2. List out your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location.
Shogun: Best known for their sushi (against stiff competition), they also feature tepanyaki, tempura, and more traditional Japanese dishes. I love their eel bowls. It's always busy, and you can usually expect to wait unless you slip in right at 5pm. They'll keep you happy with freshly steamed edamame, though. Yum!
PF Chang's Asian Bistro Trendy, crowded, overhyped, but I love the food there. Food with an Asian flair, rich and flavorful. I love the lettuce wraps and pad thai -- no one seems to be able to do it as well as PF Changs or their daughter fast food place Pei Wei's. Honey Chicken, or Orange Peel Chicken are tops. But nothing beats their Oolong Marinated Sea Bass.
Carlos O'Brien's, a Mexican restaurant in the original American tradition. Standard Mexican-American faire, plentiful portions, well-prepared. What I like best about 'em, though, is the chips and salsa. The salsa is fresh-made from scratch, and the chips are the lightest I've ever encountered. Gently oily, delicately salted, they serve to carry the yummy salsa to your mouth, not overpower you with corn meal.
Richardson's Cuisine of New MexicoOne of those tucked-away neighborhood haunts, Richardson's is crowded and dark. It's been popular in this city for over 15 years. It doesn't feature standard Mexican food per se, but the smokier, chipotle-driven flavors created in New Mexico. Southwestern, and innovative.
Einstein Bros It's a bagel shop. Not extraordinary as bagel-shaped food goes, but certainly credible for something not lovingly prepared by a mozel in Brooklyn. What I love about this particular place is that it's within walking distance and has outdoor seating. Every Saturday morning, weather permitting, I walk the dogs to Einstein Bros. Rope 'em to a table, get my Spinach Florentine and shmear, cuppa coffee, and a doggy bagel and dine al fresco, people watching. The pups love it because they get lots of attention and also get to bark at the designer rats on leashes some of the hoity-toitier peeps bring with 'em.

You have Carlos O'Brien's, we have Jose O'Shea's, and there's a Carlos O'Kelly's in Michigan. What's with the Mexican/Irish combo names?
We eat out once a week, but have pretty much settled on the same place as "our date night."
I'll really have to think about this one.
Wow einstein bros is something different..we dun get any bagel shops in Sydney!!!

We have a shogun branch here. I wonder if it is the same. I never did try it out yet tho :)
A freshly baked bagel and a good cup of coffee from Einstein Bros sounds cool to me
