Jewish delis are a staple back home in Westchester serving up solid soups and sandwiches, a real comfort meal. We don’t have a whole bunch of them upstate, so they’re one of the places I make a point to visit when I take the two and half hour journey back […]

I was smitten from the moment we walked into this old school Japanese eatery. Many Japanese people immigrated to Hawaii and brought their wonderful culture with them, fusing it with Hawaiian traditions, making a unique blend. Dining at Teshima’s [79-7251 Mamalahoa Hwy Kealakekua, Hawaii 96750] is a fantastic testament to […]
One faithful night we had what was easily our best meal on Big Island, and quite possibly one of the best on Hawaii, or anywhere else for that matter! Moon and Turtle [51 Kalakaua St Hilo, HI 96720] is a small and thoughtful restaurant. There is a clear focus on […]
Classic, historical, but most importantly – downright delicious. Olde Bryan Inn [123 Maple Ave, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866] is my favorite restaurant in Saratoga Springs. I love OBI for so many reasons. First off you can’t beat the atmosphere. It’s an upscale tavern, but not pretentious and very affordably priced. […]
Las Vegas is a foodie dream town! There are endless options to choose from, it’s almost a daunting task to pick out a restaurant. Don’t fret, I’ve found the one you’ll want to dine at. Lotus of Siam [953 E Sahara Ave A5, Las Vegas, NV 89104] is a Thai […]
My plane just landed in Las Vegas. It was a sunny afternoon, and I was ready for lunch. I hopped in the rental car and headed to Komex [633 N Decatur Blvd Ste H Las Vegas, NV 89107], a Korean and Mexican fusion joint. It is located off the strip, […]
I know my weaknesses. I don’t generally go for Italian food for that reason. When I see bread and pasta there is no stopping me. So I only have my affair with Italian once in a blue moon. Most recently it was with E.K. Cibo’s [1702 Chrisler Ave, Schenectady, NY […]
To Grandmother’s house we go! Lunch inside Little Red Riding Hood’s house? No it isn’t a fairytale, but you may recognize this real life restaurant from the illustrations of a memorable childhood story. Enchanting Pickity Place [248 Nutting Hill Rd, Mason, NH 03048] offers a five-course gourmet lunch topped with […]
I am like a moth to The Flammerie [7 Hudson St, Kinderhook, NY 12106]. This little restaurant nestled at the edge of town is bustling with action, and for good reason. If you don’t make a reservation you probably won’t get into the back room, try your luck at the […]
Imagine living in a small town: a church, library, post office, and a restaurant… You want to go out to eat? It’s the only game in town; good thing for Rensselaerville Palmer House Café is a casual yet elegant, severely scrumptious establishment teeming with locally sourced options [1462 Main St. […]
Saratoga’s Restaurant Week stretches though this weekend (it ends March 29th), so I took this opportunity to visit a fantastic restaurant, and you should too! The Wishing Well in Gansevoort [745 Saratoga Rd, Gansevoort, NY] has a classy atmosphere and seriously delicious food. Just as we were seated and observing […]
My Mom had been raving about a middle eastern joint called Hash O’Nash (441 Mamaroneck Ave Mamaroneck, NY 10543), so last time I was in Westchester I had to give it a try. On the main drag of Mamaroneck very close to the train station was the restaurant. We came […]
It was Jeff’s birthday and I wanted to take him some place special. We had been to the Ginger Man once before years ago and remembered having a lovely time (234 Western Avenue, Albany, NY 12203). The location is so close to home, they have a parking lot, and it is […]
I love the idea of this joint healthy soups, salads, juices, and they make homemade pizzas. Perfect place for post hike snack! Earth Foods is located right on the main drag in Hudson (523 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534) and has a relaxed atmosphere. There is a lot of seating in this […]
I feel like I stumbled upon some enchanted grandma’s cottage, there is certainly some down home deliciousness to be had at this café (705 Columbia Tpke East Greenbush, NY 12061). To get to the restaurant you have to walk through the Country Trunk store filled with assorted jewelry, clothes, and […]
