On a recommendation, I headed to Glen Cove to try the chocolate chip cookie at St. Rocco’s Bakery. People have claimed that St. Rocco’s Bakery has the greatest chocolate chip cookies are on earth. I wouldn’t go that far, but they are very good, with the bittersweet chocolate melting right into the cookie proper. As […]
After dodging a bullet at another lunch spot nearby, we decided to stop by Buckram Stables in Locust Valley to have lunch this past weekend. They describe themselves as casual dining with an equestrian theme. They can call themselves anything they want but they are a pub. Since it was extremely hot, we decided to […]
With the revolving Japanese restaurants on Willis Avenue in Roslyn, we felt an underwhelming dred as we pulled into the Umami Sushi and Grill parking lot. The last restaurant in this location was a mediocre Japanese restaurant that had a nice hibachi room but nothing to write home about. They redid the entire interior and […]
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. […]

I decided to try the Pantano’s Neighborhood Eatery in Plainview thinking that it was an offshoot of Pantano’s Gourmet. I learned that there is indeed a relationship between these two Pantano’s but they are run separately. I did conclude that was a real difference between the two. I ordered the Nonna Rosa Panini which is […]
This past weekend, we went to Hilltop Kitchen and Bar in Syosset. Hilltop took over a space that was a Friendly’s for what seemed to be forever but was there for almost 40 years (I used to love their PattyMelt’s) Hilltop does not take reservations unless you are a party of 6. We were not […]
The other night I was having some drinks and had a hankering for Mexican Food. I fired up my Doordash App and found Tocolo Cantina in Garden City as an option. I had eaten there a few years back and remember it as a tasty option for Mexican. I ordered a taco and fajita I […]
