Chimichurri Charcoal Chicken — Another Miss
August 21, 2024
I was in Carle Place and was intrigued by a restaurant sign — Chimichurri Charcoal Chicken. I liked all three words in the restaurant’s name. I was challenged since I just finished lunch to eat there but I figured that I could try the wings to see if it made sense to come back for […]
Top Restaurant Red Flags
August 20, 2024
I was reading a blog by Jeff Somers regarding Restaurants Top Red Flags and I thought that he covered a bunch of good topics. I had a few additional suggestions and combined they with the blog references. If you see any of these items, it may be a good idea to look for another restaurant. […]
Cena 081 — Westbury’s Finest
August 19, 2024
We had a lovely meal at Cena 081 in Westbury, right by the LIRR Train Station. We were greeted by Tom Brady, the manager. Unfortunately for us, it was not THE Tom Brady, retired Football GOAT. I was confused that with the name Cena 081 when their address is 103 Post Avenue. My good friend, […]
Kura Revolving Sushi Bar — Time to Move On
August 16, 2024
I had a free night and what better way to enjoy it than to order sushi on a conveyer belt. That is the gimmick for Kura Revolving Sushi Bar in Carle Place. At Kura they have a bunch of booths with a conveyer belt winding its way through out the restaurant. Customers can take whatever […]
Why Do Hostesses Seat You At Bad Tables
August 15, 2024
I was out for dinner this past weekend and the hostess lead us to a table right near the bathroom. The restaurant was half full and I could not understand why she chose this table for us. I asked her if we could have a table near the window in the front. She said shrugged […]
Town Bagel Plainview– A Cut Above
August 14, 2024
As I continue my pursuit of the best bagel on Long Island, I heard that Town Bagel of Plainview should be in the running. They do a darn good bagel there. My first observation was the parking lot in the strip mall where Town Bagel was located is a disaster. They do not have enough […]
Munsey Park Bagels — Not Worthy of Being Called A Bagel Shop
August 13, 2024
I decided to try a Bagel at Munsey Park Bagels in Manhasset and I was not overly impressed with them. The bagel experience started off well. The golden sheen on the bagel was almost perfect and I have to say that it could be the best looking bagel that I have tasted. That was the […]
Ristorante Venere — A Hidden Gem in Westbury
August 12, 2024
On a rainy night we headed over to Ristorante Venere on Carman Avenue in Westbury. Ristorante Venere is in a non descript strip mall where parking is easy which won kudos, especially from my wife, on this rainy night. From the first moment we stepped in, we had the most amazing experience. My overall take […]
Regal Kosher Deli — Good But Not Great Hot Dogs
August 9, 2024
I keep passing the Regal Kosher Deli in Plainview and today I noticed a big hot dog sign. I hastily made a left turn into their parking lot and decided to get their hot dogs. The hot dog had a good snap and it was grilled. Since Regal is a kosher deli I have to […]
