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 […]
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 […]
Nikkei of Peru — One of the Best Sushi Places in Port Washington
August 7, 2024
We were in the mood for some sushi and headed to Nikkei of Peru in Port Washington. We were first struck by the small parking lot right next to Nikkei of Peru. Of course all of the spots were taken so we had to park in the supermarket parking lot next door. Nikkei of Peru is a small restaurant, more […]
Burger City — Best Burger on Long Island?
August 6, 2024
I saw on Bethpage Best of Long Island that Burger City in East Meadow was voted the best burger on Long Island. So off I went to Burger City to see if it lived up to the hype. Burger City is a classic burger stand with a takeout window and a couple of picnic tables […]
Timi Sushi — A Cut Below the Best
August 5, 2024
We went to Timi Sushi in Syosset and we had a very enjoyable meal. The ambiance was the traditional Japanese restaurant. Timi Sushi has the classic sushi rolls like the Spicy Tuna and Tokyo Rolls. We found them very enjoyable. Their best roll is Fantasy Roll which is a spicy lobster and crunch with shrimp, […]
Trattoria DiMeo — Usually a Good Neighborhood Place
July 30, 2024
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, […]
Hendricks for Dinner Really Delivered
July 29, 2024
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 […]
