New Orleans is another great food city. The bay area is rising
quickly, tho, and will probably surpass NO sometime soon. 

Any other great food cities out there? St Louis & Kansas City are
great barbecue cities...

Don't know much about the breakfast places here, except for IHOP (is it still
being remodeled?) and Baker's Square on Lombard Street, but I do know a little
about dinner.  Do you like Thai food?  If you do, or have never tried it but
would like to, there is a GREAT restaurant on 12th & Harrison (????) called
"Manora's Thai Cuisine".  AWESOME food!  I also know of an OUTSTANDING
seafood restaurant on Geary Blvd.  I think it's called "Pacific Seafood Cafe".
You get complimentary wine while you wait for your table.  The crab/shrimp
Newburg is *YUMMIE*....hmmmm....there's also "The Old Clam House" (a personal
favorite), "The Cliff House" (been there for brunch once...the Eggs Benedict
were GREAT)...also, at The Cliff House, if you're lucky you'll get a view of
the Pacific Ocean...If you don't want to go to Chinatown for your Chinese
food, I recommend "Hong Kong Restaurant" on Church Street (cross-street is
Market)..."Beni-Hana" is always fun to go to (not to mention they ALSO have
GREAT food)...2 of my fav. places from Prime Rib are "The House of Prime Rib"
(EXCELLENT cuts of meat, salad is the BEST in town...i could go on & on) and
"Henry VIII" on Geary Street (heart of the Tenderloin & not much parking is
it's only drawback)...If I think of anything more, I'll let you know...

Have fun in SF!!

I just got back from California, where I spent a week in Berkeley and,
after some sight-seeing, three days in LA.  I had known about the
great breakfast places in Berkeley for a while and was introduced to
Walter's on Canon in Beverley Hills on this trip.

So, I got to wondering, where are the equivalent places in New York?
The requirements are REAL maple syrup on the pancakes and waffles and
interesting omlettes.  Also, there must be a reasonable choice of
breads, and any place that serves grape jelly is disqualified.  Latte
would be nice, but I suspect that that is too much to ask.

Locations around Yorkville and near Columbia U. are especially sought,
but I can't think of any anywhere in town.

It's fairly informal at most Phila. restaurants. No need for
jackets and ties. 


Here's a *very* short list of Phila. restaurants I recommend

Italian: DiLullo's Centro, Garisole, Upstares
at Varalli's, Portofino, D'Angelo's

Asian(Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, some Japanese): Chinatown area

Seafood: Sansom St Oyster House, Bookbinder's Seafood House(15th St.)
          Phila. Fish Co.
Note: If you *must* go to Bookbinder's go to the one still owned
by the Bookbinder family. This one is on 15th St. at Locust. St.
Avoid Old Original Bookbinder's like the plague.

Steakhouses: Babe's, Morgan's, Ruths Chris

Cajun/Creole: Cafe Nola, Magnolia Cafe

Eclectic Restaurants: The Astral Plane, 16th St Bar and Grill, The Garden,
Judy's The Knave of Hearts, Cafe Einstein, Carolina's, Catalina's,
Mezzenote, Rose Tattoo Cafe, Callowhill


Again this a short list. You can get more detail from either
the Phila. Inquirer(daily), City Paper(weekly), and Welcomat(weekly)
and Vistor's Centers at 16th & JFK Boulevard and 3rd & Chestnut.

A bit south on Route 9 is the Ivoryton/Chester area (exits 3-4).  There are
some really great restaurants in this neighborhood.  My favorite is Fine
Bouche (in Westbrook, I believe), they have a great dinner for $37 or so, 5
courses.  There is also the Restaurant du Village in Chester, it is
somewhat more expensive.  There is also the Copper Beech Inn in Ivoryton,
which used to be great and then not so great and I'm not sure how it is
now.

In Santa Cruz, halfway between the towns you mention is an exquisite
little ungategorizable place called India Joze. They're known for
their indonesian food, and their chocolate desserts are exquisite, and
they do squid as well as it has ever been done. Fresh Monterey Bay
squid to boot. 

In Berkeley, everyone (well not quite everyone)  will recommend Chez
Panisse, and they are right. Simple fare, impeccably prepared with the
best local ingredients. 

In SF, the smoked ham at Henry Chung's Hunan Restaurant is as good as
any barbecue I've had. I'm used to eating barbecue in small shacks and
run-down inner-city buildings; to have it done so exquisitely at a
Chinese restaurant was a wonderful surprise.

