I could leave that up to you and monitor, my knowledge really starts Aventura and south.

I have eaten at a handful of places in FLL, only one stood out and it was an all vegetarian Indian restaurant. (woodlands)

The only numbers truly retired are 3 and 4, for very obvious reasons. #1 has not been reissued since IIRC Mike Dunham (my media guide is still at the other house), and 29 was given to Salmela after he came back to NJ in the Kovalchuk deal. Oduya had worn it for quite some time before that.

I know, I was being sarcastical. ;)

Didn't this dude also wear #29 at one point?

Sounds good to me. All of the Greek places in Palm Beach County are greatly overrated. I have yet to run into a really good one anywhere but the Northeast.

I am not sure I know great greek food to be honest :D

I love greek food, I make some greek inspired dishes, but not sure I know the real thing. I have from friends in Greece, one runs a highly rated restaurant, i really should go visit!

I do however know bad greek food, and had it once in Miami, yeccccck...
I also know a good peruvian restaurant in Miami should we want to go that route :) but it is very midtown, out of the way.

All three segments are new lines and YX is a new carrier, even if in name only. At least I get one E70 segment on them, plus an E75 on the MDW-LGA flight.

I am heading to Chicago next month. CO was at $264, when AA/UA/DL were $199. The other guys refiled the fare at $155 and CO refiles at $219.

:rolleyes:

That's OK, I miss it all the time. To paraphrase Douglas Adams: Where I come from we don't have sarcasm, so unless I'm really concentrating I fail to notice it.

Good Greek food concentrates on fish. Since fresh fish is readily available down here, I do have hopes for a Greek place that comes with a good recommendation. I have tried a restaurant in upstate NY recommended by belynch and it was first-rate.

However, if Greek is not your style, I can suggest an extremely haute Mexican place in FLL. It is where I have brought many FTers and visitors from out of the area and IMO is one of the very best places in South Florida. Don't think tacos. Think huitlacoche.

My doctor told me I had a severe vitamin D deficiency. :cool:

Actually, my doc told me the same thing!:rolleyes: I'm supposed to take these supplements, but can never seem to remember to take them!:eek:

Mexican, Peruvian, whatever. I eat just about anything.

Here's the URL for the Greek Place I mentioned.

I am good with greek, Peruvian also has quite the seafood selection....so fish/seafood no problem, as long as not perch(freshwater), catfish, or carp/trashfish. :D

It seems that all the doctors say the same thing about "vitamin D deficiency." I don't know how I can have one running around all day with the top down and hanging out at the pool down here as much as I can but my doc came up with that also. :rolleyes:
