You all know I just spent time in New York at the Van concert. Without regaling you with how incredibly wonderful that was, I will tell you a bit about the 'extras'...
We met a very nice man at the concert. Rick, a native New Yorker, retired to Florida with his wife. She stayed home with the dog and he came up for both concerts. After the awesomeness of Van on Thursday, Rick took me and nemo to dinner. I gotta tell you, I've never had better pizza in my life. Buffy, it was WAY better than anything I ever found in Chicago, and I am telling you, you're totally right about thin crust- amazing!!

Rick took us to John's, which is somewhere near 62nd and 3rd. I'm fairly certain we could find it again. I understand there is also a John's in the Village, but we went to the one in the city. Totally awesome, and nemo is already ready to get back there. And the calamari - WOW. Really, it was just really great food, and it takes a LOT to impress me. Ask my husband, I'm just a small bit of a food snob...

Anyhow, I want to know about your secret little places, and what makes them great. We talked about 'fast' foods in the other thread, but I want to know about the 'slow' food. Tell me about the little hole in the wall that serves awesome Fettucini Alfredo (if anyone says Olive Garde, expect to be banned!). Tell me about that place that has incredible Enchilads (and don't you dare mention Don Pablo's, ok?). Rave to me about Kung Pao Chicken, and don't you dare say Panda Express! Who makes the best stromboli? Tell me, tell me, tell me!

I love to cook, and nemo loves to eat, so we work well together. But I also enjoy sitting down to a NICE meal. Tell me where YOU like to sit down...
