What stores/chains would you drive long distances for?
- Kajikit May 16, 2014 09:14 AM
I just asked a question about the ubiquitous Trader Joes and it made me think... what stores/chains would you drive long distances (greater than 20 miles) to get to? We moved from a highly-developed urban area to a more 'small town' environment and a lot of my favourite places are now 20-30 miles away, or even further. Then I wouldn't drive more than five miles to get to the store... now I'm seriously thinking about the trek.
The closest Whole Foods is in West Palm... they just opened a new Trader Joes in Wellington... if we really want Krispy Kreme we have a choice between going up to Melbourne or all the way down to Fort Lauderdale (I wouldn't drive that far 'just' to get donuts but when DH was working in Melbourne he brought home two dozen...) and one of the few remaining World Market stores is up in Melbourne. And of course, then there's Penzeys Spices which opened a store in Orlando which is their ONLY store south of Jacksonville.
We once drove almost an hour to eat at a Sonic.
In the past we would drive about 60 minutes one way every few months to the closest Trader Joes for our preferred coffee and a few other things we could buy lots of that would keep for the time until our next trip. Since then they've opened one nearer to us.
I'll drive about once a month to a Trader Joe's that's about 15 miles away, maybe 2-3 times a year to a Wegmans that's over 30 miles away. Between the gas costs, the time, and the higher prices, it's just not worth it on a regular basis. I have hopes that in the next two years, Wegmans will be constructing a new location less than ten miles away. That would be fantastic.
Contrast those distances with how little I need to drive to my usual markets: A&P - just under 2 miles, Stop & Shop - less than 7 miles; and if I want slightly upscale, there's a King's just over 5 miles away.
You couldn't pay me to drive to a Whole Foods, but I'd drive 20 miles for a half-dozen hot Krispy Kreme glazed donuts. :)
I echo some of what divadmas said - it's not just the distance, it's also how insane the traffic is, or the convenience of negotiating the area. There are some stores east of me by about 10 miles, but I rarely travel that road as it's just far too congested, and "amateur hour" drivers prevail. I'll drive a slightly longer distance in the opposite direction to many of the same stores, but in an easier-to-travel area.
re: mcsheridan
I have to drive 15 miles just to reach any grocery store.
re: Becca Porter
We drive about 35-40 to reach civilization. It's inconvenient at times, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's a trade off.
re: Becca Porter
One of my sisters does likewise, as she's in the northeast part of NY State. I once did a 45-min one way with her for a Wegmans/BJs run, but then, she really stocks up.
But here in NJ, the most densely populated state in the country, and with some of the craziest drivers you ever *did* see, a 15 mile trip can be more than annoying.
re: seamunky
This is me. I currently will drive about 25 miles to get to the nearest Asian supermarket a few times a year to stock up on Asian grocery supplies; not the basics but some of the more unusual items (plus, I just enjoy browsing the aisles looking for interesting things to try cooking with.) I used to live in a big city with a good Chinatown, but no longer.
There is also a Wegman's near the Asian markets I will sometimes check out if I'm making the trip, mostly for their meat department. I don't find the rest of their selection all that much to get excited about.
I live in central RI. 30 miles in any direction gets me into another state or into the ocean. Guess if I wanted really, really fresh seafood, 30 miles south could be an option.
Trader Joe's (about 7 miles / 12 minutes) is my maximum for groceries. The mall is about eight miles. There are way too many great restaurants to travel outside that eight miles.
OK - Eight miles (about 12 minutes) - max.
We drive about an hour and half to Providence RI for Casertas Pizza but its always part of a bigger trip-usually for rugby gear. While we are there I hit the Italian markets but wouldn't drive specifically for that. Even with the pizza we buy a bunch to freeze so it's usually one 2-3 times a year at the most.
Honestly there is no place I would drive really far for on regular basis nor any food that would justify doing it for on a regular basis. I can't justify the time and expense. Plus with the internet there really is nothing I can't get my hands on.
All that said we will go off course for good grub. Whenever we head to MD we take a detour for our favorite BBQ place. When road tripping to ESVA we went an our out of our way for crab house we had hear about.
I drive 20 miles each way to an egg ranch but I buy several flats so I only go once every 4-5 weeks. I also pick up flats for several neighbors and they usually toss in a couple of bucks extra to help cover gas.
I won't, however, drive to Whole Foods or Penzeys which aren't much further, because it would get me into LA traffic and it would cost too much time and gas.
Other than the egg ranch I can't think of anywhere I would drive that far to unless I was going that far anyhow.
I live in manhattan and don't drive or own a car.
But i will on occassion make an "outing" of going to obscure grocery stores that take me 30-45min to get to, like Sahadi's middle eastern grocery or the great Patel brothers indian market. I go with a friend and we have lunch in the area (also obscure ethnic) and enjoy shopping the market and finding new things to try.
I thought I'd miss Costco but I don't miss it enough to re up plus the drive is 50 plus. Same with Whole Foods, no fee but it is so pricey. Trader Joe's still gets our mileage. I elaborated in the thread about driving to TJ's. Penzey's is a no brainer for me- 30 bucks gets you free shipping.
