Without a doubt, the BEST I’ve ever had anywhere! I had them last night at Cipollini in Manhasset, NY (that’s Long Island) and I consider myself a mussel affecionado no less. San Marzano tomatoes and just the right touch of red pepper flakes and garlic. Great medium sized mussels with wonderful flavor. Served with their […]

A New York institution, Carnegie Deli cures, smokes, bakes and pickles all their own. Their Hot Pastrami sandwich is simply delicious and piled high with about 6″ of pastrami. Truly an eating orgy.

Their desserts and Cheesecake are fabulous. It’s the quintessential New York style Jewish Deli and if you’re traveling to New York, don’t […]

HUGE portions…if that what you’re looking for! However, the Zuppa is worth the short drive off of the Bronix River Parkway at Pelham Parkway, and rivals any Zuppa you’ll find in the Bronx or Little Italy. Definitely NOT an upscale choice, but cozy, crowded, noisy and fun!

Near Yale, I’ve never had a better pie. They have a coal fired oven that’s got be about 12′ deep by about 8′ wide that cranks them out. No credit cards and they control the door….that’s just how good Pepe’s really is. Near Yale and just off the I-95 corridor, its well worth the few miles off the […]

CAUTION: If just dating or on business — don’t order these! OH MY GOD Bobby Van’s has to have the best ever. But for a special treat, if you love garlic, have their white sauce mussels. Unbelievably great and made with about 20 cloves of garlic that will follow you around literally for days.

Located in the Chicago Gold Coast area, Gibson’s Steakhouse, they’re so popular that you have to ask for them — they’re not even on the menu, and they’re known to run out of them, so order them early. Piled high, steaming hot, great crispy texture and cut about 3/4″ thick, these are about the best […]

Located in the Catskills close to the ski slopes and the park, without a doubt, Sweet Sue’s has the best breakfast you will ever have. A very extensive menu of exotic crusted menus and challah bread french toasts and more. 22 varieties to be exact. Huge portions (its a good idea to share). Open for […]
