That is the whole point of the thread: that you have to get on an airplane to get good Indian food or dim sum. In SF or NYC, I just get in a taxi (or take the bus). I can eat at Le Benardin or Jean Georges, then go eat great sushi, then eat tikka masala, without ever leaving the city of New York. In SF, I can eat dim sum for breakfast, dosa at lunch, then eat at La Folie or have Alsacian French at Fleur de Lys. I never have to leave the city.

That link to the japanese place looks great, though!