About 2 or 3 times a year we go up to Jungle Jim's in Fairfield, OH. It's worth it just for that -a 6-acre grocery with the biggest wine/beer section I've ever seen, plus the international departments. Not just "Asian" but sections for China, Korea, Phillipines, etc. and sections for Norway, Spain, Argentina... It goes on and on. The seafood department has aquariums full of live fish. Produce I've never even heard of. We make a day of it and have lunch, shop, etc. Used to tack on a trip to TJ's before we got our own.
re: NonnieMuss
sounds like a great way to spend a day!
Having driven 3.5 hours for dinner at a casual Italian restaurant and 4 hours back, I'd say that no chain is worth a trek (from home).
Having driven 2.5 hours for a visit to somewhere and the closest option is a Dunkin' Donuts, we drove 45+ minutes to the nearest Cracker Barrel. It was also because in the "highly developed urban area" we live, there is no Cracker Barrel.
Sonic and Denny's just recently showed up within the past two years somewhat near to our home. I've tried the Denny's for the first Denny's breakfast of my life, still haven't tried the Sonic, although I did have Sonic once about ten years ago somewhere down south.
TJ's, BJ's, Costco and some of the worst supermarkets around are within a short distance or our home.
Around here we drive long distances for artisanal and organic. Chains, not so much.
re: Gastronomos
We drive 3 hours to the "nearest" Cracker Barrel, and we make the trip twice a year. I load up on packages of country ham and other products to dole out between trips.
I don't really have to drive long distance to any store that I frequent weekly, all within 20-30 miles. However, if they were not as close, I would drive long distance to Wegmans and Trader Joe's.
I currently drive long distance to Penzey's but that's only an occasional trip.
re: JoeBabbitt
I'm curious -- what do you get at Yoder's that you can't find in NJ?
It wasn't necessarily a long distance, but when I was in San Jose, California a year and a half ago, I took a cab that cost almost $20 each way to go to In N Out Burger for the first time.
Completely worth it, by the way.
I also used to drive almost 40 minutes to go to Fuddrucker's on the far side of town, which used to be my favorite burger joint. Unfortunately, the quality became really inconsistent over the years, and other places offering similar-quality burgers have popped up a lot closer.
When the future Mr. Rilke and I get married, we plan move to Lancaster County. The nearest Trader Joe's will be about an hour / sixty miles away. I will happily make the trek once a month to stock up (big time).
It's just under a 2 hour drive each way to the closest Market Basket Supermarket.
I make the drive about every 10-12 weeks, spend about $800-$1000 and save about $700 over the cost of the same items in my local Stop and Shop, Big Y or Shop Rite.
Plus I get GREAT service, everything properly bagged and brought out to my vehicle and loaded. I can call in parts of my shopping order to the butcher, deli manager, fish manager of bakery and it will all be freshly wrapped and waiting for me.
We drive an hour plus to eat small town Texas fried chicken. I won't drive 10 minutes to the local Popeye's.
This thread reminds me...I discovered there's an Old Spaghetti Factory about 60 miles from me. That's a childhood favorite of mine. I might have to make the trip.
If I wasn't lucky enough to live where 4 or 5 pan-Asian supermarkets are near enough to visit while doing other errands, I'd make a special trip once in a while to stock up.
I don't know what there is about them, but I can spend a good 90 minutes or so in a large Asian market just browsing and reading labels, wondering what certain things could be used for, then googling them when I get home. When I browse, I'll usually bring a pen and memo pad with me to write things down I'd like to investigate further.
Not long ago a fellow customer asked me to reach a bottle of yakisoba sauce for her, and since she already had a few in her basket I asked what she used it for. Chow mein was her answer, she said it was the secret "something" in all good chow meins—can't say I've ever seen that in a recipe though, but I bought a bottle any way for the next time I whip up some just to see if she was right!
Costco. I used to drive 45 minutes to get to the closest one, now it's about 20 minutes. I used to drive the same 45 minutes to Whole Foods but now the nearest one is about 5 hours away. So I settle for Sprouts which is a good 20-30 minutes. But I only go there maybe once a month. Costco I go to weekly.
When I lived near Trader Joe's I rarely went there. Like maybe 1-2 times a year. The only way I'd drive 45 minutes to it would be if that was my only choice for shopping.
Most regulars here know that I'm the crazy person who would drive 4 1/2 hours each way from Memphis to the closest Trader Joe's in St. Louis.
Now I live in a small town in N. Texas and I'd starve if I relied on the local supermarket. Once a week I drive about 30/40 miles into "town" to the closest Sprouts, TJ's, Costco, etc.
Even with the time spent and cost of gas it is worth it. I get off work at noon on Friday so that's when I shop, so I miss the crowds and the traffic and the stores are well stocked. I've been doing this for almost two years.
I've never drove more than a few miles just for a chain place, and I'd like to say I never would, but if the nearby In N Out ever closed down I might need to make a 15 mile drive now and then for a burger.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
Only one word for that: Dedication.
Penzey's spices. Live in Sacramento and the Menlo Park CA Penzey's store is always included in our Bay Area day trips.
We've visited their Portland OR and Memphis TN stores on other trips.
I'm very lucky to live close to a lot of chains that I love but I would definitely drive 20+ miles to go to Wegman's. Not even a question.
Back in the day before TJ's was in Sacramento we'd include it in a trip to the Bay Area (along with a visit to Peet's Coffee).
El Pollo Loco and Popeye's. Neither are too far from my house, but traffic is always an issue.

