Seattle restaurant recommendations

Looking for small, delicious, not too outrageously expensive (i.e. not the Seattle equivalent of La Grenouille), off the beaten path, if possible. Please let me know your faves - and thanks!

Vietnamese Grocery Store in Manhattan?

Some of what you're looking for may be found on W. 32nd Street btw 5th and 6th Ave in Manhattan, or (definitely) at the mega-sized Hong Kong Grocery in Flushing, Queens. There is a small Thai grocery store on Mosco St in Chinatown but I think Flushing is the most comprehensive, and your best bet.

Good & fun Greek on 44th, just west of Fifth - Kellari. Bustling and friendly, good service.

Ice Cream Cake

where do you live? Herrell's in Harvard Square makes the best. No cake, just ice cream with layers of cookie crunch or the chocolate bar of your choice layered in between..

Wow, thank you all so much! I wish my visit was long enough to take in all of these...

Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'

once tried (sober, mind you) to make chocolate chip cookies with dark rum because we couldn't find the vanilla extract in the host's kitchen. Delicious, dangerous batter... and cookies that looked like moon rocks - full of craters... and not nearly as tasty as the raw dough.

the date pudding at Etats Unis, hands down. In Brooklyn, sharing a sundae at Blue Ribbon or hoarding an affogato at al di la.

Sugar-Free Pumpkin Peeps, Not Worth the $2

a Peeps hater should not be allowed to review a Peeps product! But then again, only a Peeps hater would create SplendaPeeps. Were they pumpkin-flavored?

Cook the Book: 'Olives and Oranges'

seasoned nori (laver), or pickled green beans.

Tiramisu. I got some "to go" last night and had it for breakfast. Do I feel guilty? Yes. Will I do it again, first chance I get? Yes.

My guilty pleasure is that I can't pass up a piece of cheescake. Any kind! Plain, fancy - as long as it is cheescake...new york style, any style - love it. Thanks for this opportunity!
