DH and I were trying to figure out what happened to this restaurant over the past few weeks. This was the start of it… one night we took a chance and drove to Mohegan Lake even though they didn’t answer their phone (DH thought it was uncharacteristic of them). When we arrived the door was …
Via Genova Cafe & Water Bar
Today I was craving my favorite salad from Via Genova. The one which owner, Diane Felicissimo mixes fresh greens with thinly sliced prosciutto, sweet figs, among other yummy ingredients. To my dismay, I found out too late that the store had closed sometime late January, 2009. She was a rarity- great customer service and always …
Weekend Treat~ Breakfast Burrito
We woke up earlier this past Sunday and went out for a brunch. I had my heart set on a breakfast burrito. We drove to Justin Thyme Cafe. As usual the food was great, but the fruit drinks were a little weak this time around. I still recommend going there for brunch or dinner. We’ve …
Temple St. Clair
I fell in love with Temple St. Clair‘s modern classic style for its imaginative, impeccable goldwork design. It reminds me of a freshwater pearl ring I bought from a Court Street, Cobble Hill jeweler and the orb jewel from “Men in Black” ;). *Photocredit: Gilt & Heidi Nahser (Special Projects: “Men in Black”)

Bisou Patisserie & Cafe
Okay, I was really decadent today =( and stuffed myself with two cupcakes one vanilla, one chocolate, followed by a surprise strawberry shortcake-like treat compliments of the pastry chef =). My husband laughed and admitted to thinking I would take one home. The desserts were the perfect sweetness and the coffee the perfect aroma (though …
Spoon Restaurant
I had a really nice dinner here with my family back in July. The interior reminded me of a Manhattan restaurant in suburbia, equipped with a sushi station along the back wall. I have absolutely no complaints about this restaurant. They really won me over. Everyone agreed the food was really tasty. The food presentation …
Temptation Tea House
Another really great place to eat. I usually order their wonton soup with watercress, beef & vegetable udon noodle soup, lychee tea, and one of their bubble teas to-go (really amazing). No boring menus here. The staff is attentive. When the weather permits, it’s always nice to eat outside. I wouldn’t doubt that we’ve dined …
Park Avalon Restaurant
Our beloved Park Avalon has been gone for quite some time now. I’m so sad =((. Everything about the restaurant was perfect! This was the place of my first date with my hubby… a chilly October night in 2001. The bar was surrounded by festive jack-o-lanterns and hurricane candles. Our last visit was September 2004 …
Arnold’s Drive In
We come here frequently on Friday nights (outdoors dining of course when Stella is with us). I almost always order their calamari salad with balsamic vinaigrette, chili, and soda float. Sometimes I have their baby-back ribs. Everything is so yummy! I have never been disappointed by the quality of their food. Think Arnold’s Drive-In from …