Ron B: We have shown this movie to jail inmates, since this is based on a man who spent 15 years in prison for manslaughter, he turns his life around and tries to reach out to the neighborhood he was from.
It's rated PG-13 and there are some violent scenes, so anyone showing this movie to a group with kids under 13 may not be a good idea.
All in all, it could have a great impact on those kids who have come from rough backgrounds or that think they may be missing something by being a Christian and never having the "experience" of a secular lifestyle.
As any movie goes, you may have to watch this for yourself, to really get an idea if the youth group, in your church is ready for this.

My review of Hillary Clinton's Hard Choices has just been published by Public Service magazine.
How to keep the United Kingdom (sort of) together
Okay, panic over, here's the answer to the West Lothian Question.
England is going to get its own parliament one way or another, so let's have a proper parliament and not a rump group of Westminster MPs doing a spot of English legislating in their spare time. That means an English prime minister and cabinet, accountable to an English House of Commons – an English government in name as well as practice.
The governments of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would have power over the same things – basically everything except those powers they agree to share through the UK (pretty similar to the "Devo Max" deal offered to Scotland at the last minute, as the union seemed to be slipping away).
For the UK, we directy elect the UK "prime minister" (best not say "president" while my fellow citizens retain their sentimental attachment to the House of Windsor – but how about "President of the Council" for those who, like me, enjoy finding new uses for old things?). He or she would head a small cabinet dealing with UK-wide matters, which we could call the Council of State (or even the Privy Council if you like – sorry, can't stop myself).
I'm not convinced we would even need a UK parliament. We would have four perfectly good parliaments already, and how many parliaments does one small archipelago need? There wouldn't be much UK legislation – most laws would be domestic matters – so what there is would have to be ratified by all four parliaments (and hence, in practice, negotiated first – what a novelty!). A less stringent alternative would be to have all four parliaments "meeting together" as the UK parliament (they don't have to be physically in the same place – we have the technology for that). You could have some sort of weighting system, so that England gets more say than the smaller nations, but not 85% of the say.
There you have it: no cumbersome regional assemblies in England that no one wants; no asymmetric distribution of powers storing up trouble and sowing instability for the future; no Barnett formula; no ridiculous "double-hatting" by the UK prime minister dabbling as England's PM two days a week (what happens if the UK prime minister is a Scottish or Welsh MP?); no paralysis in England when the UK government lacks an English majority; no need for increasingly meaningless Westminster elections (with ever dwindling turnouts) in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. And no need for any resentment – it's a voluntary union and everyone the same powers over their own affairs.
Of course there are a lot of detail to be worked out, but I can't see any serious problems. My biggest headache is where to stick the UK prime minster, assuming the English PM bagsies the keys to Number Ten… You know, there must be a lot of room in that big grey building at the end of the Mall.
Radical Uncertainty – my new blog
Radical Uncertainty was born of my frustration with the unthinking and unimaginative way economics is covered in the mainstream media. The economy, business and the world of work are usually treated as if they are the private concerns of economists, business moguls and financial "experts", and nothing to do with the rest of us…

