Our friend Mike is a bachelor this week while his wife, Lynne, is in Florida. Barb and I decided to try out Bowman’s Tavern which serves a great burger (according to our friend John). Called Mike who was happy to drive and, hence, we had a designated driver. Bonus! The chef at Bowman’s has workedContinue reading “Bowman’s Tavern in Washington’s Crossing”

We went out last night to Solstice with our friends, John and Cindy. We stopped at their home first for a little something: Oysters baked with Bacon and BBQ sauce. John is, in his own right, a true gourmet chef. We all totally enjoyed this new restaurant. They have a full bar so it’s notContinue reading “Solstice in Newtown, PA”

Take a trip over to this delightful, small shop and have a chat with a true chocolate enthusiast.

Vivino saysContinue reading “If you can find it, buy it!”

This great pizza place also has a truck that they take to the farmers market every Sunday in downtown Summit. Of course, it’s BYOB, perfect for those $8 to $14 bottles of red that you’ve bought and don’t know anything about. Simple, plain, delicious. Truly Italian in concept and creation.

Went out this weekend with our friends Vince and Claudia. (She, like Barb, is a little camera shy, so you only get to see Vince.) We’ve been going here for many years and are especially fond of their Eggplant Parmigiana. Every Mother’s Day we are required by our daughters to bring a tray of thisContinue reading “Florentino’s in Newtown, PA”
