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 […]

What is Good Here — Food Rant
July 3, 2024

Pantano’s Neighborhood Eatery — A Poor Relative
June 27, 2024
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 […]

It changes the whole eating dynamic Tonight, unfortunately, we were unable to get a table outside. It was a little warm inside. We started the meal with salmon burgers, […]