Machiavelli and his half-blood Prince
I've just caught up with Alan Yentob's BBC documentary on Machiavelli and The Prince, broadcast (I think) around Christmas. Old Nick is going through something of a rehabilitation at the moment (Jonathan Powell has recently published a sympathetic "updating", for example) at the hands of our plutocratic elite, who are increasingly confident and willing to openly flaunt their Machiavellianism. Boris Johnson's remarks last year about greed being good and rich and poor deserving their lot was another example of this tendency.
Taken on its own, The Prince is a horrible book, but one perfectly in tune again with the age. One of Yentob's contributors made the point that we're living through times remarkably similar to those Niccolò Machiavelli lived through at the beginning of the Renaissance: intense but futile competition for power, instability, a collapse of old certainties, widespread fear about security, and a bunch of unscrupulous rulers of dubious competence.
It's an age of turbulence and Machiavelli's harsh message strikes a chord with many. Not least those in power, to whom it offers a virtual carte blanche to behave as they see fit if they can get away with it. "The common people," Machiavelli wrote, "are only interested in appearances and results." But what are these "results" and why should a Machiavellian ruler care?
Machiavelli's fans — always most plentiful among the rich and powerful — contend that he is "only telling it the way it is". Like it or lump it, people really do only care about themselves, and experience shows it is better to be feared as a leader than loved (obviously no one told that to Nelson Mandela). But for me it's never been really clear what all this Machaivellianism is for. Often boiled down to "the ends justify the means", Machiavelli's thinking in The Prince seems to lack any concept of the common good. What are the ends exactly? Sometimes he talks (in striking echo to today's leaders in the US and UK) about the "security of the state", but this often means little more than the leaders own personal interests.
Machiavelli's is an impoverished view of human nature. Even if it's true to some extent of all of us, it's not all that we are. Yes, we all want power and control over our own destiny, not everyone wants the same destiny, or sees the means of pursuing it as irrelevant to the value of acquiring it. He assumes everyone wants to live in a perpetual state of competition. This may suit the story of hyper global capitalism, but I don't think it's how most people want to live their lives.
The Prince is a book born of despair, written by a desperate man just released from prison trying to ingratiate himself with the new Mr Big in Florence, Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici. It leaves no room for love or kindness, or for the idea that the people might want to collaborate (or any other "idea" for that matter). Machiavelli knew a lot about one aspect of human nature and one aspect of power, but he either knew nothing about the other half, or chose not to express it in The Prince. Probably, every politician needs a bit of Machiavelli. But Machiavelli's Prince, and Powell's "new Machiavelli", would be half a politician and, worse still, a bloodless half of a human being.
(Incidentally, Machiavelli emphatically did not take his own advice. Shortly after writing The Prince, he retired to his vineyard outside Florence and lived a quiet life writing books and plays. You can still buy his wine – I imagine it leaves a bitter taste.)
Andrew Rawnsley wrote on Nelson Mandela: 'His ego was pressed into the service of an idea, not self'. Machiavelli has nothing to say about ideas and, for him, self-interest is the only thing that a prince should concern himself with. But there is low scheming and there is scheming in pursuit of an idea, what Rawnsley called Mandela's 'classy cunning'. Ultimately, what's wrong with the Machiavelli of The Prince is not that he thinks the means don't matter (although they do a bit, because bad means can tarnish good ends), but that he doesn't think the ends matter much either.

