Town Bagel Plainview– A Cut Above
August 14, 2024
As I continue my pursuit of the best bagel on Long Island, I heard that Town Bagel of Plainview should be in the running. They do a darn good bagel there. My first observation was the parking lot in the strip mall where Town Bagel was located is a disaster. They do not have enough […]
Munsey Park Bagels — Not Worthy of Being Called A Bagel Shop
August 13, 2024
I decided to try a Bagel at Munsey Park Bagels in Manhasset and I was not overly impressed with them. The bagel experience started off well. The golden sheen on the bagel was almost perfect and I have to say that it could be the best looking bagel that I have tasted. That was the […]
Ristorante Venere — A Hidden Gem in Westbury
August 12, 2024
On a rainy night we headed over to Ristorante Venere on Carman Avenue in Westbury. Ristorante Venere is in a non descript strip mall where parking is easy which won kudos, especially from my wife, on this rainy night. From the first moment we stepped in, we had the most amazing experience. My overall take […]
Regal Kosher Deli — Good But Not Great Hot Dogs
August 9, 2024
I keep passing the Regal Kosher Deli in Plainview and today I noticed a big hot dog sign. I hastily made a left turn into their parking lot and decided to get their hot dogs. The hot dog had a good snap and it was grilled. Since Regal is a kosher deli I have to […]
Small Cakes Syosset — Best Cupcakes Around
August 8, 2024
I was headed to a party this weekend and I had to bring some dessert. I really wanted to bring a Junior’s Chocolate Fudge Cake but my wife pointed out that it would be too much for an afternoon party. Basically the wives don’t want something that looks too heavy. They will eat as much […]
Nikkei of Peru — One of the Best Sushi Places in Port Washington
August 7, 2024
We were in the mood for some sushi and headed to Nikkei of Peru in Port Washington. We were first struck by the small parking lot right next to Nikkei of Peru. Of course all of the spots were taken so we had to park in the supermarket parking lot next door. Nikkei of Peru is a small restaurant, more […]
Burger City — Best Burger on Long Island?
August 6, 2024
I saw on Bethpage Best of Long Island that Burger City in East Meadow was voted the best burger on Long Island. So off I went to Burger City to see if it lived up to the hype. Burger City is a classic burger stand with a takeout window and a couple of picnic tables […]
Timi Sushi — A Cut Below the Best
August 5, 2024
We went to Timi Sushi in Syosset and we had a very enjoyable meal. The ambiance was the traditional Japanese restaurant. Timi Sushi has the classic sushi rolls like the Spicy Tuna and Tokyo Rolls. We found them very enjoyable. Their best roll is Fantasy Roll which is a spicy lobster and crunch with shrimp, […]
Juniors Deli in Times Square
August 1, 2024
I was in NYC for a conference and needed to grab a quick lunch. As I passed Junior’s Cheesecake Deli in Times Square, I decided to look no more for a deli sandwich. Junior’s was packed with a bunch of tourists looking for a real New York deli experience. As a result, I had little […]
Clam Bar at the Bridge Marina
July 31, 2024
We were looking for a good lobster roll and headed to the Clam Bar at the Bridge Marina in Bayville. The Clam Bar was a cute outside bar/restaurant right in the boat marina. The views of the boats and the bay were incredible relaxing. A beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy lunch. We ordered […]