The pizza thread had some recommendations for the ba that I haven't
tried. (Does Postrio serve pizza? If so, try it.) 

If you get up to Point Reyes (and what would a trip to SF be without
such a visit) try Vlad's (Vladimir's Czechoslovak Restaurant) in
Inverness. There's also a place that serves fine breakfasts up there,
if only i could remember what it is.

for post theater, i just ate at Cafe Un Deux Trois, a bistro.
it's on 44th between 6th and 7th.  they serve until midnite on
saturday night.

they don't take reservations for parties of 4, so we had to wait
about 20 minutes for a table.  but it was good.  i had chicken-florentine
stuffed with spinach.  good wine.

nice paper table cloths and crayons to draw with.

My dad suggested Cabana Carioca, a brazilian place, but i haven't
been there for a while.  i think it's on 46th street somewhere.

Dave,

One of the best areas for good and inexpensive restaurants is the Dupont
Circle/Adams Morgan areas. Adams Morgan is just up 18th St from Dupont
Circle. This area has many many ethnic restaurants, everything from A to
V (Afghan to Vietnamese - can't think of any cuisines beginning with the 
letters W thru Z :). This area is especially noted for its Hispanic and 
Ethiopian restaurants. Also, you could try Georgetown. Another area 
noted for its Vietnamese restaurants is around the Clarendon Metro
station in Arlington. Also try taking the Metro to the King Street
station in Old Town Alexandria and walk down King St towards the
Potomac River. The Fish Market on King St about 2 blocks from the river
is a good choice. Bethesda also has numerous ethnic restaurants around the
intersection of Wisconsin Ave and Old Georgetown Rd. near the Bethesda
Metro.

There aren't all that many good restaurants right in the Theater District,
according to most restaurant critics I've read.  Bot one that has a reputation
for good food and a beautiful outdoor garden  is Barbetta on 321 W. 46th St.,
between 8th and 9th Aves.  It's a moderately expensive Italian restaurant.  
The pre-theater special is $39 per person.

Outside the Theater District but just a few minutes walk away is a great
seafood restaurant, Le Bernardin, on 155 W. 51st St, between 6th and 7th.
It's maybe New York's most impressive restaurant, along with Lutece, but it's
$70 per person at dinner.  

Petrossian, a very luxurious restaurant on 182 W. 58th St. and 7th Ave.,
offers a $37.50 pre-theater French menu.  Petrossian specializes in caviar
and smoked salmon, however, and these cost a lot more.

If you're willing to take a taxi ride downtown, Montrachet on 239 W. Broadway
offers an excellent French menu for $25 per person pre-theater.  I like this
restaurant a lot.  It's friendly and moderately priced for a French restaurant
(also 3 blocks away).

The Russian Tea Room offers a $39.50 pre-theater menu.  I like the Tea Room
for lunch, not so much for dinner.  The food isn't so great, but it is 
appropriate for special occasions.  150 W. 57th, between 6th and 7th.

The Rainbow Room, a huge restaurant on the 65th floor of the GE building,
30 Rockefeller Plaza, is spectacular, and the food's OK.  The pre-theater
dinner is $38.50 per person.  It's hard to get reservations, however.

Cafe Botanica at 160 Central Park South has a $29 pre-theater dinner.  I
haven't been there, but it has a good reputation.

It's a slight Digression from the topic of California Pizzas, 
I wanted to know where in pitsburgh does one get the Pizza like
the one they make at Houston, Texas, at a Pizzeria called Star 
Pizza, This place is close to Rice University in Houston.

I have no Idea of what this pizza is called, someone told me that
it's Greek Pizza, but on checking with the local Greek restaurant
they are not aware of this.
Well the general discription is it's very very deep pan, made of
either Whole wheat or Oat, and has a very very large pile of
cheese and veges/meat. It's very large and very filling.

Well any help in it's identification and if one knows where
in Pittsburgh one can get it, would be appreciated.

It's a really nice hotel  Note, however that it is used by several
tour groups, but this shouldn't really be a problem.  Most if not
all of the American fastfood places are now resident in London
in case you get homesick.  Try a Carvery (buffet, but better) 
resturant.  The one at the Cumberland Hotel (by Marble Arch)
is very good.  The Cumberland is a great hotel too.