My review of David Torrence's The Battle for Britain: Scotland and the Independence Referendum for Public Service Magazine, Spring 2014.
A new Bambi or a new Speedy in the Matignon?
Manuel Valls, France's new prime minister, is often compared to Tony Blair. He even describes himself, without apparent irony, as "Blairiste". Surprisingly, this hasn't done him much harm. In recent months, Valls has emerged from relative obscurity to become by far the most popular member of France's embattled Socialist government.
Like Blair, he comes from the right of a left-wing party. Like Blair, it's the issue of crime that brought Valls to political prominence. Blair made his name with his "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" slogan as shadow home secretary in the early 1990s. As interior minister since 2012, Valls has revelled in his role as France's premier flic ('top cop'), and ruffled the feathers of his socialist comrades with his generally hawkish approach to crime and immigration. And like Blair, Valls likes preaching the virtues of free market capitalism to a party that remains very suspicious of its vices.
Valls was even endorsed by the free marketeers' house rag, The Economist (also an early fan of Blair's) when he ran for president in 2012. This didn't impress Parti Socialiste activists much: he got just 6% of the vote in the party's primary
To me, a more useful comparison would be with Hollande's predecessor as president, Nicolas Sarkozy. Valls's energetic, media-savvy image, evokes Sarkozy's time as interior minister under Jacques Chirac, when he earned the nickname "Speedy". Valls has enthusiastically adopted Sarkozy's ultra-aggressive style. Hollande, announcing his appointment on Monday night, was playing this up when he said Valls's administration would be 'a government for combat'.
Both as mayor of the depressed Paris suburb of Evry (Essonne) and as interior minister, Valls has endorsed — and even stepped up — Sarkozy's policies on immigration and crime.
Valls took a lot of flak over his support for cops in their heavy-handed deportation of a 15-year-old Kosovan schoolgirl from France last year. Tough new immigration rules and quotas, introduced by Valls, build more in Sarkozy's legacy than Socialist Party principle. His remarks on Roma people — "these people have ways of life extremely different to ours", and claims that it was impossible for most Roma to integrate into France, echo similarly controversial remarks by the former president.
(Interestingly, like Sarkozy, Valls is of foreign origin himself. Sarkozy was famously the son of Hungarian immigrants, while Valls is a Catalan, born in Barcelona, who did not become a French citizen until he was 20.)
Valls's appointment sets the seal on Hollande's "tournant social-démocrate", his supposed shift towards pro-market and austerity-based solutions to France's economic woes. While Valls is hard to pin down on economics (he's certainly more "left", as we Brits would understand it, than Tony Blair, although not necessarily more so than Sarkozy) there's no doubt Valls is a more credible frontman for Hollande's "responsibility pact" — his pledge to cut France's deficit in line with EU demands — than the outgoing Jean-Marc Ayrault.
Valls is an enthusiast for austerity. He has supported the idea — floated by Sarkozy himself — of enshrining the need for a balanced budget (France hasn't had one since 1974) in the French constitution. Valls's enthusiasm for "TVA sociale" — shifting some of France's social insurance charges onto VAT — is another a policy which finds more favour in Sarkozy's party than his own.
He has also been critical of France's 35-hour working week, introduced by Lionel Jospin's Socialist government in 1998, which remains a talismanic policy for many French Socialists. The policy was also a frequent target of Sarkozy's ire, although he never got round to doing much more than moaning about it. In true Blairite style, Valls talks about "flexisecurité" — a vague and meaningless blend of protection against unemployment and making it easier to sack people.
The appointment is not without risks for Hollande. Valls is loathed by many on the centre and left of the PS and has little real power base in the party. The Greens have threatened to leave the government over his appointment. And everyone knows, like Sarkozy, Valls is murderously ambitious.
Sarkozy's noisy campaigning for the presidency was a constant pain in the backside for Chirac after the president passed over his interior minister and appointed the donnish Dominique de Villepin as prime minister in 2005.
In sending Valls to the Matignon, Hollande has perhaps been shrewder, and tied Valls's political fortunes to his own. Yes, the president has a big problem in 2017 if his ambitious prime minister is successful. But he has an even bigger one if he isn't.
False economies
Healthcare Manager, Spring 2014
My piece in Healthcare Manager asks why we think of healthcare as a burden on the economy and not as a productive part of it.
Thumbs up for the real digital revolution
Saint Denis was beheaded on the hill looming over northern Paris now known as Montmartre. The legend is that he picked up his own head and carried it several miles north, before finally collapsing and expiring on the site of the present day suburb that bears his name.
It's to Saint Denis that Michel Serres compares future generations of human beings in this remarkable little book (barely 90 pages long). Petite Poucette ("little thumb") is his female avatar for today's young people who, with their dextrous digits, carry their heads — their knowledge — on laptops, mobiles and tablets. This is changing everything, not just the way we learn, do business and enjoy ourselves. It's changing human nature itself, and just as importantly, the way we live together.
I've been a Serres fan since writing about him in my very first blog three years ago. His reasoning is razor-sharp, and he writes with the radical clarity of someone very young and the wisdom of someone very old. Yes, he's 83, French, and professor of something very intellectual at Stanford. But he's no grumpy old don whingeing about porn-addicted kids with minuscule attention spans and the world going to hell in an online shopping cart. Believe it or not, Serres is optimistic about the future.
You might think only a conservative could be optimistic at the moment, but Serres reckons that if the powers that be aren't trembling yet, it's only because they don't understand what's hit them. "I see our institutions shining with a brightness similar to that of constellations that astronomers tells us have been dead for a long time," he says.
With knowledge freed, existing power structures will crumble. It starts, says Serres, with education.
Why sit listening to a tired teacher reading "approved" excerpts from a book, when the whole book is out there, freely accessible from anywhere, at any time? Why accept the established interpretations when you can read and discuss the comments of thousands if not millions of people who've read it and thought about it?
Why sit with your 'arse parked' in serried ranks, when you can sit in the park, on the beach, in the pub? Why listen to this single narrow conduit of knowledge and power (the teacher at the lectern) when the whole world of knowledge is there in your hands? And why bother learning facts when you can bring them up under your thumb? The minds of Petite Poucette will be free to think and have ideas instead of being clogged up with remembering second-hand information.
This, says Serres, is the true birth of the individual. 'Grumpy adults' may see this as "selfish", but weigh that egotism against where the "libido of affiliation" has got us in the last 100 years. In the name of abstract collectives like the nation, race and religion, hundreds of millions have died. Individuals rarely ask this of each other. And no one was ever asked to die for a virtual community.
"To no longer build a community on the massacre of another or of oneself — this is our future life set against your history and your politics of death," replies Petite Poucette.
And are the virtual communities young people have created any less "real" than the ones we have been taught to value? 'We adults have succeeded in creating no new social connections,' says Serres. The "community", the nation, the church, school, family, class, the market — where do they stand today? To Petite Poucette, they are just 'abstractions flying overhead like cardboard mascots'.
Are the British and French "nations" any more "real" than a Facebook group? Do we "belong" to a social class, or the company we work for, more than the online communities we choose to join?
For thousands of years, from the pyramid of Cheops to the Eiffel Tower, the 'global form' of human society has been broad at the bottom and narrow at the top, with power, wealth and the control of knowledge concentrated in a few hands. New technology is set to change that, perhaps within a generation, says Serres. The real revolutionaries are not the inventors of this technology, but the users. They will turn the world upside down.
It's a striking view of the future, both optimistic and disturbing at the same time. But unlike the zombie ideology of free market capitalism, young people don't have to sit back and take it. It's something that they can shape for themselves. Serres has no fear. 'I'd like to be 18 years old,' he says, 'because everything is to be remade, everything is left to re-invent.'

