Are America’s Best Croissants in Princeton, New Jersey?

This is fabulous news--croissants here in Princeton! The rest of the food here is B-A-D, even for a college town.

Lunch ideas to take to work

I like some of the instant Indian foods that come in vaccum sealed pouches (I get them at Trader Joe's, but other grocery stores carry them as well.) Bring naan or rice and it makes a hot, (pretty) healthy lunch.

Sushi - Love it or Hate it?

Sushi is pointless without fresh, high quality fish. And there are towns where you just can't get it--I never bought sushi in my hometown in Michigan, and I hesitate even in my college town in New Jersey. In my experience decent size cities are the only places to get fresh enough fish for decent sushi.

Where to eat near Michigan Ave, Chicago?

Sorry, missed Christine B's earlier posting about Intelligentsia.

Forgot: if you want a true old-school Chicago meal, try Carson's Ribs near Ontario and Wells.

Where to eat near Michigan Ave, Chicago?

I second the previous suggestions of Bin 36 and Cafe Iberico.

Also try The Gage, a gastropub on Michigan Ave. across from Millennium Park. Good beer selection, interesting pub food-type appetizers, and plenty of larger plates for lunch or dinner.

For coffee downtown, definitely hit up Intelligentsia Coffee on Wabash and Randolph (just one block west of Michigan Ave)--try the cold-brewed iced coffee. Many buses run up and down Michigan Avenue, so you'll have no trouble exploring from your hotel.

What to buy, what to buy...

Forgot to mention that I just used a 20% off coupon for the 5 qt at one of the national chains--what a steal!

What to buy, what to buy...

Why not buy the more expensive dish, sell it online for closer to the retail price, then use the proceeds to buy the 5-qt dutch oven elsewhere? That is, if you really want the larger dutch oven and not the two things they have available.....
