			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Las Vegas is not just for taking in big name shows or for playing the slot machines. Many people come to this city to get married, celebrate an anniversary or just for a romantic holiday. Romantic dining in Las Vegas is very popular and is available in all the hotels and in many of the out of the way restaurants. Try the red Rock Feats at the Red Rock Canyon Resort where there are six live-action cooking stations. This buffet is one of the largest in the city. You certainly won&#8217;t walk away hungry. Dine in candlelight at a table for two and let the rest of the world pass you by for an evening of romance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Three of the top romantic dining restaurants have been listed as:</p>
<p><span id="more-51"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">AquaKnox &#8211; This fine dining seafood restaurant features a water theme. There is a walk-in wine cellar and a large open kitchen. You are always guaranteed fresh seafood as it is flown in daily from all over the world. Crab, lobster, grilled salmon and many other delectable delights are always on the menu.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Aureole &#8211; This is easily recognized as one of the restaurants for American cuisine. It is located in the Mandalay Resort and Casino and features world class chefs. Designed by Adam D. Tihany, you will feel as if you are the only two people in the world when you dine here.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bradley Ogden &#8211; If you are looking for a new take on traditional American food, this restaurant is a casual restaurant with elegant cuisine. The restaurant seats 140 and is divided into three sections with a fireplace in the main dining. Here you can pretend that it isn&#8217;t hot outside as you snuggle up next to the fireplace and romance the night away.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Being the entrance to Fantasyland, Cinderella&#8217;s Royal Table is definitely the center of attention, standing at an amazing 180 feet tall. You will definitely feel like royalty while enjoying your meal here because this dining location also offers characters. Cinderella and friends meet and greet with you as you dine in this elegant atmosphere.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This American dining location offers breakfast and lunch as a character dining experience. Dinner is less of a character dining experience. You don&#8217;t get to dine with Cinderella and her royal friends for dinner, you only see the Fairy God Mother and she&#8217;s not available for meet greet. However, Cinderella is available for you to see in the foyer just as you walk into the castle.</p>
<p><span id="more-48"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Once Upon a Time Breakfast provides you with scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, Danish, fresh fruit, potato casserole and breakfast breads. You also have your choice of beverages like juice, coffee and milk. This breakfast will run you about $32.00 for ages 10 and up and $21.99 for ages 3-9. It might seem a bit steep, but you&#8217;re dining with Cinderella&#8230;it&#8217;s well worth it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A Fairy Tale Lunch at Cinderella&#8217;s Royal Table provides you with a family style salad and entrees such as pork tenderloin, salmon, pasta pomadore and blueberry cobbler for dessert. The prices do increase the later you dine, so lunch will run you around $33.99 for ages 10 and up and $22.99 for ages 3-9.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Dreams Come True Dinner provides you with appetizers like BLT salads, vegetable spring rolls and corn and crab soup. The main entrees consist of roasted prime rib, roast lamb chops, cheese tortellini, pork chops with bacon, pan seared salmon and much more. They also have desserts like raspberry sorbet, poached pear on angel food cake and chocolate cream cheese buckle. Dinner will run around $40 for ages 10 and up and $25.99 for ages 3-9.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Breakfast is served from 8:00am until 11:15am. Lunch is served from 12pm until 3pm and dinner is served from 4pm. Closing hours vary with the park hours.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because Cinderella&#8217;s Royal Table is an extremely popular dining location, reservations tend to book up quick. At the time of this writing, guests can book up to 90 days out and 90 days plus 10 additional days if you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort. Be sure to reserve in advance as soon as your booking window opens, otherwise you may find yourself on the outside looking in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally revealed, the top Disney dining methods I use when it comes to booking Disney dining reservations, getting dining information, prices and menus, all revealed in http://www.key2disneydining.com, a complete Disney dining guide that for the first time, uncovers how to successfully book Disney dining reservations stress free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Among the hundreds of restaurants that Disney World has to offer, there are some that are a bit more luxurious and expensive than others. These restaurants are considered to be signature dining restaurants and although they are quite spectacular, they do come with a few extra requirements.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All signature dining restaurants provide unparalleled cuisines served in an elegant and relaxed surrounding. If you purchased a Disney World dining plan, then 2 table service meals for each person dining will be redeemed from your meal plan balance. Advanced reservations are strongly recommended and gratuities are not included.</p>
