For British fare I'll also have to add a traditional Sunday Roast - you can find these in any pub and is typically meat (beef, lamb, or chicken), roast potatoes (in goose fat in you're lucky), veg, Yorkshire pudding (think popover), and veg, all topped with a generous few ladles of gravy. Wash it down with a bitter (the stereotypical not quite cold beer, cask aged) or in the summer some Pimm's and that's about as British as you can get. Moved here from NY almost a year ago and had my first roast yesterday, and I know it will not be the last...

Another very British restaurant pair is St John and St John Bread & Wine, where the forgotten bits of the animal are revered.

Beyond that ethnic foods are a great bet - Lebanese being my favo(u)rite. Wagamama is OK but there's better (Busaba Eathai), and I can vouch for Ottolenghi. Their apple cake is one of the better desserts I've ever had.

pretty much same as DC Sarah, also try to do "healthy" during the week (salads, lean meats, whole grains) and relax on weekends. Exercise also helps me eat more of what I want.

Happy a few more days of Passover - sure makes the whole grains part difficult, but this year I have found the beauty of whole grain matzo - made whole grain matzo ball soup last night and all heresy aside, possibly more flavorful than regular matzo balls.
