Best ______(food) in your hometown

[aephi alum]

In and around the Norwalk, CT area:

Best sushi: Henry's, better known as Little Tokyo (Henry is the owner)
Best Indian: Coromandel (or my house, if you ask very nicely )
Best Thai: Thai Spice
Best Chinese: Unknown as the Chinese restaurant I used to order from closed not too long ago.
Best chocolate: Chocopologie. The restaurant has some nice dinner offerings, and if you're lucky (EXTREMELY lucky if it's a Friday or Saturday night - they have a tiny dining room and don't take reservations) you can enjoy a nice dinner there. You can also buy their chocolates (and, IIRC, their non-alcoholic chocolate drinks) to go.
Best deli: Rye Ridge Deli, right off the Merritt Parkway in Stamford. Awesome matzo ball soup. They don't run a kosher kitchen (they offer grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches, for crying out loud ) but you can get some nummy sandwiches there. And did I mention the matzo ball soup?

I'm not in a place where I like to get stuffed anymore, so it's not my thing, but they are definitely famous in these parts.

Truer words have never been spoken!

Oh yeah, I'm definitely doing Garrett's. Both DH and I have people at our jobs wanting us to bring back popcorn for them!
