Petite Framboise — Uneven French in Port Washington

August 27, 2024

As a change of pace, we decided to eat at Petite Framboise, a French restaurant in Port Washington. We started with a French Onion Soup and Macaroni Au Gratin (macaroni and cheese for us common folks). The French Onion Soup was the clear winner. The Macaroni and Cheese was the worst dish of the evening. […]

Chimichurri Charcoal Chicken — Another Miss

August 21, 2024

I was in Carle Place and was intrigued by a restaurant sign — Chimichurri Charcoal Chicken. I liked all three words in the restaurant’s name. I was challenged since I just finished lunch to eat there but I figured that I could try the wings to see if it made sense to come back for […]

Top Restaurant Red Flags

August 20, 2024

I was reading a blog by Jeff Somers regarding Restaurants Top Red Flags and I thought that he covered a bunch of good topics.  I had a few additional suggestions and combined they with the blog references.  If you see any of these items, it may be a good idea to look for another restaurant. […]

Cena 081 — Westbury’s Finest

August 19, 2024

We had a lovely meal at Cena 081 in Westbury, right by the LIRR Train Station. We were greeted by Tom Brady, the manager. Unfortunately for us, it was not THE Tom Brady, retired Football GOAT. I was confused that with the name Cena 081 when their address is 103 Post Avenue. My good friend, […]

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar — Time to Move On

August 16, 2024

I had a free night and what better way to enjoy it than to order sushi on a conveyer belt. That is the gimmick for Kura Revolving Sushi Bar in Carle Place. At Kura they have a bunch of booths with a conveyer belt winding its way through out the restaurant. Customers can take whatever […]

Town Bagel Plainview– A Cut Above

August 14, 2024

As I continue my pursuit of the best bagel on Long Island, I heard that Town Bagel of Plainview should be in the running. They do a darn good bagel there. My first observation was the parking lot in the strip mall where Town Bagel was located is a disaster. They do not have enough […]

Munsey Park Bagels — Not Worthy of Being Called A Bagel Shop

August 13, 2024

I decided to try a Bagel at Munsey Park Bagels in Manhasset and I was not overly impressed with them. The bagel experience started off well. The golden sheen on the bagel was almost perfect and I have to say that it could be the best looking bagel that I have tasted. That was the […]

Ristorante Venere — A Hidden Gem in Westbury

August 12, 2024

On a rainy night we headed over to Ristorante Venere on Carman Avenue in Westbury. Ristorante Venere is in a non descript strip mall where parking is easy which won kudos, especially from my wife, on this rainy night. From the first moment we stepped in, we had the most amazing experience. My overall take […]

Regal Kosher Deli — Good But Not Great Hot Dogs

August 9, 2024

I keep passing the Regal Kosher Deli in Plainview and today I noticed a big hot dog sign. I hastily made a left turn into their parking lot and decided to get their hot dogs. The hot dog had a good snap and it was grilled. Since Regal is a kosher deli I have to […]
