VI Coffee Bar — Not the King of Chicken Caesar Wraps
January 7, 2025
Someone sent me a TikTok that offered a new king of Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps in Boca Raton. With such a glowing review, off we went VI Coffee Bar. Much to our disappointment, they had sold out of their Chicken Caesar Wraps at 12:00 noon that day. We waited and then on an unassuming Monday, […]
The Warren Delray
January 6, 2025
We always love to going The Warren in Delray. The only drawback for me was that it was a scene with a whole lot of hustle and bustle. It reached a point where you could not hear anyone at your table whether you were inside or outside. We decided to try The Warren again. This […]
Old School Florida Restaurant — Rosie’s Bar and Grill
January 2, 2025
We were down in Wilton Manors and need a place to eat. It being New Year’s Day, that is more of a challenge than I anticipated. We found that Rosie’s Bar and Grill was open. We found it to be a traditional Florida restaurant. It even had the Chinese Lantern Lights. I know that it […]
Has Yelp Jumped the Shark? Exploring Alternatives
December 26, 2024
I have recently been frustrated with restaurant reviews on Yelp. It seems that the concept of a massive set of reviews has devolved into a love fest for restaurants but a selected few. For example, FandoQ in Westbury and Wild Fig in Hicksville has a higher rating than Kyma and Limani in Roslyn. How is […]
FlyBird Chargrill Chicken — A Great Stop for Chicken!!
December 23, 2024
I found this chicken place called FlyBird Chargrilled Chicken in Delray. I was excited for the chicken pot pie but I unfortunately found out that they only sell it frozen for you to cook it at home. We ordered a Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich and a Greek Salad with Chicken. The Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich was absolutely […]
Crack Down on Restaurant Reservations Scalping
December 23, 2024
Governor Kathy Hochul today signed legislation to crack down on the ‘black market’ for restaurant reservations. The new law prohibits third-party restaurant reservation services from arranging unauthorized restaurant reservations with food service establishments. This will put an end to a predatory marketplace that placed a cost on consumers before they even entered a restaurant, and […]
Bagel Boss Roslyn — Black and White Cookie
December 13, 2024
Another Day, Another Disappointing Black and White Cookie. I had such high hopes for the Black and White Cookie from Bagel Boss Roslyn. Their bagels are good. So are their Babkas. But the Black and White, not so much This cookie failed on the frosting. It was just too sugary and not a whole of […]

The Best Breakfast on Long Island — Maureen’s Kitchen in Smithtown
December 11, 2024
I went to Maureen’s Kitchen for lunch today with a friend who had never been there before. We were going to have lunch but how can you skip their Pancakes. In addition to the Pancakes, we had a turkey sandwich special and their Million Dollar Lunch Special. We absolutely loved everything. The best by far […]
Black and White Cookies from Bagels N A Hole Lot More
December 10, 2024
I have to say that their Black and White Cookie was much better than their bagels. It may have something to do with the fact that they source them from an outside vendor. Regardless, this was a better experience. The frosting was the hard shell frosting as opposed to the soft whipped. I personally like […]