Lobster, out of the shell
I know this is a bland request, but I'm having a brain cramp... I have a friend in town who wants lobster, but is not excited about the whole shelling thing.
I know any of the steakhouses will de-shell it, but are there suggestions for somewhere more interesting? Unfortunately, I'm not a seafood fan, so Neptune/B&G are lost on me. Other suggestions? Chinatown/ethnic suggestions are ok, dives are ok., but he might be looking for the more "lobster" experience.
Downtown/South End/Back Bay/North End are probably best. Thank you!
that's sometimes called lazyman's lobster, where all the claws and such are cracked so you just need to pick out the meat. most better places, from hammersley's to clio, will have some sort of lobster on the menu, not in the shell. they can, however, be spendy.
not sure what you mean by "lobster experience", but places like legal's do a perfectly serviceable steamed lobster and the staff will give your friend some shelling guidance. it's not hard, but can be messy. or fun, depends on your friend, lol.
Interestingly enough lazyman's lobster seems to have pretty much disappeared from most menus. Amrheins in South Boston had it on as a special most of last winter and their version is pretty good. It seems as though most restaurants have made the switch to lobster mac and cheese. Maybe a nice lobster fradiavolo in the North End would be a good choice?
Amrheins Restaurant
80 W Broadway, Boston, MA 02127
re: Pegmeister
op could also request the kitchen crack the lobster for them. lots of servers can't do it quickly enough, but a line cook will do it in flash.
re: dtremit
The SS pan-roasted lobster is still almost as much work as a "regular" lobster. Not sure if they will otherwise serve lobster lazy-style.
re: Science Chick
Abe and Louie's also has a couple of "out of the shell" lobster preparations.
I serve at Legal's, and we are often asked to de-shellify the lobsters for our guests. And we do, tableside.
There's an article in this weeks Boston Phoenix: Jade Garden Seafood Restaurant.
Thanks for the suggestions. We ended up at Grill 23 (I know I was looking for alternatives to the steakhouse, but I couldn't get him to go for the Chinatown option--he wanted the whole dipping it in butter thing). The meal was very good, if pricey, and the room is indeed deafening. I've sat upstairs in the past, so I always thought those comments were exaggerated. Nope, it's loud. Also, there was a lot of salt. I happen to love salt so it wasn't a problem, but I noticed the butter with the bread basket was quite salty, the mushrooms were salty, even the crust on my (really tasty) dry aged steak was salty. The "truffle tots," though, were not. They also weren't all that truffle-ish, and didn't really work for me.
Anyway, I hadn't been there in years, and probably won't be back for awhile, but I enjoyed it. Thank you for the other suggestions--I'll keep them in mind for the next visitor who just has to have lobster.
Grill 23 & Bar
161 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA 02116
re: grant.cook
I believe the OP said he is not a seafood fan and was looking for something they could BOTH eat. AAR, looks like they ended up having a good time at Grill 23.

Chinese Food for LA Visitor
Just got in from the West Coast and hit Manhattan with reservations and lists of "Must Go" restaurants for the next week. All of a sudden my wife wakes up and says, "I feel like really good Chinese food". Went on Zagat and the selection was meager and comments on the better restaurants were not good. So when in doubt I turn to my Chowhound brothers and sisters for the "Right Stuff'. I leave it up to you - Really Good Chinese Food in New York?
re: LFeinberg
thanks, I'll look them up now!
fung lung bakery on mott street has the bet char siu buns--just as good as sam woos in la--how i miss their places...................i do not remember the name of the place, but at the next block south from fung lung, on the corner on the right hand side is a simple place with great dim sum/yam cha--i'll meet you there!!!
I think this post will help, it has lots of recommendations in it.
re: Brian S
Thanks - Wow - a wealth of info-------Your the best!
Well, for an outstanding snack, try Prosperity Dumpling at 46 Eldridge St. This is the best of Manhattan five-for-a-dollar dumpling joints, IMO, and also has amazing sesame pancake bread and brilliant hot-and-sour soup.
But for "real" restaurants, your best options are in Flushing, Queens. That's the real NYC Chinatown. It's worth the journey. Here are some useful threads, some of them featuring L.A. visitors or transplants desperately hunting for anything as good as you can get in the San Gabriel Valley.
And here's something unusual -- Korean fried chicken:
Also, while you're here, be sure to visit Sripraphai in Woodside, Queens (although some would argue that greater L.A. has equally good Thai places). Note that it's closed on Wednesdays, though.
In Manhattan, try Super Taste on Eldridge and Canal (just south)...they have the lanzhou hand pulled noodles (run by fujian people), they're very good and a bit different than most of the types of chinese food in LA (I'm from LA although there are some places serving similar stuff)...just remember is a hole in the wall restaurant in case you're looking for something niceer
Get the spicy beef noodle and an order of fish balls, dumplings are reasonable too (though I'd hold out walk north on eldridge and go to either Prosperity or Dumpling House for better dumplings)
The food in SGV is light years better than the food in Manhattan chinatown although Flushing has excellent chinese food (I'd say SGV is still better, but I've grown to like Flushing alot)...Flushing maybe worth the trek if you take the LIRR (only takes 15 mins)
re: Lau
I prefer the "hand-pull noodle w. Pork Bone in Soup" to the spicy beef, though both are excellent.
I disagree about Manhattan Chinatown, but de gustibus non disputandum.
re: Lau
Everything Lau says is true. If you go to Manhattan Chinatown and avoid the tourist food, you'll get food better than LA Chinatown, but nothing compared to the San Gabriel Valley. In New York Chinatown, I prefer the restaurants in the Fujianese section of Chinatown, the portion east of Bowery. There's a bunch of seafood restaurants on Division Street that are quite good. Also all of the 5/$1 dumpling places are something completely different from the L.A. area. The core Manhattan Chinatown does have decent Shanghainese food (e.g., New Green Bo, Yeah Shanghai, Joe's) where we have to go out to San Gabriel and points east to find. And Cantoon Garden (22 Elizabeth), East Ocean (53 Bayard) and Chanoodle (79 Mulberry) do have satisfying Cantonese fare.
Er, having grown up in LA and then lived in NYC for 10 years (now back in LA again), I really don't think there's anything to compare in Manhattan to what you'll find in the SGV.
That being said, the places I found were better options in Manhattan were Big Wong and Dim Sum a Go Go (both in Chinatown), Joe's Shanghai in Chinatown for XLB in a pinch, and Our Place on the Upper East Side.
re: mephisto
Does the New York subway stop near there?
re: Brian S
Doesn't matter. It's tourist food anyway.
re: Brian S
thanks - I got that!
Please consider skipping New York Chinese unless you're willing to travel out to Queens. Manhattan's chinese offerings unfortunately pale in comparison to what's available in LA (even West LA, imo). The only thing I might recommend to an Angelino is soup dumplings at places like Joe's or New Green Bo. If you're dead set, you might also take a look at some of Brian S's posts. We disagree about the relative quality of Chinese in LA and NYC, but he's definitely managed to find some gems over the years.
PS: You might also get a kick out of the fried dumpling places people have mentioned. My favorite is Dumpling House on Eldridge at Broome.
re: a_and_w
The bottom dropped out of the Westside Chinese market, sad to say. J.R., Royal Star and Unicorn Inn are all gone, VIP Harbor way downhill. It's depressing.
As some others have stated already, I think you'd be best advised either to avoid Chinese food in New York or to go to Flushing, and since Flushing is in Queens, you should read through posts on the Outer Boroughs board and post for some recommendations. You'd be less likely to be disappointed if you focus on cuisines New York does better than LA, which probably wouldn't be anything East or Southeast Asian, nor obviously Mexican food.
If you want Chinese food, perhaps in picturesque Chinatown environs, why not Amazing 66? Been many posts on this restaurant, and I've had some great meals there; cantonese cuisine, and actually a classy-lookin' restaurant as well. not exactly chowish like the eldridge street joints, but a great place to have a meal.
To all those who said you can do better in the San Gabriel Valley, please please tell me where, replying to this post on the LA board:

