I can't believe I've never been to the snaketeria at the Holiday Inn, Newark! Maybe someone will take me there sometime.
There is very good Portuguese and Spanish food on Fleet Street in Newark. I've overheard business travelers saying they were headed there to stuff themselves then sleep at the Marriott at the Airport. (I've been to several there... great food.)
The Mansion at Turtle Creek can't be as great as Simply Pasta in NYC. Of course I have nto been to the Mansion at Turtle Creek.
For Holly: Delmonicos in NAWLINS (New Orleans for those who don't speak southern) is tops. I like it, like Many of the NYC restaurants more.
Among best hotels I've stayed: Hilton Short HIlls for best overnight/quickie getaway resort and Westin Maui for best "I need to stop the world and get off for vacation" resort.
I guess it's all a matter of taste.
