New York (Downtown Tribeca) - Indian - Spice Grill

I went to the Spice Grill for lunch since they offer a cheap buffet for only $9.99. The price is pretty good for buffet style but came with limited choices. They pretty much serve curry chicken, goat and nan which are all common and expected. The decor is kinda plain, and the service was okay...nothing much to say. One thing though, you have to use the same plate for your entire meal so no more clean dish on the second round...third or fourth. It's a good way for the restaurant to control customer's food intake. I would prefer to go Saalam Bombay which is about 4 blocks away from Spice Grill. The decor is elaborate and restaurant offers different dishes all for $12.95; just $3 more. - Liz

Went back to the Spice Grill. Served a better variety of foods for $9.99 But no appealing desserts. - LIz

Baltimore - Seafood - M&S Grill

A great seafood restaurant that is located in the Inner Harbor and it is open late! A group of us ended up in the Inner Harbor on a Friday after 10pm. We had initially decided to go to Phillip's Seafood restaurant by it was closed by then. We had passed M&S Grill and decided to give it a try. Boy, I was glad Phillip's was already closed. M&S Grill was great place to go. The calamari for appetizer was fresh and just melted in your mouth. And our entrees was great -- the mahi-mahi and stuffed flounder. I definitely recommend this place. And make sure you leave room for dessert. All the desserts they had looked great. We got the chocolate brownie sundae. It really topped off a good meal. - Sewell

Didn't know calamari can be really soft. I'm so used to the tough chewy texture. I had the Maryland crab soup which was pretty good, had a spicy kick to it. - Liz

New York - Japanese/Sushi - Minado

A great Japanese/Sushi buffet in the New York area. I have been at the one in Midtown Manhattan twice. While the variety of Sushi selection is great, it is hard to find rolls or nigirizushi that have eel. Still, you definitely have a choice of other types of sushi that will fill your appetite.

And make sure you leave room for the fresh fruits, cakes, and the two types of ice cream they serve, Red Bean and Green Tea.
