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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I saw a posting on Reddit about a woman who went to Subway and Subway added a mandatory tip of 20% to the bill. We went to Subway where my husband and I each ordered a pretzel and my two nieces each ordered a footlong sub sandwich. I am the only one who got a […]
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 am a big fan of Hendrick’s Tavern in Roslyn for dinner but we wanted to try their brunch. We were seated right away at a table with a gorgeous view of the clock tower Once we were seated they served the ice cold water immediately. Our first impression is that they know how to […]
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 […]
