May 28, 2024
After sampling other panini’s some of which impressed me like Press 195 in Plainview, I decided to see if La Bottega was still serving up the best panini’s on Long Island.

May 21, 2024
We headed over to Pietros in Roslyn (in the old Jolly Fisherman space) and had a lovely meal. They did not change the layout of the restaurant. It appeared that they changed the lighting, wallpaper and the carpet and they were good to go. We ordered a Caesar salad to start and then we had […]

The eternal question that we have is what is a sandwich and where is the best one? I can not answer the location of the best sandwich but I am going to address what is a sandwich. Merriam Webster defines a sandwich as follows: (i) two or more slices of bread or a split roll […]
T Bar Roslyn — Lives Up to its Reputation
May 9, 2024
We decided to try T Bar in Roslyn. It definitely lived up to its reputation as a cool hip restaurant with good to great food. They revamped the old Brass Swan space (which was Roslyn Social and MP Taverna before that). The space seems jinxed for restaurants that come in with a splash but peter […]
