We’ve been going to Caleb’s for several years. It’s one of those places that’s just far enough that we don’t think to go there very often.

Barb and I are getting ready to move and are clearing out the house and simplifying our lives. Nonetheless, Josh has got to eat and drink and we can’t go out every night.

Their sushi is always pristine and their chefs’ creations are very innovative. Their presentation is very appealing, reminding meContinue reading “Oishi in Newtown”

My nephew, Jesse, called me last week to tell me he found a restaurant that I would love. Being, at all times, on the lookout for new places to chow down well, I thanked him and booked a table. I called my Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Abby who are often available for last minute plans.Continue reading “Le Onde Ristorante in Elkins Park”
