I enjoyed St Pauls, but wondered why they did not put elavators in to take people up to the Whispering Gallery?

I have heard that London has many "no-go" areas so wish to stick to the area near my hotel in Mayfair. Where can I find the best budget ethnic food this area has to offer?

That would be Le Gavroche.
Sadly, however, a prime 'no-go' location, near some of the heaviest terror targets in the capital. Why not take a taxi - use a minicab who may approach you - they will offer much better value and security than the sinister 'black' cabs.

I have heard so much about Neals Yard. Which cheeses are safe to eat?

if you do use a black cab, be sure to barter with the driver for a better fare

Not only do they expect it. They will be offended if you don't follow their cockney custom

Be sure to say "you are a pure James" as you hand over your fare

I have heard some of the bistros on The Broadwater Estate are very lovely for an romantic night out. Which is the best Silcott's Brasserie or The LKJ Diner?

I need to get Tony Bourdain's autograph, so I plan on dinner at les Halles tonight. What should I eat?

We are taking a holiday in Spain. I have heard they eat late there.
Should I book for 7:30 pm or will this be after the main rush?

No. My one is way cooler.
Sadly neither has room for Shippam's bloater paste, though.

By the way I would like to stop over in Edinboro' for a night to play golf.
Where should I eat? - I hear the easter road offers a marvellous variety of traditional establishments.

Hello. I'm going on a first date with a lactose intollerant, wheat sensitive, pesco-vegetarian and I was wondering what I should wear?
It is better to have beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear.

My foodie girlfriend and I would like to go to Peter Lugar but I'm wondering how to get to Brooklyn and if I'll need protection. I guess if we don't carry cash, it shouldn't be a problem?

I'm going too!!! What should I order?
