A nice, no-seafood dinner in Tokyo?
My spouse and I will be in Tokyo soon and we'd like to go out for a nice dinner. By nice I mean not insanely expensive but maybe ~$75 each. Big caveat: no seafood, and reasonable confidence of no cross-contamination. [more inside]
What is the best food in in the WORLD in Brooklyn?
I'm not saying what's something that #27 on a world pizza list. Or really good coffee. I mean what's a food in a specific niche, that's generally, if not universally acknowledged to be the best there is on the planet AND it's in the borough of Brooklyn? Restaurant OR grocery OR food manufacturer.
Restaurants in Istanbul
Looking for good restos in Istanbul! I'll be there for a couple of weeks, so lots of opportunity to try things. [more inside]
Where in Stockholm should I eat Kalix löjrom?
While in Stockholm I'd like to try Kalix löjrom (vendace roe from Bothnian Bay), since it seems like the ideal time of year for it. I'd prefer this to be at a restaurant. I could buy a small jar or tin, but wouldn't have the means to prepare it properly at a hotel and it sounds like it needs to be kept frozen if I want to bring it back home (not going to be possible). So far all I've heard is that it's served at 'nicer restaurants'. Does anyone have specific recommendations?
Give me your best treat but not break the bank Toronto sushi
My favourite sushi place closed before the pandemic. I need a new sushi place. Tonight. I want to spend, at most $80-$100, per person, but certainly would not complain about spending less. I do not want omakase. I do not want wine. I just want great, fresh, perfect fish. Downtown or west preferred. Also happy to hear your less splurgy favourites places for more regular take-out use.

Why are some cuisines more popular than others?
I'm researching different cities, mostly in Europe and North America, and when looking at international restaurants (relative to the country I'm looking at), I find the same cuisines show up all the time, no matter the city. Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese, even frequently Brazilian, seem ubiquitous. A lot more inside (including more about food representation in cities than you thought you wanted to know).

Outdoor Dining in DC
We're getting ready for our first long vacation in awhile, in Washington DC towards the end of this month. We're still COVID-cautious and looking for recommendations for outdoor dining near the typical touristy places and DuPont Circle. [more inside]
Restaurant in New Haven, CT that served sandwiches with fries on them
I'm trying to recall a restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut, near (or near-ish) to the Yale campus that served sandwiches with french fries on the sandwich. This woulda been in the mid-to-late 90s. Anyone else remember this spot? And if so, is it still around? Would love to know!
Ideas for Pasadena
We're going to Pasadena for a long weekend, staying in the hotel where my partner's conference is held. The kid and I will mostly be on our own. Where should we eat, and what kind of activities will be low-key and fun? We'll have a car. [more inside]
Restaurants in East or West Village, NYC, with HEAT LAMPS?
Yes -- just that. Want to have lunch in a nice spot, sitting outside near a HEAT LAMP! This appears hard to search for!
Vancouver BC restaurants for birthday celebration
I'm going to Vancouver for a quick overnight trip to celebrate my birthday with my family. We'll arrive before dinner, and leave sometime after lunch the next day (but possibly after another dinner). I and one son have no dietary restrictions, but my wife is currently on a restrictive diet -- no gluten, no dairy, no egg -- and my younger son is a super picky eater (no hot vegetables :-/). Can you help us find places where we can all eat celebratory food? We'll be in the West End.
Recently verified heated outdoor gathering spots in New York City
I'm seeking casual gathering places (pubs, cafés, etc.) that serve food and/or drink, and that have truly outdoor seating, and that are suitable for groups of 6-12, and that have some form of outdoor heating such as firepits or heat lamps. Please only recommend venues where you personally have empirically verified the existence of real outdoor seating, within the last month, with your own senses. A roof plus two walls is fine, three walls is possibly okay as long as there's a lot of airflow, four walls is not okay. [more inside]

Happy new year, Mefites! Here's a fun q for the holiday: I'm traveling to Vegas with a small group in February. We need one, like, mid-level restaurant and one special restaurant (ideally a bit splashy and dressy, but chiefly: incredible food). What are your picks? [more inside]

We're staying near Millennium Park in early December and would love hearing about any personal experience with walkable things to do, places to eat, etc. I've done quite a bit of obsessing on Google Maps over the past few months, but have never been to this part of Chicago. [more inside]

Should I tip at all USA restaurants?
I certainly think one ought to tip, 20 percent when you can, at all restaurants when the food is brought to your table. But at sandwich shops and fast food places — where the waitstaff just gives you the food at the counter — does the duty to tip have the same moral weight? I’m sure seeing a lot of suggestions to that effect when I use my credit card to pay at such joints.

