I typically do not share stories that happen to friends since you get into the habit of doing friends of friends and you end up on Snopes (a site dedicated to debunking urban legends). But a recent experience a friend of mine had at Gary Rack’s Farmhouse Kitchen in Coral Springs warranted an exception to […]
I read this article on how this pilot announced the unspoken rules of flying. It seems that his pitch was a big hit with the passengers. He talked about the rights of the middle seat as well as ruling on the seat reclining debate. That made me think about the unspoken rules of flying as […]
After seeing a reel praising The Chocolate House on Instagram, I decided to check it out to see what the hype was all about. My expectations were high after seeing it and looking at the menu. They had crepes, waffles, sundae and other chocolate related items (even a chocolate fountain). So off we went on a […]
We ate at La Pizzetta in East Norwich expecting a quick bite consisting of pizza and salad. But when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find a real welcoming dining room. Definitely a step up from our expectations. The Service & The Food The service continued to build on our experience. The waitstaff was […]
I found another ridiculous story related to tipping in restaurants. Let’s be honest. Tipping in America has gotten completely out of hand. What used to be a simple thank you for great service has warped into a high-pressure, guilt-driven transaction. Another restaurant made headlines recently after tip-shaming its clientele.

However, if you are looking for some of the best casual eats in West Palm Beach, Buccan Sandwich Shop is an absolute destination. Before you plan your […]
Umberto’s of New Hyde Park is pizza royalty on Long Island. This legendary Long Island pizza is universally celebrated as the birthplace of the iconic grandma slice. It’s the pie that put them on the map, and foodies routinely make the pilgrimage to try a piece of culinary history. But while the grandma pie gets […]
We are on a constant hunt for the definitive best lobster roll on Long Island. From Montauk to the Gold Coast, every seafood shack claims the crown but very few deliver on the promise. We recently headed to Butler’s Flat in Port Washington. It is located on Manhasset Bay and has quintessential summer vibe. We […]
If you live on Long Island, you know that finding a reliable neighborhood pizza joint is essential. Recently, I decided to check out Americano Pizza Shop in Syosset. My verdict? It is definitely a solid spot that deserves a place in your rotation. However, a word of advice before you go: your satisfaction here depends […]
We set out on a tasting tour through NoHo and the East Village to find the neighborhood’s definitive chocolate chip cookie. Evaluating each stop on a strict set of textural (when I say strict, I am saying it in a tongue and cheek manner) and flavor standards, we sampled everything from massive, molten softballs of […]
