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 […]
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 at the Americana looking to buy a gift for my wife and I stopped by Young Farm Cafe in Hirshleifers for an Iced Tea. While there, I also ordered a chocolate chip cookie. While the Iced Tea was great, the star of the show was their chocolate chip cookie. It was soft, chewy […]
We were in Plainview and wanted to try out Cravings Market. When we arrived, the place was entirely empty. We had to wonder if they were closed or open. Not too reassuring. But since we were already there, we decided to try it. We ordered a chicken pesto sandwich and chicken salad wrap. Pretty basic […]
On a recommendation, I headed to Glen Cove to try the chocolate chip cookie at St. Rocco’s Bakery. People have claimed that St. Rocco’s Bakery has the greatest chocolate chip cookies are on earth. I wouldn’t go that far, but they are very good, with the bittersweet chocolate melting right into the cookie proper. As […]

This past weekend, we went to Hilltop Kitchen and Bar in Syosset. Hilltop took over a space that was a Friendly’s for what seemed to be forever but was there for almost 40 years (I used to love their PattyMelt’s) Hilltop does not take reservations unless you are a party of 6. We were not […]
Since 1975, Bagel Boss Hicksville has been leading the charge with great bagels. The best part of this Bagel Boss is that they are open 24 hours a day. You do not find that in Florida! Even though Bagel Boss has a great reputation and is one of my favorites, we had to follow the […]
As a change of pace, we headed to Bayville for to check out the Mill Creek Tavern which is a charming tavern located on Long Island Sound. First off, the waiter brought out ice cold water with ice cubes. No bread, but it started off well. We ordered a salad and meatball appetizer. These appetizers […]
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 […]
