Quick Stop and Shoot: Biscuits & Barbecue in Mineola
A 1940′s railcar on Long Island is something quote unusual. Even more unusual is a 1940′s railcar serving up authentic barbecue that is delighting everyone who visits and creating a cult following for itself. Such is the case at Biscuits & Barbecue.
Real Estate For Sale: 3 Bedroom / 2.5 Bathroom Townhouse in Merrick
This month’s featured “for sale” is located in Merrick at the Barclay Townhouses II development. A cooperative townhouse (you own shares in the corporation – rather than owning the real estate outright), this updated 3-bedroom / 2.5-bath is up for sale by owner for $390,000.
Red Fish Grille in Plainview
Red Fish Grille may not be as known as it should be, perhaps because it is attached to a strip of stores and is not a stand alone restaurant, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not serving top-notch seafood and other dishes to the Plainview crowd.
In Photos: MP Taverna in Roslyn
MP Taverna in Roslyn is a rarity on Long Island. It’s helmed by owner/chef Michael Psilakis, a heavyweight in the international scene. He’s amassed a Michelin star, a James Beard Award nomination and he can be seen on various television series regularly airing (including Iron Chef). It’s a wonderful thing that he has planted MP Taverna, his take on a modern Greek bistro, right here in our own backyard.
Weekend Breakfast on Long Island: Mineola Diner in Mineola
Looking for that old 1950′s style diner setting to have your weekend breakfast served piping hot? If so, then you owe it to yourself to visit Mineola Diner in Mineola. Just like stepping back in time, the small restaurant is a nod to the past with tastes that are certainly in the present.
In Photos: Chicken Coop in Valley Stream
An award-winning Colombian / Latin American restaurant is hiding in plain sight right there in Valley Stream, on Nassau County’s south shore. Located on Rockaway Avenue, Chicken Coop may not have any chickens running wild inside a wire cage, but they’re serving up some tasty cuisine from another part of this world.
The Chef’s Corner Cafe in Mineola
At The Chef’s Corner Cafe in Mineola, something special is happening. Through the friendship between owners Maryellen Villalta and Chef Israel Aguilar, they’re taking their great working relationship and putting it towards building some wonderful cuisine that both Mineola residents and workers alike are flocking to.
Photo Tour: Fortune Wheel in Levittown
Searching for a respectable dim sum restaurant on Long Island is a formidable task. When throwing out ideas for a Sunday morning meal, we turned to the twitter-sphere to get some ideas. We heard great things from multiple sources about Fortune Wheel in Levittown and as a result, we high-tailed it on over.
Focus On: The Great Neck Dining Scene
Great Neck is filled with culinary delights for every budget. While it may be an expensive town to live and play in, it doesn’t always have to be so expensive to eat (although it can be that, too). We’ve compiled a few restaurants that we’ve spoken about on FiOS1 Long Island’s Restaurant Hunter for our readers to check out and enjoy.
