As the cold settles in, I think more and more of a good bowl of soup. I was speaking to someone about chili a few months back and said that it was the only soup that I eat in the warm weather. My friend laughed at me and said that chili was not a soup […]
Since our last bagel tasting, we decided to try another one. This time we stopped by Town Bagel in Plainview. We were lucky in that they are celebrating their 40th Anniversary. I can not imagine a great testament to a bagel shop than being open for 40 years. They must be doing something right. We […]
I just saw this on Instagram that Jade King in Roslyn Heights is closing. There are a few things that are surprising about this. First, it is closing due to a significant rent hike by the owner of the property. Jade King has been around for a really long time. There is a suggestion that […]
We stopped by Pantano’s Doz Bagels in Garden City Park for a late breakfast. I was surprised that at 11:00 in the morning that not a table could be had. Most places are deserted between the breakfast and lunch rushes. This is a very good sign that we are going to have a great meal. I […]

Both booths and tables offer valuable benefits, and the best choice depends on your restaurant’s style, target guests, and the atmosphere you want to create. […]
We wanted some fresh fish for lunch but did not want to travel to Santa Barbara. We found the Santa Barbara Fish Market in Goleta to be the best solution. They deliver an authentic, high-caliber seafood experience that truly tastes like it just came off the boat. The Ambiance: Casual Comfort, Focused on the Fare […]

Tre Lune delivers high-quality Italian fare, exceptional service, and an atmosphere rich with celebrity history. The Ambiance: Old-School Glamour Meets Cozy Italian Charm […]
We went to the Landmark Diner for lunch and had an amazing experience. I have been at the Landmark multiple times. In fact, I know that it is the only two story diner on Long Island. What made this trip special was our waitress. I had a pretty traditional meal, at least for me. I […]
We tried 7th Street Burger in Mineola to see what the excitement was all about. 7th Street Burger has carved out a niche for itself, promising a no-frills, old-school smash burger experience. While the concept is compelling, the actual burger often falls into the realm of mediocre, leaving a craving for something truly exceptional unfulfilled. […]
We have a broad selection of ice cream shops on Long Island. To come up with the top 10 is a really big challenge. We may miss some excellent shops and may want to include some others but you can only have 10 places in our top 10 list. Here is our list of the […]
