The Cove Glen Cove — Come Only for the View

July 15, 2024

We went to the Cove Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Glen Cove. The views make this restaurant. I should stop there!! I had low expectations on the food since these restaurants tend to be all about the view and the bar scene. We had spicy feta and humus dips and seared tuna. The Cove did […]

Cravings Plainview — A Deli Not Worth the Trip

July 12, 2024

We were in Plainview and wanted to try out Cravings Market. When we arrived, the place was entirely empty. We had to wonder if they were closed or open. Not too reassuring. But since we were already there, we decided to try it. We ordered a chicken pesto sandwich and chicken salad wrap. Pretty basic […]

Subway Institutes a Mandatory Tip

July 11, 2024

I saw a posting on Reddit about a woman who went to Subway and Subway added a mandatory tip of 20% to the bill. We went to Subway where my husband and I each ordered a pretzel and my two nieces each ordered a footlong sub sandwich. I am the only one who got a […]

St Rocco’s Bakery — Very Good Chocolate Chip Cookies

July 10, 2024

On a recommendation, I headed to Glen Cove to try the chocolate chip cookie at St. Rocco’s Bakery. People have claimed that St. Rocco’s Bakery has the greatest chocolate chip cookies are on earth. I wouldn’t go that far, but they are very good, with the bittersweet chocolate melting right into the cookie proper. As […]

Buckram Stables — A Welcome Oasis in Locust Valley

July 9, 2024

After dodging a bullet at another lunch spot nearby, we decided to stop by Buckram Stables in Locust Valley to have lunch this past weekend. They describe themselves as casual dining with an equestrian theme. They can call themselves anything they want but they are a pub. Since it was extremely hot, we decided to […]

Umami Sushi and Grill — Major Step Up in Roslyn Sushi Scene

July 8, 2024

With the revolving Japanese restaurants on Willis Avenue in Roslyn, we felt an underwhelming dred as we pulled into the Umami Sushi and Grill parking lot. The last restaurant in this location was a mediocre Japanese restaurant that had a nice hibachi room but nothing to write home about. They redid the entire interior and […]

What is Good Here — Food Rant

July 3, 2024

I was on Facebook and I saw this Page where Restaurant Workers complain about things that bother them. One rant extremely annoyed me and it had to do with customers asking what is good here? Why does this annoy me? First off, I ask this question all the time so they are referring to me. […]

The Best Lobster Roll — Jordan Lobster Farm

July 2, 2024

We revisited one of our favorite lobster roll places, Jordan Lobster Farm in Island Park. Typically, we order from the take out window and grab a table but we were with the in laws so we were going to be sitting inside like real people. I am glad that I decided to wear a polo […]

Brunch at Hendricks Tavern

July 1, 2024

I am a big fan of Hendrick’s Tavern in Roslyn for dinner but we wanted to try their brunch. We were seated right away at a table with a gorgeous view of the clock tower Once we were seated they served the ice cold water immediately. Our first impression is that they know how to […]
