Eat your way through Bay Shore, Long Island

Sumou Restaurant, 551 E Main St, Bay Shore, NY 11706

sumou_restaurant_bay_shore_2Quietly located in a strip mall, Sumou offers those in the know some incredible sushi – the best I’ve had on the Island. The fish is fresh, the service is attentive, and the restaurant isn’t freezing which is a MAJOR plus for me. You start with a complimentary bowl of edamame, and I’d suggest a cup of the green tea because it is really good. As appetizers go, we’ve tried the rock shrimp which were out of this world and the wasabi shumai (dumplings pictured below) which were clearly homemade.

Verde Kitchen & Cocktails, 70 E Main St, Bay Shore, NY 11706

verde_kitchen_and_cocktails_bay_shoreLocated on the bustling main street is a trendy Mexican restaurant. If you’re making a reservation (which is advised on weekends), ask to be seated in the gorgeous Green Room. Dimly lit, pictures did not come out the best – but I can assure you the food was delicious. verde_kitchen_and_cocktailsThe chips and salsa were unique, guacamole trio was a playful twist on ordinary guac, and the fish tacos were fantastic! One major tip, don’t split dessert. The churro bread pudding could potentially cause a rift in any loving relationship, get your own!

Chiddy’s Cheesesteaks, rotating locations check their schedule

chiddys_cheesesteaks_1A popular food truck in town, these guys pump out some epic cheesesteaks. Jeff makes the bold claim that it’s better than the one he had in Philly at the Reading Terminal Market. Woah.

chiddys_cheesesteaksI can’t make that comparison because I’m not a steak eater, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy an awesome chicken sandwich all my own. The chipolte chicken special was the perfect savory package and don’t forget their fresh cut fries, which are a must!
