Cassady,
I’m similar, most meat is only for special occasions, but I will eat eggs often and seafood pretty often. This is why I tend to favor Asian, Middle Eastern, and Indian food. And your list is praiseworthy. Coda and Basil Leaf are two of the best, and Namaste is as good as any, unless you want to spend a ton for better Indian, but I’m cheap, so Namaste is fine.
The other great veggie places that you probably already know, but I have to mention, are Thai Vegan and Annapurna. But I, like you, can find tons of great pescatarian food at most of the Vietnamese, Japanese, Middle Eastern, Greek, and Indian joints.
Taylor,
If you have some random/varied personalities in your group, Scattergories is a must, because the fun is when people try to convince the others that one of their answers should count. In our family, my wife is the outspoken and competitive one, and thus she tries to convince everyone her ridiculous answers are right, which is hilarious.
Also, my wife and I used to go to Slice & Dice weekly for a couple months and loved it. Good shout.

My nerdiest interests are philosophy, psychology, political theory, history, books, and languages. My geekiest interests are video games and board games.
