Barb and I go to Kareem’s several times each year with a different couple each visit. The food has been consistently good and we have our favorite dishes. There is a nice variety of Mediterranean choices, so there will always be an option for just about everybody. Last week we went with a party ofContinue reading “Kareem’s Lebanese Kitchen in East Naples: a two year follow-up”

Rhong Tiam Bangkok Way of Cooking
Barb and I went to Rhong Tiam this summer in the middle of a heat wave. As soon as we walked in the front door they let us know that their air conditioner was not working. It still felt cooler in the restaurant and there was a table of four apparently enjoying themselves, so weContinue reading “Rhong Tiam Bangkok Way of Cooking”
Mizu Japanese Cuisine in Princeton Junction
Barb and I are always searching for a “go-to” sushi restaurant wherever we live. So far we have found two very good sushi places around Princeton: Elite Sushi and Aja Asian Bistro. Both had great sushi, but seemed a bit pricey for a more frequent go-to spot. This past Tuesday we tried out a newContinue reading “Mizu Japanese Cuisine in Princeton Junction”
Asian Bistro in Princeton Junction
Barb and I had dinner this weekend with her sister, Sharon, and brother-in-law, Rick. Rick and I were both celebrating our birthdays which were one day apart. They are pretty easy to please with restaurant choices, as long as Rick’s food is well-done, not spicy and lands in his comfort zone. Being a Brooklyn boy,Continue reading “Asian Bistro in Princeton Junction”
It’s Been a While
It’s been a while since I made one of these. Anyone want to venture a guess what it is? Quick clue: I’m “Hebrewtzese”.
Rocky Hill Inn American Gastro Pub in Rocky Hill, NJ
We have been driving through Rocky Hill for a couple of years and passing this very homey looking bar. It’s on a prominent corner and has a parking lot, but I’ve always thought of it as a bar. We noticed last week that TripAdvisor gives it a top rating in the town, admittedly out ofContinue reading “Rocky Hill Inn American Gastro Pub in Rocky Hill, NJ”
LiLLiPiES Bakery in Princeton Shopping Center
I often go out for breakfast with my buddy, Vince. We tend to hit the same places over and over because they are good and predictable. Sometimes we decide to change things up and search out a new spot to check out. Last week we found LiLLiPiES online and gave it a shot. Their menuContinue reading “LiLLiPiES Bakery in Princeton Shopping Center”
90 Acres restaurant at Natirar Resort
We went out to celebrate our 40th anniversary with our daughter and son-in-law who were celebrating their 18th. That’s a lot to celebrate, so we chose a restaurant that was quite upscale with a romantic, picturesque setting. They had been to 90 Acres a few years ago and had been impressed. It’s a piece ofContinue reading “90 Acres restaurant at Natirar Resort”
If you can find it: buy it!!
This absolutely wonderful Pinot Noir was on sale as a Chairman’s Selection about a month ago in the Pennsylvania state stores. It has a smooth mouthfeel, lots of upfront fruit like cherries (my favorite), jammy and other yummy stuff that I’m not knowledgeable enough to describe. I bought it for about $24. I ran aContinue reading “If you can find it: buy it!!”
The Clam Bar (Smitty’s) in Somers Point, NJ
Here’s a very brief post of a place that needs no publicity. It’s byob. It’s by the water in Somers Point, NJ. You can sit outside at the clam bar or inside at a table. A bit run down, but quite clean. Service is pretty quick and the food is very fresh and homemade. EverybodyContinue reading “The Clam Bar (Smitty’s) in Somers Point, NJ”
