Cooperage Inn Restaurant Review: A North Fork Gem with Inconsistent Flavors
July 30, 2025
We were on the North Fork and decided to go to the Cooperage Inn Restaurant for dinner. From our research, the Cooperage Inn is a beloved fixture on the North Fork dining scene, known for its charming country ambiance and generous portions of American comfort food. I like generous portions and comfort food. So off […]
Main Road Biscuit Co. Review: A Comforting Taste of the North Fork
July 28, 2025
We were looking for a good breakfast place near Riverhead and found the Main Road Biscuit Co in Jamesport. With biscuit in its name, what could go wrong. We already loved the Little Gull Café for their biscuits so I am on biscuit kick. Word of warning, the Little Gull Café often runs out of […]
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 […]

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 […]
