Great food, good atmosphere

We sat at the bar and had a really tasty dinner. The open-face sandwiches were fantastic, particularly the mushroom (don\'t get scared by the \'creamed\' part of the title - it\'s done in a wine sauce) and the pork belly. There were several other gay men at the restaurant, but you\'ll find that lots of places in Reykjavik. The service was good, though one of the waitresses couldn\'t take the scowl off her face. But go for the food - great spot.

Best pancakes you will ever have

A Hawaiian friend had told me Lihila Bakery has the best pancakes in the world, but I didn't believe him for a second. He was right. Incredible. I thought about them every morning for our stay after eating them. There are only about a dozen seats in the place, so you may have a wait if you go at a peak time. But the pancakes are worth it!

Good food, great atmosphere

Solid food. The calamari crusted in graham cracker had great sauces but was a little chewy. The pork chop was excellent, juicy. Dessert was an "Asian sundae" with green tea ice cream, caramel, raspberry compote, coconut tapioca...pretty tasty but the flavors were an odd combination. The decor and atmosphere are high-end and great. May remind you of your favorite cosmopolitan spot in Manhattan. Music gets you in the mood. They also have a great wine bar - stop by for a snack and some great wine!

Best small bar in L.A.

People compare Fubar to bars in New York, and based on the space and the feel of the physical bar they're right. But the crowd and bartenders at Fubar are much friendlier than New York bars. Dance Bitch on Friday nights is my favorite: Fun music, great host, good energy.

Fantastic old-fashioned bakery

The best bakery in Rehoboth, it's one of the best bakeries I've ever had the pleasure of visiting (and I make it a point to visit them!). Their cream-filled donuts are a revelation, but they've got wonderful danishes, muffins, babkas and other great baked goods. If you're going to endulge in some sweets, you can't do better in Rehoboth than Bake Shoppe.

Best spot for a cocktail in Rehoboth

Maybe it's the outdoor space or that it fills up while the sun is still shining, but this is my favorite bar in Rehoboth. There just seems to be a better energy than at the other spots.

Chelsea's best neighborhood bar

The bar has everything from a diverse crowd to sports on TV to lots of alcohol.

Great spot in old San Juan

The food's fantastic, the service is top-notch and the ambience is downright cosmopolitan! By far the "hippest" place to eat in the city.

Best pizza in town

Forget about the crowd and the people-watching (stop by at 1 a.m. if you want the cruisiest crowd in Provincetown), the pizza itself is really tasty.

Good go-to spot when all else fails

When there isn't a line out front, it's a decent place for a casual breakfast. The food is pretty good, but the service is hit-or-miss.

Lobster Pot is so overrated

This is the ultimate tourist destination. The food is mediocre and the place is crowded. You can get much better food -- and seafood -- elsewhere in Provincetown.

The best restaurant on Cape Cod

It's about a half-hour drive back down the Cape from Provincetown, but Chillingsworth is one of the most special places you'll ever dine. Set in a 350-year-old captain's house, the restaurant features both an a la carte bistro and a six-course fine-dining experience (the latter is incredible!). Definitely stop in early for a cocktail at the bar and say hi to Kathy. Then enjoy the truffle mac&cheese, seared scallops, grilled swordfish, shrimp 'taco' and other amaaaaazing French-California fusion food. If you're looking for something quiet and romantic, ask to dine in the Empire or Dining Rom; The Terrace offers more people-watching; The Alcove makes you the center of attention; And if you go with a group of 6 or more, the Gazebo gives you a private outdoor dining experience. Very gay-friendly.
