Rialto Restaurant: A Taste of Italian Tradition in Carle Place
July 25, 2025
We returned to Rialto Restaurant in Carle Place. Rialto has a warm and inviting atmosphere. It is throwback to how Italian Restaurants used to be. With all the recent closures of restaurants, I am glad that Rialto remains. You feel the charm and vibe as soon as you walk in. The menu at Rialto features […]
Greek Xpress a Blend between a Fast Food and Full Service Restaurant
July 24, 2025
We ate at Greek Xpress in Great Neck. Greek Xpress is a blend between a fast food and a full-service restaurant. It is a clean friendly environment. You receive the wait staff service that you would expect in a traditional restaurant. Instead of ordering at the counter (as you would typically do in a fast-food […]
Long Island’s Dirty Taco: A Fresh Take on Mexican with an Island Vibe
July 23, 2025
Our friends have proposed by the Dirty Taco + Tequila in Port Washington which is located in Manhasset Bay Marina. You will find it nestled in the corner at the end of street that has industrial and residential buildings.

Fauna in Westhampton Beach: A New American Culinary Gem with Upscale Flair
July 21, 2025
We headed to Fauna in Westhampton Beach with a party of 10 people. Normally you do not get the best experience with such a large party and it is hard to judge a restaurant with this size party. But it is what it is. A few quick things about Fauna, it is one of the […]
Childhood Memories of Restaurants That Are No Longer With Us
July 18, 2025
With the recent slew of restaurant closings, it started to make me think about my childhood memories. When we were growing up we did not take an unlimited number of photos documenting our lives so sometime all we have is our memories (as warped as they can become). While growing up, we would enjoy La […]
La Parma in Williston Park is Closing :(
July 17, 2025
I just read in Newsday that La Parma in Williston Park is closing. Their last date is July 27th. We can add La Parma to another long time Italian restaurant, Domenico’s (which closed after 58 years). While La Parma was opened for only 41 years, it provided a whole bunch of fun and tasty memories. […]
Pete the Greek in Old Bethpage Delivers Quality Greek Take Out
July 16, 2025
I was not in the mood to go out to dinner this past weekend so we ordered in from Pete the Greek in Old Bethpage. This restaurant is focused on take out with only 2 tables in it (it seemed like a pizza shop when I picked up the food). They do a bunch of […]
Prime Huntington an Incredible Dining Experience with Some Downsides
July 15, 2025
We ate at Prime an American Kitchen and Bar in Huntington. It is considered one of the top steak restaurants on Long Island. What separate Prime from other great steakhouse is its waterfront location and view. Prime has stunning waterfront views of Huntington Harbor, especially during sunset. There is almost a line of people taking […]
Point Lookout Clam Bar, Good Views but Mediocre Food
July 14, 2025
It was a beautiful day out this weekend, so we wanted to have lunch with a view. We headed to The Point Lookout Clam Bar located in Point Lookout. We know that was a stretch to figure it out. For those unaware, Point Lookout is a quaint looking town at the end of the Loop […]
How Does Ben & Jerry Decide Which Flavors to Kill?
July 10, 2025
I was in Vermont and I visited the Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory. It was a good tour but I expected to have a sampling of new flavors at the end of the tour. This did not happen. ☹ As I walked around the property, I found Ben & Jerry’s Graveyard of Flavors. They […]
