Mama Soup — Overrated Soup and Deli

May 16, 2024

I heard a rumor that Mama Soup had the best soups around so decided to visit Mineola for a taste of their soup. When I showed up, there was no one else in the place which is not a good sign. But I was on the early sign so I continued in my quest. To […]

What is a Sandwich?

May 15, 2024

The eternal question that we have is what is a sandwich and where is the best one? I can not answer the location of the best sandwich but I am going to address what is a sandwich. Merriam Webster defines a sandwich as follows: (i) two or more slices of bread or a split roll […]

Coliseum Kitchen and Caterers — Good Deli with Aspirations for More

May 15, 2024

I headed over to Coliseum Kitchen and Caterers in Plainview. They definitely chose the right name since the deli could be the largest one I have been to on Long Island. They have an enormous counter that starts with salads, then proceeds to deli followed by hot food and pizza’s. Even though we were not […]

Tasca — A Refresing Spanish Taverna in NYC

May 13, 2024

This past weekend, we treked into NYC for dinner with friends at Tasca on the Upper West Side. It is a fusion of Spanish and Carribean food. We were seated in the basement which was a little eerly but quieter than upstairs. Overall, the food was good even though it was salty. We started with […]

I have an unusual question. We are hosting a brunch on Sunday and I am not a coffee drinker.

T Bar Roslyn — Lives Up to its Reputation

May 9, 2024

We decided to try T Bar in Roslyn. It definitely lived up to its reputation as a cool hip restaurant with good to great food. They revamped the old Brass Swan space (which was Roslyn Social and MP Taverna before that). The space seems jinxed for restaurants that come in with a splash but peter […]

Rant of the Day — Cava Wait Times

Yesterday, I went to Cava in Westbury a little before 2:00 and there were two lines. One line was for people who placed their orders online and the other was for people ordering in store. The in store line had maybe 15 to 20 people on it so I figured it would take 15 to […]

Copperhill — A Modern American Bistro and Quite A Find

May 6, 2024

We headed over to Copperhill in Williston Park. It is a quirky American bistro that prides itself on being located in a 125 year old farmhouse. The only thing that I do not get is why is it important to highlight that the restaurant is in a farmhouse. The interior does not give off the […]
