Great, inexpensive Japanese food. Of course I must not fail to mention Napa Rose. Special is what that place is; it doesn't get any better. Favorite Store: eBay. There is no better place to browse. Everything you could want, and then some.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip Favorite Restaurant: Wildfire Wildfire is a chain restaurant (7 locations) done by the "Lettuce Entertain You" folks. In spite of being a chain restaurant it is very high quality. The menu, service and atmosphere are all first rate (as are the prices). As is the case with most of my favorite restaurants; the sauces served with their entrées are superb. Favorite Store: Clothing: Von Maur; a Midwest department store similar to Nordstrom’s in service and quality. If you look for their sale merchandise you can get really high quality name brand clothing and shoes at pretty decent prices. Home Furnishings: Pier One; probably the only store where I can browse for over a half-hour without getting bored. Everything Else: Target; if there were only one store on earth I’d want it to be a Target.

I can't remember the name of it and I don't know if it's still there, but I spent a lot of great hours there with my non-Navy friends. Favorite Store: Elliott Bay Books in Seattle, circa 1998

I really really like The Greenfront in Farmville, Virginia. <a href="http://www.greenfront.com/locallinks.html" target="_blank">http://www.greenfront.com/loca llinks.html</a> They have everything for your home and then some.
Originally Posted By DAR For restaraunts I have two, one chain restaraunt and one local. The local is a Mexican place called Botanas. Great food, great service, really great margaritas. The owner always makes a point to walk around to each table and say hi. In fact I've been in there so many times with friends and family, we are recognized right away. My parents in fact never have to wait when the owner is there. I call it our mafia status. <a href="http://www.botanasrestaurant.com/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.botanasrestaurant.c om/index.html</a> My other favorite is Friday's at Miller Park. It's great to go anytime of year. And of the similar type of restaraunts,I think their food is the best. Plus it's great to during a ballgame. <a href="http://www.photowebusa.com/fridays/#milwaukee" target="_blank">http://www.photowebusa.com/fri days/#milwaukee</a> As for stores it depends on my mood. I do like going to Menards. A home improvement store similar to Home Depot or Lowes.
Originally Posted By Labuda Favorite restaurant? Gosh, that's hard. But, I'll say California Grill at WDW, and local place here in Austin called Chuy's (Tex-Mex), the Hula Hut (Polyesian/Tex-Mex! heh), and a place down in San Antonio (Tex-Mex) called Los Barrios. Neat factoid about Los Barrios - it's not uncommon to see some member or other of the Spurs while dining there - basketball players in SA know great Tex-Mex! Favorite store? Tie - Fry's Electronics & Target. Both great places to just wander & browse.

Originally Posted By alphabetmom Costco is by far my favorite store, one stop shopping with excellant quality and affordable prices. Hmm, favorite resturant is a bit harder. There are so many. I have only been to the Chesse Cake Factory once, but loved it. I love TS Cattle Co., and Azteca.

Originally Posted By avromark If you were wondering why I haven't posted my responses in a thread I started it's because I could not limit it.

I prefer greasy spoons, home cooking though. Even though i'm single I don't mind family restaurants (probably the inner scrooge in me). How's that for indecisive?
Originally Posted By Disneymom443 I like Cracker Barrel it may not be one of my faves, but it really has decent food. It just so happens to have a store right inside. Which is very cute and conveniant. (Country stuff.)

Originally Posted By Fe Maiden If I'm getting dressed up, my favorite restaurant would have to be Catelli's at the Mansion in Voorhees, NJ. If not, a great crab shack called Blue Claw. I have two stores I love, Williams-Sonoma and there's a store on the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ called Only Yesterday. I could spend hours in there looking at all the memorabilia they have. It seems like half the stuff they have I owned at one point. Last year I bought the Oct. '71 editions of Life magazine and Look magazine both of which had cover stories on the opening of WDW.
Originally Posted By mickeymeg I dont really have a favourite restaurant that I can think of.

There is a small independant toy store in my city called Fox Glove, it is great fun. most other stores I find I really like are just small little shops. I try not to frequent the big places like Walmart and friends as they tend to make me crazzzy. but thats just me =)
Originally Posted By leemac Restaurant has to be Napa Rose for me. Close second is Jiko at DAK Lodge. Outside the parks I loved a veggie restaurant called Green Zebra in Chicago recently. Store has to be Banana Republic and Ruehl No.925 (A&F's new concept store). Love Best Buy for my DVDs too!
