With the closure of Limani Taverna in Woodbury, we have been looking for a new Greek restaurant. Add to the fact, that we have also been waiting for a while for a restaurant to open in the old BBG space in Williston Park. As soon as we heard that a new Greek taverna opened in […]
We were in Santa Barbara and people recommended Bettina in Montecito. The atmosphere is a balance between modern sophistication and cozy warmth. The space is often bright and airy, with clean lines and tasteful decor that speaks to a relaxed yet refined dining experience. But the best part of Bettina is the outside eating area […]
I have enjoyed my trips to Cava with their build-your-own bowl concept and fresh, vibrant ingredients My only complaint has been the wait time there. A Naya restaurant has opened in the food court in Roosevelt Field so we wanted to see how it measured up. Naya offers a similar concept of build you own […]

We have been thinking of trying Franklin and Phoebe Brunchery in Franklin Square for awhile and this past weekend we took the plunge. Our first impression is that Franklin and Phoebe must have been […]
We should take a moment to reflect on the passing of the AOL Dial-Up Service. The end of AOL dial-up isn’t just a technological footnote, it is the final nail in the coffin for the generation of the Internet. AOL democratized the internet and introduced millions to online connectivity. For those who remember the anticipation […]
With the closing of the La Bottega in Roslyn, we needed to find a replacement shop that serves excellent paninis. As quick refresh, La Bottega in Roslyn set gold standard for paninis for at least a decade. First Up is La Bottega in Glen Cove. At first impression, we were doubtful since this La Bottega […]
