I always try to visit the local diners on Long Island. They are a dying breed that reminds me of my youth. I had fond memories of eating at various diners around. Their menus used to be as large as a phone book and you could order breakfast for dinner. It was just a great […]
We tried the Seasons 52 in Garden City. It is located attached in the Roosevelt Field Mall. As any one who has been there, it is always a crazy mess going there. Parking is a challenge. There are too many people. It all makes for quite an experience. Seasons 52 has generally received positive reviews […]
I was out for dinner last night and asked our waitress a question. My friend said that the waitstaff prefers to be called a server as opposed to a waitress or waiter. Is the change to a gender-neutral term the wave of the future? Am I now politically incorrect? After taking a look online, it […]
We were visiting someone at Lenox Hill Hospital and heard great things about Sable’s Smoked Fish, which is a few blocks away. It has been around since 1992 when it was founded by folks who learned their trade at Zabar’s. They nailed the classic, old-school feel and the vibe screamed bagel shop. We decided to […]
We went to the Lucharitos in Mineola for dinner. It is located in the Morgan Parc building on 2nd Street. As an aside, that is a really nice-looking apartment building. The restaurant had nice inside and outside seating. We chose the outside area When the weather is nice, it is a pleasure eating and drinking […]

We returned to the Bungalow East Restaurant in Long Beach. We loved the wraps last time so it was worth a return visit. We did like the casual environment with the outdoor seating. The restaurant’s menu is large, with a wide variety of wraps and paninis. I wish we were there for breakfast since the […]
We wanted to try Jade Eatery and Lounge in Port Washington. This location is the latest in the Jade Eatery empire. It has been the rotating set of restaurants over the past few years. I was a little confused with why they called it an eatery and lounge. Most new restaurants would use kitchen and […]
I was looking for a good burger and a friend suggested the Shed in Westbury. I was of two minds because I think of the Shed as primary a breakfast/brunch place but I did have a great blackened fish sandwich there once. Being the easy-going guy that I am, off we went to the Shed. […]
