Namak
Jeff and I were pretty tired having just arrived to Mumbai this morning, so to make it easy on ourselves, we just ate out at Namak the Indian restaurant in our hotel (Sahara Star). When we walked in sometime after 1pm, we weren’t even sure they were open yet since we were the first diners…

Saru
We were just looking for a low key dinner this Wednesday evening, so we decided to just dine in our neighborhood. I’m always up for sushi so Saru seemed like a good option, esp. if we could get seating at the bar. They don’t take reservations and it’s a small restaurant (I think 6 tables…

Bistro Ember
After having some wine and charcuterie next door with our neighbors Michael and Elizabeth, Andrea were just looking for someplace to eat in our neighborhood on this Friday evening. We rarely eat out on a Friday and often it’s elsewhere in the city. We started walking down to Dash which was completely packed and with…

Bodega
Andrea went to work in the office downtown so we decided to have dinner downtown. I had read about this place in the usual blogs (i.e. The Infatuation, Eater, etc.) so we decided to give it a try. It’s located in the Tenderloin on the same block as Kin Khao. Cuisine here is a modern…

Sushi Ran
Andrea had her hair appointment in Corte Madera so it was a good opportunity to run in Marin. I’m not really much in shape these days (took a nearly 4-month hiatus from running due to various illness with associated lung congestion), but getting back into it. It was a beautiful day to run and thanks…

Firehouse Coffee & Tea
We had a about 15 minutes before lunch and stopped by this cute coffee shop right next door to the local firehouse. An interesting lively mix of people here. One dude jamming out to music, a table of 4 playing a card/board game, a group of older women socializing, etc. Andrea had the honey lavender…

Smyth
I was very excited to get to spend additional time with Kristine on a sort of extended birthday celebration, especially since I’d have her all to myself this time and we’d be eating some delicious food. Kristine was decked out in some celebratory sparkles from bow tie to cuffs to shoes. I met Kristine at…

Portillo’s
We were tired of convention/event food and one of my coworkers wanted to go to Portillo’s to get a Chicago style hot dog since we were here. I was definitely game to try, so we went. Sateesh and I split the hot dogs in the Famous Meal #2 (two hot dogs, fries, drink), Tola ordered…

Alinea
I just arrived in Chicago for a work conference and only have a short few days here so tried to make the most of it. On this day of arrival, I had Alinea booked for solo dining in the Salon. Alinea has 3 tastings, the Salon upstairs (in the Tock reservation page, they call out…

Four Kings
We’re back here at Four Kings after having just dined here for the first time a fortnight ago. We showed up right at 6pm when they opened. There was a line of less than 10 people waiting in the walk-in line and we were the only ones in the reservations line with several tables already…