<p><span id="more-45"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The signature restaurants do have a dress code. Items not permitted in the dining room include: tank-tops, swimsuits, hats for gentlemen, cut-offs, or torn clothing of any kind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Artist Point &#8211; This upscale eatery features the cuisine from Washington, Oregon and British Columbia. This restaurant draws its inspiration from the dining rooms found at National Park lodges. The restaurant provides murals, paintings and a stunning view of Silver Creek Falls.</p>

This restaurant is the perfect place for a romantic evening!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cinderella&#8217;s Royal Table &#8211; Being the entrance to Fantasy Land, Cinderella&#8217;s Royal Table is definitely the center of attention, standing at an amazing 180 ft. You will definitely feel like royalty while enjoying your meal here because this dining location also offers characters. Cinderella and friends meet and greet with you as you dine in this elegant atmosphere.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Citricos &#8211; One word sums up this dining location and its menu&#8230;magnifique! This sophisticated restaurant offers a combination of many cuisines. Citricos chefs rotate dinner selections frequently for a focused menu of American dishes inspired by the cuisine of Provence, Tuscany, and the Spanish Riviera &#8211; such as steaks, seared on an oak-filled grill, creative risotto, pastas, and seafood depending on the season.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Flying Fish Cafe &#8211; This popular restaurant features &#8220;New American&#8221; cuisine with an emphasis on seafood. You will also find poultry, beef, and vegetarian selections on the menu. They also have a show kitchen where guests can watch the talented staff prepare their meals using the freshest ingredients.</p>

The tables are covered in crisp white linens and rich, wood paneling is used throughout.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Jiko (The Cooking Place) &#8211; The heritage of Africa is certainly reflected in the decor of this restaurant. Jiko has sculptured birds that soar overhead and rings that surround the tiled columns which represent the Padaung tribe whose women wore distinctive neck rings. Their menu is influenced by the cultures of Africa, the Mediterranean Coast, India and Europe. Their expansive South African wine list is the most exclusive in the United States.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Narcoossee&#8217;s &#8211; This Victorian-style seafood restaurant sits on the shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon in an airy, eight-sided pavilion. If you make your reservation after nightfall, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Wishes fireworks show in the Magic Kingdom theme park.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yachtsman Steakhouse &#8211; This classic steakhouse has a New England theme backdrop and serves the best in quality, aged, grain-fed beef. The Yachtsman Steakhouse takes special care of children&#8217;s tastes with a menu that sports grilled chicken strips, pasta, baked fish, and grilled sirloin steak. You can watch chefs prepare your meal in the open kitchen as you relax in leather seats. This is a top deck experience for the whole entire family!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These signature dining locations are called &#8220;signature&#8221; for one important reason&#8230;each one is unique in its own way. They offer a variety of menu items from different cultures and backgrounds. So, make sure you make advance reservations, dress spiffy, and have fun when you dine at one of Disney&#8217;s Signature Restaurants.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Most people agree that New York City offers more fine dining restaurants than almost anywhere else in the world. Most of them you will find in the downtown New York City area. Greenwich Village, SoHo and Tribeca offer you more options than most people know what to do with. In this article, I will give your guide to getting the most out of New York City fine dining.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let&#8217;s start with the Tribeca area. One of the most favorite restaurants here is the Capsouto Frères. It offers both high quality service and a beautiful environment, in addition to food. Best known for its entrées, the Capsouto Frères is a charming little restaurant that is sure to warm your heart.</p>
