Black Label Burgers — Best Hot Dogs!
July 26, 2024
I had a desire to find a really good hot dog near by. I was driving down Old Country Road and saw Black Label Burgers in Westbury. I almost decided to switch it up and go for the burger since it was in the name. But, I still went with the classic Hot Dog made […]
Long Island Bagel Cafe
July 25, 2024
I was driving by the Long Island Bagel Cafe in Mineola and decided to stop in to see how their bagels are. I have had so many disappointing bagels that I was really rooting for Long Island Bagel Cafe to deliver. I ordered the standard plain bagel The bagel had a golden brown finish with […]
Bungalow Serving Up Good Wraps
July 23, 2024
We were on in Long Beach to visit the Long Beach Boardwalk Arts and Crafts Festival and did not really like the food options there. So we walked back to Park Avenue and decided to have lunch at the Bungalow. The Bungalow is a cute little restaurant that primary serves bar food and sandwiches including […]
Barbara’s Bagels Roslyn — Another Average Bagel Shop
July 22, 2024
On a recommendation, we headed to Barbara’s Bagels in Roslyn. This time around, I ordered a plain bagel and whitefish on the side. I have to tell you that the whitefish was just plain awful because it was too salty and tasteless. That is a bad combination. As to the bagel, it had a slight […]

July 19, 2024
It is Friday so off we went looking for a hot dog. We ended up in a Sonic Drive In We were fascinated with the car hop feature of Sonic but chose to pass on this option since it was taking a really long time to get someone to take our order. We ordered a […]
Tocolo Cantina Glen Cove — How the Mighty have Fallen
July 18, 2024
After my subpar experience getting Tocolo Cantina delivered, we decided to eat at the Tocolo Cantina in Glen Cove. It is a much pretty restaurant than the one in Garden City especially with outside seating in the courtyard. We ordered some tacos and a chicken fajita Much to our disappointment, these dishes were uninspiring and […]
Youngs Farm — Great Chocolate Chip Cookie
July 17, 2024
I was at the Americana looking to buy a gift for my wife and I stopped by Young Farm Cafe in Hirshleifers for an Iced Tea. While there, I also ordered a chocolate chip cookie. While the Iced Tea was great, the star of the show was their chocolate chip cookie. It was soft, chewy […]
The Shed Westbury — They Did Everything Right
July 16, 2024
We have been to the other Shed locations but wanted to try the newest one in Westbury. First off, it is the nicest looking one and the largest by far. The Shed did it right. Of course, there was a wait. Guaranteed. We went for dinner and we were informed that there would be a […]
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 […]
Cravings Plainview — A Deli Not Worth the Trip
July 12, 2024
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 […]
