One 53 Restaurant in Rocky Hill, NJ. Next to Princeton
We’ve been waiting for the patio to reopen at One 53 all summer. It’s one of our favorite spots for Al fresco dining in the Princeton area. As with every bit of construction, the holds, waits, inspections ,etc are constantly frustrating. So we decided to go and finally dine inside before we returned to Florida.…
Roots Asian Kitchen in Princeton, NJ
I’ve been told by a few neighbors in the last couple of years about Roots Asian Kitchen. It’s on Route 1 in the shopping center with Whole Foods. It’s a small spot serving Asian Fusion foods. The store front has a pretty conservative, almost inconspicuous sign. The inside is simply, but neatly designed and very…
Six Eighteen in Freehold, NJ
We often meet our friends Sol and Carin halfway between Princeton and Ocean NJ. Freehold is our most convenient town which has provided us with a few excellent restaurants. Most notably we have enjoyed three meals at Lemon, an Egyptian/Mediterranean spot which is BYOB, That is always my preferred choice since I get to imbibe…
The Gelato Shop in East Naples
Last week I had to stop in a closet store to procure a piece for Barb’s closet. As I pulled in I discovered a new Gelato shop that I had never seen. Being an adventurous fresser (eater), I popped in and tested out the goodies. One of the things I enjoy about Gelato stores is…
Garibaldi’s Bakery and Mexican Restaurant in East Naples
We put together a last minute excursion to a Mexican restaurant we had only seen from the road. Paula and Scott had been there and wanted us to try it with them. We were joined by fellow poker players, Bob and Dean, with their wives, Michelle and Gladys. As usual, there were a couple of…
Opa Greek Restaurant in Naples
Barb and I haven’t had Greek food since we’ve been in Naples this year, so it was time to check out a new place. Since I haven’t been posting many new restaurants this year, I was hoping to try a place we haven’t experienced as well as a restaurant that would be post-worthy. A brief…
Los Molcajetes-Bayshore an Update
We recently returned to Los Molcajetes on Bayshore in East Naples. It’s been a favorite of ours for several years. We usually go 3 or 4 times a year. The quality is consistent and the servers couldn’t be nicer. This is just a recent update. We had this dinner on a Monday night. Barb’s favorite,…
Paella Mediterranean Fusion: A New Treat in East Naples
This past year they closed La Moraga in North Naples. The chef opened a new place in East Naples. It’s a small, intimate spot with very charming servers . The wine list is small, but well-chosen and reasonably priced. If you prefer BYOB, they have a $20 corkage fee. The menu offers a good number…
Cafe Marquise on Marco Island
Our friend, Jaybird, had visited Cafe Marquise with his wife who was away babysitting. Barb and I invited him to join us for a spontaneous dinner. He recommended this place. The menu looked somewhat limited and a bit pricey, but he assured us the portions were sizable and shareable. We took him at his word.…
Pho Today in Plainsboro, NJ
We went for Pho last month before heading to Florida for the winter. Naples has exactly zero Vietnamese restaurants. When we feel like a nice Asian meal that’s not crazy fattening, fun to eat, not a long wait and predictably delish, we go for Pho. It’s a little high in sodium, but so is almost…