<p><span id="more-42"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the Greenwich Village, a restaurant you must visit is the II Cantinori. It&#8217;s a very charming Italian restaurant, resembling a farmhouse with a variety of different meal preparations. Especially tasty or the pasta specialties and imported mullusk in risotto. Most people have reported very satisfactory and attentive service at the Il Cantinori.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For southwestern meals, consider the Mesa Grill. This is the restaurant of the famous chef Bobby Flay. Bold and distinctive sauces are the highlight of the meals, especially for the spice rubbed New York strip steak with a homemade Mesa steak sauce. The desserts are also highly recommended to try. And if you love tequila, you have an option of 20 different flavors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Periyali is another wonderful Greenwich Village option, also opened by the same people that started the II Cantinori. The Periyali specializes in classical Greek foods, making for excellent New York City fine dining. If you&#8217;re going to eat here, it is recommended you try either the fava or pan seared calf&#8217;s liver as an entrée. Both are excellent choices.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And for American cuisine, check out the Gotham Bar and Grill. The high ceiling dining room, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a very energetic atmosphere offers a beautiful environment, but also provides intimacy as well, because of the design. In addition to the new American cuisine offered here, it is a must that you try the wines as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In conclusion, I have given you some different options for New York City fine dining, based on a variety of different restaurants. Each offers its own special cuisines and environments. Put them on your list, and make it your goal to check them all out at least once during your lifetime.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Usually out of towners when they think of New York dining, they think of very lavish, expensive food with interior décor designed by well known star-chitects with even more well known celebrity chef&#8217;s endorsing the restaurant name.  While those restaurants (Olive, Spice Market, or all the Jean Georges for that matter) are fantastic restaurants- they should be, because outrageous sums of money are dedicated to their marketing, and management team, where the taste, quality of food is just one of the important factor in the well oiled machine that is the culinary food experience.  However, I want to highlight some of my favorite restaurants that are all a bit under the radar, and should be on your list of restaurants to hit if you are visiting from out of town.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Incidentally, in case you&#8217;re wondering, I have been living in New York for 7 years, and have tried lots of local cuisine from Asia to Africa, so I do have a palette that enjoys and recognizes ethnic foods. I should also mention that I eat out pretty regularly, about 5 times a week, but I am not in the restaurant biz, nor endorsing any particular restaurant.  Just my faves, since great food/ experiences are meant to be shared!</p>
<p><span id="more-36"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Below is the list of restaurants that I will actually leave my neighborhood on the UWS to dine at- and repeatedly dine at:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1.    Casa Mono- Tapas-</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Incredibly small space- but they do have a sister wine bar next door called Bar Jamon that allows you to sip on excellent Riojas while you wait.  This is also a really smart business tactic, so they never really lose customers to long waits.  The food is really based on Catalan style tapas, and not the northern Pinxchos variety, and it is more &#8220;done up&#8221; than you&#8217;re typical run of the mill tapas bar that serve tortillas (Spanish omelets loaded in butter and potatoes) and croquettes. They serve a mean razor clam dish, and braised short rib.  Although I&#8217;m not a fan of sweet bread (that would be brain&#8230;) it&#8217;s pretty darn good from what I&#8217;ve heard.  Décor is simple, dark woods, and ambiance is dark and cozy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2.    Sakagura- Japanese/ Sake Bar</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A completely random location in the basement in midtown east, but if you&#8217;re looking for the best braised pork belly, authentic yet exquisite Japanese street food and sake served the way it should be (not in a box, but iced in a traditional hollowed out glass server) this is where you should try.  It is in the basement of an office building, but if you go around late April, early May, it is filled with actual cherry blossoms attached to each column.  Sensational!  There is no sushi there- only prepared cooked food, and no, you won&#8217;t find any chicken teriyaki there either.  The miso eggplant and green tea truffles are to die for.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3.    Bon Chon Chicken- Fried Chicken/ Korean-</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">More of a late night spot, this K-town bar/ restaurant is located on Fifth right off 32nd, and has a seedy looking entrance with a random red velvet rope to go upstairs.  Twice I have gone and it has smelled like baby powder, but if you can get past that disconcerting smell- once you taste the fried chicken, you will never have fried chicken anywhere else.  