One of the best things about kebabs is how quickly they cook. Even those that need a lengthy soak in marinade can be made the night before, and then skewered and broiled or grilled. The rubs and marinades in the following five recipes are all quite flexible, so you can change up the protein and keep things interesting all year long. (Go ahead and thread chunks of veggies onto the skewers, too -- anything that will hold together on a stick and that cooks in about the same amount of time it takes to cook the protein works.) Just don't forget to soak your wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking your kebabs to prevent burning.
Citrus Basil Shrimp Kebabs
source copy
Thanks to citrus and basil, this marinade is so fresh tasting it's perfect for summer. (It's delicious on chicken, as well). Serve with simple sautéed spring greens in the spring, or Sauteed Kale and Brussels Sprouts with Bacon in the fall.

Chicken Tender Skewers with Spiced Curry Rub
Katie Workman
These chicken skewers have a nicely intense Indian-inspired spice rub coating, and would be lovely served with rice or mashed potatoes.

Scallop and Pancetta Kebabs with Balsamic Glaze
Katie Workman
The tanginess of the balsamic vinegar in this glaze plays well against the sharpness of the mustard and the sweetness of the brown sugar. Little slivers of pancetta interspersed between scallops add a sly, salty hit. Serve with Pasta with Ramps, Edamame, and Sugar Snap Peas in a Light Parmesan Cream Sauce for a very beautiful and sophisticated dinner. (Not a fan of scallops? The glaze is lovely on chicken, cod, salmon and pork, too!)
Get the recipe for Scallop and Pancetta Kebabs with Balsamic Glaze
Mustard and Maple Pork Kebabs
Katie Workman
These kebabs have a lovely hit of sweetness from the syrup, but mustard and the rosemary add earthiness. These are a good weeknight dinner, as you can marinate the cubes of pork overnight, and then skewer and grill or broil them just before dinner. A simple baked potato is the perfect accompaniment.

Asian Beef Kebabs
Katie Workman
These are tender and flavorful, and with a big pile of rice and a heaping bowl of salad with Japanese Restaurant Salad Dressing, it's a great, easy weeknight dinner.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas wedding chapels are seeing a spike in traffic as couples try to land a memorable 11/12/13 wedding date.
The Clark County clerk's office issued 1,399 marriage licenses in the four days leading up to Tuesday. That's a 28 percent increase from the same four-day period last year.
Clerk Diana Alba says the number of licenses is nowhere near what it was during the record-breaking days before July 7, 2007, when the calendar turned up lucky triple sevens.
But she says couples tend to gravitate toward dates like 11/12/13 that are easy to remember, or fall near a three-day weekend.
Unusual weddings around Sin City on Tuesday included a couple that got married on a motorcycle, and another pair that had a six-tier wedding cake made out of hamburgers.

