I was out with my wife at dinner at the Tap Room (which you may remember I thought was one of the worst meals I have had in the last decade) and she ordered a glass of chardonnay. It looked like they gave her a really small pour and when asked about it, they said […]
I am excited to eat Mexican food this weekend so I put together a list of the top Mexican restaurants in Nassau County. While Dirty Taco is not on the list, it is definitely worthwhile as a taco destination. 1. Margarita’s Cafe 2. Caracara Mexican Grill 3. Besito 4. Tocolo Cantina 5. Mesita 6. Mezcalina […]
We headed down to the South Shore to try Snaps American Bistro in Wantagh. We had the Crispy Chicken Teriyaki Wontons, the Southwest Chipotle Chicken Empanada, Grilled Pork Chop and the Shepard Pie.

Mentioning Specials without Prices When I was younger, I took my wife to Il Mulino for our first anniversary dinner. The waiter or captain (I know a very fancy restaurant and I do not even know what the captain did) told us about the specials (while neglecting to tell us the prices of each special) […]

Roast Sandwich Shop — Worthy of a Visit for Artisanal Sandwiches We headed over to the Roast Sandwich shop in Syosset after hearing that it was an artisanal sandwich shop.
