I wanted to show the love to underrated restaurants on Long Island. Everyone writes about the hot and new restaurants whether we love or hate them. It is the sexy thing to do. But what about those restaurants that have delivered for years and years and go unnoticed. I figured the least we can do […]
I just saw in Newsday that the Morning Rose Café in Bellmore is closing. We had reported that they served one of the best pancakes on Long Island. On The Morning Rose Café’s Website, they had the following message “It has been such a pleasure to get to know so many of you, who have […]
We had a special occasion so we decided to treat ourselves at Opus Steakhouse in Jericho. It is a beautiful space that is deceptively large. They even have an event space and a wedding was going on during our dinner. They really thought of everything in the design because the wedding did not impact our […]
As the summer is waning, we headed out to TOBAY Beach in Massapequa for lunch at the Surf Shack. I think that its official name is the Surf Shack, Flip Flop Coast Kitchen. A quick reminder that TOBAY Beach is a town beach accessible for Town of Oyster Bay Residents for a few. There are […]
We had dinner for a family birthday at Limani in Rockefeller Center. We are big fans of the Limani in Roslyn and the Limani Taverna in Woodbury. We thought this was a sure thing for dinner for our party of 8. Limani stuns with its restaurant decor. The dining room floor is done in blinding […]

All equipment and fixtures are being sold. If you want to purchase any of the […]
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 […]
