I went to a local diner and ordered an omelette and a blueberry muffin. The omelette was fine but the muffin tasted aweful. Something was definitely off with the muffin. Since i was running late, I did not bring it up with the waiter. When I went to pay the bill, the manager asked me […]
We were shopping at Grace’s Marketplace and decided to get lunch at their Chef’s Counter & Trattoria. It is set up in the corner of the Grace’s Marketplace. The menu is relatively small but has a focus on breakfast and lunch. Doing it over, I would probably go for breakfast since it looked good. But […]
On a beautiful day, we headed to the Twisted Fork Brunch Company in Bellmore. The first thing we noticed was the large footprint of the restaurant. It was spacious with a lot of room between the tables and booths. That makes the meal so much more enjoyable. As an aside, we were able to put […]
Another day, another bagel. Today, we tried iBagel Cafe in Albertson. If these bagels are not good, then I will be moving to Florida since H&H Bagels is opening there. iBagel served up a golden bagel that was light and fluffy. So they nailed the coloring and texture on the outside. The outside of the […]
As I continue my pursuit of the best bagel on Long Island, I heard that Town Bagel of Plainview should be in the running. They do a darn good bagel there. My first observation was the parking lot in the strip mall where Town Bagel was located is a disaster. They do not have enough […]
I decided to try a Bagel at Munsey Park Bagels in Manhasset and I was not overly impressed with them. The bagel experience started off well. The golden sheen on the bagel was almost perfect and I have to say that it could be the best looking bagel that I have tasted. That was the […]
I was headed to a party this weekend and I had to bring some dessert. I really wanted to bring a Junior’s Chocolate Fudge Cake but my wife pointed out that it would be too much for an afternoon party. Basically the wives don’t want something that looks too heavy. They will eat as much […]
I was in NYC for a conference and needed to grab a quick lunch. As I passed Junior’s Cheesecake Deli in Times Square, I decided to look no more for a deli sandwich. Junior’s was packed with a bunch of tourists looking for a real New York deli experience. As a result, I had little […]
I was driving by the Long Island Bagel Cafe in Mineola and decided to stop in to see how their bagels are. I have had so many disappointing bagels that I was really rooting for Long Island Bagel Cafe to deliver. I ordered the standard plain bagel The bagel had a golden brown finish with […]
On a recommendation, we headed to Barbara’s Bagels in Roslyn. This time around, I ordered a plain bagel and whitefish on the side. I have to tell you that the whitefish was just plain awful because it was too salty and tasteless. That is a bad combination. As to the bagel, it had a slight […]
