The Cove Glen Cove — Come Only for the View

July 15, 2024

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 […]

What is Good Here — Food Rant

July 3, 2024

I was on Facebook and I saw this Page where Restaurant Workers complain about things that bother them. One rant extremely annoyed me and it had to do with customers asking what is good here? Why does this annoy me? First off, I ask this question all the time so they are referring to me. […]

Farm Country Kitchen — An Oasis In Riverhead

June 5, 2024

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.

This past weekend, we treked into NYC for dinner with friends at Tasca on the Upper West Side. It is a fusion of Spanish and Carribean food. We were seated in the basement which was a little eerly but quieter than upstairs. Overall, the food was good even though it was salty. We started with […]
