We branched out this past week for the start of my birthday week by going to Avra Madison in NYC. Everything was great starting with the Pita Bread and ending with the dessert.

The interesting part of the pita bread was that it was crunching as opposed to the soft pita that I am used to. Click Here For More

We headed over to Glen Head for lunch to try Honey Bistro which is located right next to Ernesto’s East Ristorante on Railroad Avenue. It had a welcoming vibe with an interesting menu Click Here for More

Last week, I railed against restaurants shrinking the glasses of wine. In order to save money there has been a trend to reduce wine pours from 6 ounces to 5 ounces thereby allowing restaurants to go from 4 glasses of wine to 5 glasses of wine (basically increasing their profits for each bottle of wine by 25%).

There is a common trend among restaurants, especially new ones, to provide a limited menu of just a few items. For example, the North Folk Table and Inn only lists 5 entrees on their menu. It turns out that their food truck (when available) offers a more diverse menu than their restaurant.

I understand that by limiting their menu they can reduce the amount of waste and thereby increase their profitability. I also do not expect them to have all the options that the old Greek diners used to provide. But come on man!! By offering a vegetarian option, a fish, one chicken and two steak options, are they really serving the culinary demand of their clients. Click Here for More
