Here's a neat little article on eating out. There's a few restaurants that when I walk in, I feel right at home including the vegetarian restaurant in Darmstadt, the butcher in Kirchberg on Thursdays, East Side Mario's in Waterloo (University street location) especially on Sundays, the Deli across from civic arena in Ottawa, the american burger joint in Karlsruhe... etc etc etc!

I also have my share of bars that I feel right at home, but due to bandwidth limitations I cannot list them all here :-)