Egypt, supported by Saudi Arabia and UAE, to host international economic conference in March
CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's prime minister says his government will host a three-day international economic conference in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh starting March 13 to support the country's economy.
Ibrahim Mahlab said Saturday that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are partners in organizing the gathering. The two Gulf countries are strong backers of Egypt, doling out billions of dollars to support President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi's government.
Mahlab said the conference aims to attract international institutions and countries to invest in a "new Egypt." He said his government aims to amend investment-related laws before the conference. He said the aim is to raise Egypt's annual economic growth to 3.8 percent. It has hovered around 2 percent since the country's 2011 revolt.
Mahlab's government already partially lifted state fuel subsidies.

New Virginia voter ID requirement passed

Updated On: Feb 21 2013 04:39:38 PM CST
Virginia voters will be required to bring a photo ID with them to the polls starting in 2014.
Despite Democratic protests saying the bill excludes vulnerable voters, the Republican legislation passed in the house with almost double the required votes.
Republicans say the bill only ensures that people entitled to cast ballots do so.

Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera can't wait to experience life on tour with Manchester United when the squad travels to the United States later this month.
The Reds' two new signings are both set to be involved in Tour 2014, presented by Aon, after completing their moves to Old Trafford last week. Shaw told MUTV: "I can't wait to meet everyone and get started. It's something I'm really looking forward to."
During the trip across the pond, Louis van Gaal's United team will take on LA Galaxy in Pasadena, AS Roma in Denver, Inter Milan in Washington DC and Real Madrid in Ann Arbor.
Shaw was recently in Miami for England's World Cup warm-up match against Honduras and is looking forward to returning to the States with his new club.
"I really love America," he enthused. "When I was younger, I went to a tournament out there in Dallas. It's a great country - with nice weather too!"
Ander Herrera concurred, adding that he's also relishing the chance to face some big-name opposition.
"I'm really excited to go with United to America," he said. "We will play some big games against Roma, Inter Milan and Real Madrid. It will be a dream for me to pull on the United shirt against them."

37 Collingham Place Reviews
The quality of care we received while staying at Collingham Place was beyond exceptional. The staff were inviting and friendly and went out of their way to help us (it had been raining so we had to arrive early and they checked us into a room quicker and even gave me a hairdryer to use). The conditions of the room were one of the best we have ever seen at that price it was clean and furnished perfectly. We would definitely recommend stay at this London hotel and would 100% return ourselves
37 Collingham Place was pleasant. However, there is no venting system in the toilet. I do feel it is a bit overpriced. Overall, it's okay for a short stay
I stayed at 37 Collingham Place last summer and had a great stay. Loved wandering around Hyde Park that's only 15 minutes walk away and chilling out with a 'free' tea in my room watching TV on my flat screen! Home from home.
I have never stayed anywhere so dirty. I felt like we were squatting for the night at 37 Collingham Place. It was noisy, dirty and the shower didn't work properly. The shower was dirty too; you wouldn't want to get in it. Mould everywhere! Cables everywhere! The fridge didn't work! Overall, disgusting.

Baby gas and constipation
Baby gas relief is not an easy problem because no one seems to know why some infants have gas problems. "My baby has gas" a common statement made by many mothers. Every baby has excessive gas at some point in their infancy, but why some babies develop pain and have difficulty with it is a mystery. Gas in babies is a normal physiological event and even occurs in adults.
Gas is usually harmless expelled and is more of a social issue but in some infants, gas causes abdominal distension, bloating, vomiting, pain and constipation. In general, babies who are breast fed appear to have less gas problems than babies who are given formula. Causes of excess gas in babies include foods eaten by the mother such as dairy products, excess acidic foods, soy, peanuts, fatty foods or cruciferous vegetables. In formula fed babies the same foods can cause excess gas.
There are hundreds of treatments for excess gas and there is no one treatment which works in all babies. Babies' gas is not usually treated medically but with a change in diet, comfort care and sometimes with the use of laxatives.
The treatment of gas pain starts at home with a common sense approach. many mothers end up in the emergency rooms complaining that their baby has gas. In fact there is no medical or surgical treatment for gas. Keep a diary of the foods the baby is given and eliminate foods that cause problems. Burp the baby during and at the end of each feed. Feed the baby in an upright position and do not overfeed.
Sometimes the baby may need comfort and soothing and this may be done by holding the baby close. However, there are some babies who just won't stop crying and remain fussy. In such cases one may use sugar water. Other therapies recommended for gas includes use of simethicone which can help one expel gas. Other products on the market to help gas include essential oils, herbal extracts, sodium bicarbonate and numerous homeopathic formulas. In most cases, gas problems are best eliminated by avoiding foods and comforting the baby.
All parents should be aware that while babies' gas is usually a harmless condition, there are times when the infant may have something more sinister inside the abdomen. Therefore, any baby who continues to cry and has abdominal distension needs to be seen by a physician.
Finally, remember sometimes baby gas relief is not the problem, but hyperactive parents who simply won't relax and chill out.
