For me Eclipse De Luna is probably higher on the list- love that place :)

Also- have never been to Bhojanic even though it is in my backyard! Must try it sometime soon...

Finally- you have no southern/soul food on the list! That's a shame! ;)

miss you,

I dunno there, Premkumar. I'm gonna have to disagree on a few of these.

MF Sushi - BLAH! Overpriced and not good. Try Hashiguchi Jr near Lenox. You dont get the same fancy atmosphere, but the food is 100x better

Where is Rathbuns, where's Kyma!!?!

One Midtown is decent but wouldn't be my top.

I also like La Travola (sp?) in Virginia Highlands for Italian, and Feast in Decatur for fancy american.

Ya, know maybe I need another list for "off the beaten path" like Hashiguchi, Zab e lee, Zyka.

PS: Anyone know of any good viet, malay or indonesian? I don't think they exist.
Also, i need a good mexican --- i have eaten at a ton but nothing pops (zocalo?)...