Sunday night dinner in or near Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver, CO?
I'm going to be in Denver and staying in the cherry creek neighborhood, and am meeting a friend who is also not from Denver Sunday evening.
What restaurant(s) would the good inhabitants of Denver recommend? One pescatarian (leaning towards veggie) and one omnivore, assume we want to stay under $100/person, but we don't need fancy
Best route to take in Iceland?
I'm traveling to Iceland in August. I have 10 days and definitely want to see as much as possible. There is so much info out there about best routes to take but it seems like Ring Road, Highlands and Golden Circle are the most mentioned.
Any recommendations on where to eat/drink (in and outside Reykjavik)? Was considering forgoing Ring Road to spend a few extra days in Reykjavik (to explore, meet people and experience the culture). Is 2-3 days enough in the capital? [more inside]

Full English breakfast on a weekday in New York?
Weekends in New York a full English isn't too hard to find, but are there any places that will do a fry up on a weekday -- specifically Friday? By full English I mean full English, with black pudding and sausage as a breakwater. Bonus points for a full Scottish with haggis.

Where should I go for dim sum in NYC on Christmas day?
Myself and two friends want to get dim sum on Christmas Day, but the place I always used to go to (Hop Shing) has shut down. Where can we go that will be very good and also open on Christmas? Ideally they would either take reservations (this seems silly to ask for, since the place I used to go to would never in a million years take a reservation), or not have a crazy wait at around 11am.

SF restaurants with real outdoor patios
I often have to visit San Francisco for errands. After completing the errand I used to enjoy having a nice meal, but because of reasons I can only do that at places that have actual-dactual patios, not the "tables on the sidewalk" setup, preferably with heaters. Suitable places are really hard for me to find though and last time I was there I just had to slink home hungry because I couldn't find a single place to eat. Could you suggest some places I could try? [more inside]

I have a milestone birthday coming up right after Christmas. My husband and I are considering a getaway in Charleston, SC the week of December 26.

Where can I eat on Thanksgiving Monday in Saint John, NB?
Can you recommend a restaurant in/near Uptown Saint John that's likely to be open on Thanksgiving? I'm taking a little New Brunswick vacation and, inconveniently, I'll be entering Canada from the US on Canadian Thanksgiving. I have a hotel booked in Saint John that night but I'm not sure to what extent restaurants and supermarkets will be open. Maybe I'm unnecessarily concerned and there will be plenty of places open?

Upscale vegetarian friendly restaurant in San Francisco?
SF Me-fites - send me your recommendations for an upscale vegetarian friendly restaurant in San Francisco.
We have a client dinner arranged for tomorrow night, and just found out that one of the client attendees is vegetarian. We of course want to make sure that we provide them a great experience! Original options were for Waterbar, Boulevard or Harborview. Our office is in the financial district, so we would like to stay close, but are happy to go a 10 to 15 minute Lyft ride if there is a great option in a nearby neighborhood.
Thanks!
Special occasion dinner in or near Aptos, CA?
I’m looking for a nice place in or near Aptos (Capitola or Santa Cruz work) to have dinner for my wedding anniversary. We’ll have our 7 year old with us, so while I’d like something good and very pleasant and I don’t necessarily need a kids menu, I’m not after super high concept. No food restrictions and would be nice if there are cocktails, though that’s not a requirement.
Where to dine in the Calgary airport?
I have a long, midday layover in the Calgary airport, and I would like to spend some of that time having a quiet, leisurely lunch. Any suggestions?
(Also, if you have a suggestion that has exceptionally good food and is not so quiet or leisurely, I would still like to hear about it).

Kid Friendly Mid/Upscale Dining in NYC
Myself, my wife and our nine year old son will be visiting NYC in August for a few days. It will be our wedding anniversary while we're out there, and we're hoping to find a mid/upscale restaurant to enjoy. My wife and I usually would splurge on a multi-course meal someplace really nice, and while our son is pretty adventurous when it comes to food (most recently he enjoyed stealing some sweetbreads off my plate), you know, he's still a kid.

I am taking my teen to LA for a week in July. We will be staying in Laguna Beach for three days to go to the art festivals, that hotel is booked.
