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, […]
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 […]

While we were out east in Riverhead, we had lunch at the Farm Country Kitchen. The entrance is so unassuming that we missed it when we drove there even with the help of Waze. Once you do enter the restaurant, the move is to sit outside overlooking the Peconic River because the view is spectacular. […]
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 […]
After sampling other panini’s some of which impressed me like Press 195 in Plainview, I decided to see if La Bottega was still serving up the best panini’s on Long Island.