Deep fried in olive oil, there are two flavors- garlic and garlic.  Go with either one =)  And get the spicy ones.  They also have popcorn made with cayenne pepper and raisins- bizarre combination, but really tasty.  Beer is served by the pitcher.  Other Korean food available too- but if you&#8217;re just looking for K-food- there&#8217;s more options right around the corner.  Here&#8217;s fried chicken at its best.  Incidentally, lots of non-Koreans frequent this spot as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4.    Bobo- Pan- American cuisine-</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bobo stands for bohemian bourgeoisie- it is hidden downstairs on the corner of 10th street and 7th Ave, and once you enter, you&#8217;ll feel that you&#8217;re in someone&#8217;s townhouse that you secretly wished you lived in.  I really go there because the ambiance is so spectacular which almost discredits the excellent menu there, but the décor is to die for.  Bookshelves lined with vintage books- crusty chandeliers, and a staircase clad in plaid and wool.  Very chic yet intimate.  In the summer, the outdoor garden opens up and is a real treat to out outside (sans tents).  Get the Wagyu sirloin or the seared sea scallops.  Good date spot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">5.    Morimoto- Big Box Japanese</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s easy to dislike this meat-packing, cavernous, overly loud Japanese restaurant filled with wait staff trained on ex-banker expense accounts.  Owned by Iron Chef Morimoto- filled with beautiful people (on weekdays), it happens to be a cut above the other  &#8220;Nobu knock-off&#8217;s&#8221; around the corner- Matsuri, Buddah bar, Buddahkan, Tao, or Asia de Cuba- really because Tadao Ando designed the interior.  Walking through the half semi circle door with massive flapping curtains makes you feel like you&#8217;re entering into a time warp, but sensibly done.  The large bi-level open space is utilized well by frosted/ dotted glass partitions set on an angle to maximize user space, yet create semi-intimate dining areas.  The food is, well, spectacular.  Miso glazed cod, rock shrimp tempura are the staples.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">6.    Fornino- Pizza</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Trekking to Brooklyn for good pizza hardly seems worth it, though it seems that enough people do it for that other pizza place (Grimaldi&#8217;s)- which is highly overrated owing to good PR and press.  Fornino&#8217;s is located on Bedford Ave off 7th and they make the most killer truffle oil/ mushroom pizza.  For a closer slice (in Manhattan)- John&#8217;s Pizzeria is pretty good and worth the hype, though on the wet side.  Another nod to good pizza is- Posto pizza in Murray Hill- though they recently kicked out Jimmy Fallon because he bad mouthed another establishment on Twitter with the same management- which is just really just bad for business. Every New Yorker loves Jimmy Fallon.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">7.    Peter Lugar&#8217;s Steakhouse- Steakhouse-</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anywhere where they mock you for asking for an espresso or cappuccino is legit in my book.  This place actually lives up to the hype, and isn&#8217;t laden in butter like Ruth Chris or a hit/miss like Prime 112.  There are certainly lots of great places for a slab of juicy meat in the city, but I&#8217;m listing this place as a steak house because you come here only for steak, and really nothing else though there is fish on the menu.  In addition to their steak for share, they have the best key lime pie, and tomato salad (best when loaded with the Lugar steak sauce on top!)  It used to be only construction workers, and men in blue shirts that go, but nowadays if you can get a table, its worth making the trip to BK.  They only take cash, and yes, their own credit card- the Peter Lugar credit card.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">8.    Malatesta- Italian Trattoria</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Located on the corner of Christopher and Washington, this small intimate Italian restaurant is completely no frills- and only takes cash.  The cool wait staff  all speak Italian, and they don&#8217;t take reservations- partially because they know they&#8217;ll fill their tables at any given night- and partially because they just really don&#8217;t care about making anyone a priority no matter who you are.  (They once made Christy Turlington wait behind me- what?) Pasta is simple, home made, and the way it should be.  Get the Spinach Gorgonzola Gnocchi or the rack of baby lamb.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">9.    Ippudo- Japanese Ramen, cooked food</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the heels of Momofuku Noodle Shop, and Sobaya, comes this new ramen hot spot, Ippudo in the East Village.  As much as I love David Chang&#8217;s usage of Berkshire pork in everything- his soup bases are almost too salty, and &#8220;Anglo-saxon-afied&#8221; whereas Ippudo&#8217;s house ramen gets it just right.  In addition, the pork buns are also a cut above their competitors.  Get the Shisito peppers, pork buns, and try the sake unfiltered if you&#8217;ve never had it that way before.  