Pietros Roslyn — Yet Another NYC Italian Restaurant that is Good
May 21, 2024
We headed over to Pietros in Roslyn (in the old Jolly Fisherman space) and had a lovely meal. They did not change the layout of the restaurant. It appeared that they changed the lighting, wallpaper and the carpet and they were good to go. We ordered a Caesar salad to start and then we had […]
Daily Rant — I Hate it When Waiters Serve the Entree Course While the Appetizer Plates are on the Table
May 20, 2024
I would like to start a school in which they teach waiters and other support staff how to serve the customers. There is a real need for people to learn the appropriate serving steps. The reason I am looking into this is because at the last two restaurants that I went to the waiters started […]
Pantano’s Gourmet — Even Better than Advertised
May 20, 2024
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 […]

May 16, 2024
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 […]
What is a Sandwich?
May 15, 2024
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 […]
Coliseum Kitchen and Caterers — Good Deli with Aspirations for More
May 15, 2024
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 […]
T Bar Roslyn — Lives Up to its Reputation
May 9, 2024
We decided to try T Bar in Roslyn. It definitely lived up to its reputation as a cool hip restaurant with good to great food. They revamped the old Brass Swan space (which was Roslyn Social and MP Taverna before that). The space seems jinxed for restaurants that come in with a splash but peter […]

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 in a farmhouse. The interior does not give off the […]
