I have been hearing great things about Pantano’s Gourmet in Uniondale so off we went. The layout is a pretty traditional one with the deli counter running the length of the store broken down by items to order like salads, panini’s and sandwiches. The nice bonus was the tables outside. I tend to be a […]
Cooperhill — A Modern American Bistro and Quite a Find 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 […]
Instead of doing a rant today, I thought that I would provide some advice on what not to order in a restaurant. This is an argument that I have with my wife all the time. She always like to order food that sounds good regardless of where we are eating. In one case, she wanted […]
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 […]
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 […]

As I get older, there is one trait in my fellow diners that bothers me to no end. That is the Loud Laugher!! Everyone in the restaurant is glad you’re having a fun time, but no one wants to hear your loud, cackling laugh all night long. First off, what is so amazing in your […]
Rant of the Day — Why is Ice Disappearing in the Water One of the first things I order in a restaurant is a glass of tap ice water. Over the past couple of years, waiters have served the water minus the ice. I have needed to follow asking for ice for the water. These […]
Yesterday, I went to La Piazza for dinner and thought it was very good. After we finished dinner, we were talking about whether we would be coming back soon. Even though we enjoyed it (even more so than our traditional place), we concluded that we would probably not be coming back soon. The decision was […]