Plan in waiting about 90 minutes for a table, even on a Monday night.  There&#8217;s a bar across the street to get your drink on first, but it&#8217;s worth the wait.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">10.    Peasant (downstairs)- Rustic Italian</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you&#8217;ve ever dined at Peasant upstairs, you&#8217;ll realize just how much Italian you really don&#8217;t know.  Obscure phrases such as &#8220;Polpi in Purgatorio&#8221; (is that octopus in purgatory?) make you wonder what you&#8217;ve been eating all along in those other Italians places.  Food is exquisite, but lets face it, it&#8217;s easy to find stellar food at $25 per entrée, but how about the same quality food at half price just downstairs?  Peasant downstairs is literally right below the one upstairs.  You walk through these large wooden doors that are unmarked which feels like you&#8217;re entering into a bomb shelter- but once you&#8217;re inside, it&#8217;s the completely unexpected warm exposed brick and beam construction, thick heavy curtains lining the walls, and flickering candle light on each long slab wooden table that makes you feel that you&#8217;ve just entered a dimly lit Michelangelo Antonioni movie in the 1970&#8217;s.  Romantic, inviting, and the noise level at a good boisterous, but still low enough hear your friends talking.  The food is generally meant for sharing- simple salads, rustic pizzas, and a fierce charcuterie plate make this a low key, yet supremely rich dining experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Chicago &#8211; with a rich cultural background and great shopping, it is no wonder tourists are attracted to this fun-filled city. When you have high end shopping down Magnificent Mile and State Street, or beautiful Millennium Park with an ice skating rink, Crown Fountain, sculptures, and outdoor theaters with bands, where else would you want to visit. Chicago immediately sucks you in with a night life of music that ranges from gospel to hip-hop or punk. Now that you are in this great city, where do you go to eat? Well here are a few suggestions and great cultural and fun Chicago restaurants to check out while you are in town.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A Middle Eastern restaurant called the Chickpea is a great place to start on your tasting tour of the best Chicago restaurants. This diverse place is decked out in American movie posters in Arabic and Islamic patterns and decorations. Its family own and run restaurant serves up an assortment of fine dishes. Their Palestinian and Middle Eastern menu sports items such as mussakhkhan, falafel and hummus. It&#8217;s a fun little cultural experience, but don&#8217;t forget to bring cash or a credit card, they don&#8217;t accept travelers checks. They serve dinner and lunch and meals go for under nine dollars. As most reviews say, this restaurant pays more attention to the food they serve than the atmosphere. So enjoy good food and a bit a culture at this Chicago Restaurants.</p>
<p><span id="more-33"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another great one of the many Chicago restaurants to try out is the unusual Café Bella. With brick walls, an open kitchen and hardwood floors creates a mix of casual atmosphere. They serve quick lunches and dinners as a café during the week, and on the weekend, the place is full as it becomes more of a restaurant. They are open from eleven to nine pm daily. And they don&#8217;t seat more than thirty people. The menu consists of items such as salads, Caribbean Chicken, soups and Latin, Italian or French based foods. One important thing to note, this restaurant doesn&#8217;t serve alcohol, but they do have BYOB (bring your own booze). Expect the meals to be around or under nine dollars per person. This place is great for a small get together or a quick meal during the day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Looking for a great Mexican restaurant? Why not try out La Palapa. It&#8217;s a one of a kind Mexican restaurant that serves real traditional Mexican style seafood. This place is easy to find and to spot with a large life-size shark on top the restaurant. Once again this is bring your own booze restaurant, but they will cork them for you at a fee of a dollar fifty cents. Their menu contains items such as mariscos, ceviche, and handmade quesadillas. If you visit this restaurant during the summer, you will have option to eat outside at tables under large thatched umbrellas. The average meal will cost between nine dollars and fifteen dollars. The restaurant is open from ten am to nine pm and on weekends from ten am to ten pm. The menu makes this one of Chicago restaurants a must for authentic Mexican seafood.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Chickpea, Café Bella and La Palapa are just a few of the great restaurants that you can find in Chicago. If none of these restaurants appeal to you, then try and find your own restaurants online. It&#8217;s easy just search for Restaurants in Chicago and you will be able to find reviews and other information. This also works for other place you may travel to as well, like for Phoenix restaurants. There are great restaurants, just get out and find them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Never second guess a decision, embrace it; Then you will succeed.</p>
