterfront places becuase they are always over crowded and too touristy for us. But, I have heard great things about the Black Pearl and we may make an exception next time we visit.
OMG! @Teachertalk, La Saltena is my favorite! I can not find it where I live in Jersey. Oh, and you should not feel bad, La Saltena is so good, no one makes the dough themselves anymore. I have tried so many times and failed. Maybe, Kenjii can help?
Colombian is a great start! My family is from Argentina, but I love all Latin food. Most of our cuisine is different, but looking at how alot of latin countries make empanadas may be a good start?
La Conguita Restaurant for cuban food. It is way better then Azucar.
We are back from our vacation. Thank you all for your suggestions! We ate at Mission Chinese, which was fantastic. San Francisco was great but we were only there for one day and we ended up eating alot in and around Marin county. We tried almost all the places suggested in Marin, (Sol Food and Picco bieng some of our favorites). I do not think we would have had such a great time without all your help. Thank you again.
I love La Fusta! Next time try the spinach as a side dish. Also the tiramisu is really good. Also, the avacado salad is really, really good.
Where are you staying? The food at the Point is actually pretty good from what I remember. The fried mushrooms are great! There is a soda fountain-burger joint in Vermillion, Ohio that is really good. Vermillion is about 25 minutes from Cedar Point. In Sandusky you will find all the chains like Applebee's, etc... Depending where you are staying there are lots of good Mom and Pop places around.
Does it smell moldy? If it does then throw it out and get a new one. If not, then keep using it and it will get really dark green all over on the inside. Also, where did you get the gourd? Sometimes, the ones they sell in the states are rejects that no from Argentina would buy.
Mine has never had mold in it. The inside does get greenish-black all around. But no spots. Not sure that is okay. I would get a new one and just use it, do not cure it. Or if it really freaks you out, they sell metal containers instead of gourds. Not so tradidtional, but they serve the same purpose. Mine is metal on the outside and has a gourd-like substance on the inside. I have had mine for over 15 years. No mold spots.
I heard that some people can get a nerve disease from eating flounder. But that is rare. I am sure the dangers are rare here too. I would just poach the suckers with some nice herbs and butter and enjoy. Oh, and say a little prayer before eating, just in case.
Aladin's in Westlake. It is the original location, I think. The food is cheap and really good. (Middle Eastern). Also, I think Weber's is open. Custard place on Lorain road. Also see if the Honey Hut is open. Awesome ice-cream! Tommy's in Coventry is great. Thier shakes are really good.
Mr. Hero's in the Cleveland area. They sell the greasiest sandwiches, but there waffle fries were sooooo good. I would kill for a Italian hero with waffle fries right now.
A kitchenaid and the ability to put my freezer in a basement instead of my living roon. Yes, I have a seperate freezer in my living room. I hide it behind a screen. Good, solution so that I can buy in bulk, but sucks that I have a freezer in my living room.
I just wanted to add my best wishes to the list. Hope that all goes well.
A really good meatball sandwich. Haven't had one in years.
Thank you all for your suggestions. Especially the Wegmans location. I miss Wegmans so much. I told my husband if we see a Wegmans on the road, we will be stopping no matter what. Leaving tommorow. Thank you again!
I forgot about Marino's. They serve fried fish. My husband used ot go there all the, especially for thier "all you can eat" day. Not unique, but definately, fits the "while the cat's away" theme. My in-laws still go there every once in awhile and they say it is still good.
Love Book Loft! Great store. They have a great jewish style deli near German Village. Can't remember the name though.
Bebos! We went there everyother day when we stayed in Condado. Also Buenos Aires Cafe for Argentiean (sp?). I tried Danny's Pizza, it was okay but a little overpriced. There is also a Venezuelan place on the same street as Bebos, (opposite direction) Really good arepas. But, Bebos will get you the puerto rican food you are looking for in Condado.
In Columbus there is a place in the Short North called Zen Cha. It is a tea salon, and they serve awesome brunches and great desserts. The tea is fantastic. It is a very relaxing atmosphere. The owner and the staff know everything about the teas and what goes well with them. They have everything from bubble tea (real tea) to english and african tea. My husband went to OSU and we lived in Columbus for a year. We were just visiting last year and headed straight for Zen Cha. Still the same, still great.

I just noticed a breakfast theme here in my list. I love breakfast.
Pudding Pops, I used to only get them at my grandparents house. They were soooo good.
We always grill in the winter. When we lived in a house we had a deck and we used a gas grill. Now we live in Jersey in an apartment that only allows electric grills. We immediately bought the best electric grill we could. We just grilled out a few days ago. Just brush off the snow, plug it in on the balcony and grill.
Going back to my hometown around Labor Day and I do not have too much time. Anyone been to Beardens in Rocky River since they reopened? Also, any suggestions other then the obvious ones? ie. (Micheal Symon's places, melt ect..) Thanks in advance!
My husband and I are going to San Francisco next week and we need suggestions on places to eat. We are staying right outside the city in Mill Valley. Going into SF at least three times via the ferry over the week. Just wondering which areas are the best for getting great food that is not too expensive. Also wondering about must-go places too! We like pretty much all cuisines, except Indian food does not agree with husband. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Going to the Syracuse, NY area and need suggestions for places for lunch and dinner. We are driving so we are not stuck to one area of the city. We like almost everything except cuisine that may be overly spicy. Spicy is okay just not when you are traveling. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Looking for recipes (baked goods) I can make and send to my family through the mail that are okay for diabetics. My Mom is diabetic and I want to send a package that wouldn't make her feel left out in anyway.
Getting cold out there and some hot chocolate would be perfect. I am getting tired of the powdered "stuff" and I want to make some homemade hot chocolate. Any recipes? I am not afraid to melt down some chocolate and make my own I just don't know how, or what kind of chocolate to even buy. Also, anything that is different would be fine too. Thank you in advance.
My husband and I are going to Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown, NY next weekend and I was just wondering if anyone knew of a great place to stop and get cider in the area? Looking for either an orchard or a country market. A place that has baked goods would be great also.
csuarez hasn't favorited a post yet.
I grew up in Westpark! Spent some time in Parma too! I will try any kind of food as long as it is good. I tend to stay on the westside, as my friends still live there. But, I will happily go to the east too. thank you for the festival suggestions that helps alot.
