Durango, Colorado has many good restaurants on Main St. and El Moro Spirits & Tavern might be the best. Super cool atmosphere and the actual bar is beautiful. There is a casual vibe going on yet the food and drinks are top notch. Serious craft cocktails and high quality food. I just stopped in for […]

Mmmm. Avocado Toast and Moroccan Cous Cous at Cafe Gitane in Nolita. I love this place. Nolita is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Manhattan and this little French cafe is chill, tasty coffee and great food. And the waitresses wear these green uniforms. Awesome!

In NoHo in New York City, Il Buco has been rocking the Mediterranean-Italian food in a big way. It’s upscale and delicious. A block away is her sister joint, Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria. It’s Mediterranean-Italian fare as well, including house-cured meats & homemade bread, served at communal tables. I love this place. You can get meats […]

The Meatpacking District of New York City is a fun spot. Lots going on including the southern tip of the Highline which is a converted above ground train track into a walking path/park. It heads north for about a mile. The new Whitney Museum is here and so is Santina. A new joint by The […]

If you are in New York City make sure you make a trip to the Lower East Side and visit Russ & Daughters. It is a family-owned shop of high-end smoked fish, caviar & New York-style specialty foods since 1914. So much fun stuff in there but the show stealer is the lox. They have around 6 […]

TriBeCa is a super cool neighborhood in Manhattan and Marc Forgione is a fantastic way to spend an evening. This is a killer farm to table joint in a very cool atmosphere. This is upscale eating in a low key yet cool environment. It was a warm summer night and the entire front door/wall of […]

I was in Connecticut passing through Westport and stopped in Bar Taco. Tasty Mexican joint along the Saugatuck River. Now this is not a hole in the wall joint, although I love those. This more upscale but still fun and casual. And the food is excellent. Fun place and they have outdoor seating along the […]

Up near the Connecticut/Rhode Island border is the cute seaside town of Stonington, Ct. Ridiculously beautiful and quaint. And right in the heart of it is the Milagro Cafe. Outstanding Mexican food and fantastic margaritas. As is typically my tradition, I ate at the bar. Cozy little spot with great food and drinks. A winner in […]
Stonington
If you are ever up near the quaint little towns of Stonington or Mystic Connecticut in the summer, make sure you swing by Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough. It’s a Counter-serve seafood restaurant known for its lobster rolls & water views. I got mine with only hot butter and I think that’s the way to go. […]
