Coliseum Kitchen and Caterers — Good Deli with Aspirations for More

May 15, 2024

I headed over to Coliseum Kitchen and Caterers in Plainview. They definitely chose the right name since the deli could be the largest one I have been to on Long Island.

Rant of the Day — Why is Ice Disappearing in the Water

April 24, 2024

One of the first things I order in a restaurant is a glass of tap ice water. Over the past couple of years, waiters have served the water minus the ice. I have needed to follow asking for ice for the water. These restaurants typically bring a cup of ice. When I get a refill, […]
