As the summer is waning, we headed out to TOBAY Beach in Massapequa for lunch at the Surf Shack. I think that its official name is the Surf Shack, Flip Flop Coast Kitchen. A quick reminder that TOBAY Beach is a town beach accessible for Town of Oyster Bay Residents for a few. There are […]
We had dinner for a family birthday at Limani in Rockefeller Center. We are big fans of the Limani in Roslyn and the Limani Taverna in Woodbury. We thought this was a sure thing for dinner for our party of 8. Limani stuns with its restaurant decor. The dining room floor is done in blinding […]

I always try to visit the local diners on Long Island. They are a dying breed that reminds me of my youth. I had fond memories of eating at various diners around. Their menus used to be as large as a phone book and you could order breakfast for dinner. It was just a great […]

We were visiting someone at Lenox Hill Hospital and heard great things about Sable’s Smoked Fish, which is a few blocks away. It has been around since 1992 when it was founded by folks who learned their trade at Zabar’s. They nailed the classic, old-school feel and the vibe screamed bagel shop. We decided to […]
We went to the Lucharitos in Mineola for dinner. It is located in the Morgan Parc building on 2nd Street. As an aside, that is a really nice-looking apartment building. The restaurant had nice inside and outside seating. We chose the outside area When the weather is nice, it is a pleasure eating and drinking […]
From an interesting article on Reddit in which a table at a bar did not tip a waitress when she refused to bring one of their party a soda. This started to make me think on what to do about a tip when service is bad. I have friends who come out all across the […]

The restaurant’s menu is large, with a wide variety of wraps and paninis. I wish we were there for breakfast since the […]
