and I are doing the tourist thing.
\_ I thought the Empire State Building was much better than I
expected it to be. The museums are all stellar, especially the
Met, MoMA, and Natural History Museum. Lots of good
plays/shows/concerts. Top notch restaurants. Worth seeing the Statue

for a few days Thanksgiving Week. Any recs on what to do, where
to stay, what to eat. All I know about is going snorkeling.
Also in Miami for a day and half, if you have any recs there.

2009/4/21-23 [Recreation/Food/Alcohol] UID:52887 Activity:nil | 4/21 Which restaurant allows bringing your own wine bottle?
\_ McD's usually seems cool with it. Homeless winos do it all the time.
\_ Most restaurants that serve wine will let you with a corkage fee.
\_ But unless you are bringing a high end wine it is considered
a bit tacky to bring your own.
\_ Would a bottle of Yellow Tail be considered high end enough not

based on its stellar repuation. She called it 'The PF Chang's of
Vietnamese food'. Has it really gotten that bad or does she have
her head up her ass?
\_ Head. Ass. Up.
\_ Ya that's exactly it. But it's so much more expensive, I think you'd

2009/4/7-13 [Recreation/Food/Alcohol, Recreation/Food] UID:52821 Activity:kinda low | 4/7 Where can you get good food for $10? I went to an Italian restaurant
last night. Pizza/pasta was only $13 or so, but with an appetizer and
dessert the meal was over $50 (no drinks, 17% tip). And it was ok food,
with homemade gnocchi but didn't taste like anything that you couldn't
make at home with a little effort. No comparison to actual good Italian
restaurants (e.g. Bar Bambino, Delfina, SPQR) that are in the $30-50/pp

2009/4/3-12 [Recreation/Food/Alcohol, Recreation/Food] UID:52794 Activity:high | 4/3 A few days back someone was advocating going to good restaurants over
saving money. I'm curious, I've never been to a really expensive
restaurant. (Over $30 per person.) In general I've found that once I
get beyond about $10 the food doesn't get any better, instead I start
paying for stuff I don't care about, like "atmosphere." Which
basically means I've rarely been to a restaurant where the food
