In our current environment, restaurants have been coming and going with more frequency than ever before (like Pietros in Roslyn which was only open for 9 months). Trattoria DiMeo on the other hand, is a longstanding Roslyn Heights institution serving up Italian cuisine. This family-owned establishment has been serving up delicious, home-style dishes for decades, […]
After my last post on Hendrick’s Tavern’s brunch, I received some feedback that I should not judge Hendrick’s on brunch since it is a steakhouse and dinner would be the best meal to evaluate Hendrick’s Tavern. So here it goes. We chose to sit outside and Hendrick’s Tavern did a great job on the patio […]
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 […]
After my subpar experience getting Tocolo Cantina delivered, we decided to eat at the Tocolo Cantina in Glen Cove. It is a much pretty restaurant than the one in Garden City especially with outside seating in the courtyard. We ordered some tacos and a chicken fajita Much to our disappointment, these dishes were uninspiring and […]
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 have been to the other Shed locations but wanted to try the newest one in Westbury. First off, it is the nicest looking one and the largest by far. The Shed did it right. Of course, there was a wait. Guaranteed. We went for dinner and we were informed that there would be a […]
We went to the Cove Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Glen Cove. The views make this restaurant. I should stop there!! I had low expectations on the food since these restaurants tend to be all about the view and the bar scene. We had spicy feta and humus dips and seared tuna. The Cove did […]
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 […]
After dodging a bullet at another lunch spot nearby, we decided to stop by Buckram Stables in Locust Valley to have lunch this past weekend. They describe themselves as casual dining with an equestrian theme. They can call themselves anything they want but they are a pub. Since it was extremely hot, we decided to […]
